Comparison

Why the Hybrid Approach Wins

CSS-Only Analysis

Precise but rigid

  • Extracts exact color values and dimensions
  • Cannot perceive visual hierarchy and atmosphere
  • Output reads like code comments, lacks design feel
  • Good for 1:1 cloning, not for learning
Recommended

Design Extractor

  • Screenshot multimodal + CSS extraction + component detection
  • Preserves original visual character and atmosphere
  • Output follows Google Stitch standard format
  • AI can read and generate consistent styles directly

Screenshot-Only

Atmospheric but loose

  • Captures visual style and mood well
  • Color values and dimensions are imprecise
  • May miss hidden interaction states
  • Good for inspiration, not precise cloning

Compatibility

One DESIGN.md, Many Workflows

Claude Code

Place DESIGN.md in project root; Claude reads it and generates UI matching the spec

# Place DESIGN.md in project root
claude """Generate login page per DESIGN.md"""

Cursor

Paste into .cursorrules to keep Cursor referencing your design spec while coding

# In .cursorrules add:
Always reference DESIGN.md for styling.

Google Stitch

Upload DESIGN.md as your design system; Stitch applies it to all generated pages

// Stitch auto-detects DESIGN.md in project
// No extra config needed

Codex / GPT-4o

Inject as system prompt; AI applies the design system when generating frontend code

# Prefix prompt with DESIGN.md content
# All subsequent output follows the spec

FAQ

About Getting Website Design.md

DESIGN.md is a Markdown file format describing a web design system, including colors, typography, spacing, and component styles. By extracting a website's DESIGN.md, you can feed it directly to Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI tools to generate interfaces with consistent style — no more "AI design lottery".

The Free tier is completely free — use your own API Key for unlimited analyses. Pro ($5/mo) gives 50 platform-powered analyses. Max ($20/mo) gives 200 analyses, ideal for design teams.

From clicking "Analyze" to receiving the complete DESIGN.md document typically takes 30 seconds. The extension auto-captures 3 screenshots, extracts CSS variables, font stacks, and color schemes, then AI streams the structured document.

Fully supported. Design Extractor can analyze webpages in any language, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. AI correctly identifies font stacks, typography parameters, and visual hierarchy.

Absolutely. Save the generated DESIGN.md to your project root and Cursor / Claude Code will read it automatically; or paste it into your .cursorrules file to keep AI referencing your design spec.

Manually copying CSS only gives you scattered color and size values without overall design context. Design Extractor combines screenshot multimodal analysis + CSS extraction + component detection to output a structured, contextual, AI-ready design system document that captures the original site's character.

Very secure. Your API Key is stored only in local chrome.storage.local and never passes through our servers. The extension itself works offline when using a custom key.

Yes. After analysis, copy to clipboard with one click or download as a {hostname}_DESIGN.md file. The generated file is standard Markdown and can be opened in any Markdown-compatible editor.
