Design Extractor is the only tool focused on "design system analysis", outputting structured specification documents rather than code or design files.
METHODOLOGY
The First Step of Cloning Is Not Writing Code
Problem: Without specs, code is a house of cards
Cloning a website with AI-generated code often only replicates the surface-level "look". The underlying grid system, color logic, type hierarchy, and motion parameters are lost. The result is fragmented, unmaintainable code.
Solution: Extract specs first, then decide output
Design Extractor breaks down any website into a standardized DESIGN.md document—covering color palette, font stack, spacing system, texture definitions, component specs, and replication guide. This document can guide AI coding tools or design teams.
Benefit: One document, multi-platform reuse
The generated DESIGN.md can be pasted directly into Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Windsurf prompts, letting AI "code with design specs". It also powers Figma design systems, team design reviews, and competitive analysis reports.

FAQ
Questions About Website Design Clone Tools
Clone tools typically output code (React/Vue/HTML) or design files (Figma) so you can quickly replicate a website interface. Design spec extractors (like Design Extractor) output structured design documents (DESIGN.md) containing color schemes, fonts, spacing, and motion parameters. It sits "upstream" in the cloning workflow—first understand the design language, then decide how to output.
Design Extractor itself does not generate code—it generates design specification documents. However, these documents can be used directly as prompts in AI coding tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf, letting AI generate high-quality code based on precise design specs. Many users find this produces better results than direct code cloning, because AI can make smarter implementation decisions when given proper design context.
Extracting publicly visible design specifications (colors, fonts, layout logic) from public websites for learning, research, and reference falls under fair use—no different from manually opening DevTools to inspect CSS. Design Extractor only analyzes publicly visible style information and does not scrape sensitive data or backend code. Do not use extracted specs for commercial plagiarism or intellectual property infringement.
Design Extractor can analyze any HTTPS webpage open in Chrome. For pages requiring login, as long as you are logged in and can see the content in your browser, the extension can analyze the currently rendered state. The extension does not store or transmit your login credentials.
UICloner focuses on cloning individual UI components (like a button or card), outputting HTML/CSS code for that specific component. Design Extractor analyzes the entire website design system, outputting a comprehensive document covering colors, fonts, textures, motion, and component specifications. They are complementary: use Design Extractor to understand the overall design language, then UICloner for specific components.
The document includes four major sections: 1) Overall Atmosphere—describing the design personality and visual style; 2) Design System—core style, color palette, font stack, textures (gradients/shadows/blur), motion parameters; 3) Component Specs—style definitions for Buttons, Cards, Navigation, Inputs, Typography; 4) Replication Guide—practical advice for applying this design system to new projects.
The Free plan lets you use your own OpenAI-compatible API Key for unlimited analyses. The Pro plan ($5/month) provides 50 platform-powered analyses per month with no API Key setup required. The Max plan ($20/month) provides 200 analyses per month, ideal for design teams and power users. All versions have identical core features.
Design Extractor reads both CSS variables/computed styles and captures three page screenshots (top, 35%, 70%), allowing AI to analyze based on both visual and code inputs. For complex layouts, AI infers grid systems and responsive breakpoints. Accuracy is typically above 90%, reaching 95%+ for standard design systems.
Currently Design Extractor outputs Markdown format. You can manually use the color values, font stacks, and spacing values from the document to build Figma Design Systems. We are developing direct export to Figma Tokens format—stay tuned.
Design Extractor supports any OpenAI-compatible API, including OpenAI GPT-4o, Anthropic Claude, Kimi, Doubao, and more. You can configure your own API Key and Base URL in settings, or use built-in platform credits.
