Click a card, a nav, a whole pricing section. TailSnap hands back a component with responsive breakpoints, hover states, dark mode and Framer Motion — not a wall of raw CSS.
For teams shipping several client projects every month.
Choose Growthexport default function PricingCard() { return ( <motion.article className="p-6 bg-white rounded-xl border border-slate-200 shadow md:p-8 hover:shadow-xl dark:bg-slate-900" whileHover={{ scale: 1.02 }} > <h3 className="text-xl font-bold lg:text-2xl"> {item.title} </h3> /* ... */ </motion.article> ); }
getComputedStyle
gives a single snapshot: current viewport, resting state. It cannot know what happens on
hover, at the md: breakpoint,
or in dark mode. TailSnap reads the page's actual stylesheet rules too — which is where
those answers live.
| Can it give you… | CSS Peeper | VisBug | DevTools | TailSnap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tailwind classes, not raw CSS | No | No | No | Yes |
Responsive md: / lg: variants |
No | No | No | Yes |
hover: and focus: states |
No | No | By hand | Yes |
| Dark mode variants | No | No | No | Yes |
| Framer Motion animation | No | No | No | Yes |
| A React / Vue / Svelte component | No | No | No | Yes |
Every feature here exists because the naive version of it produced code nobody would ship.
Capture on a 1440px screen and every min-width rule is already applied,
so naive tools bake the desktop values in as the base. TailSnap replays the
un-mediated cascade to recover p-6 md:p-8 exactly as it was authored.
Cross-origin stylesheets throw when a script touches them, so their hover and responsive rules are invisible. Deep Scan fetches and parses them anyway — with the browser's own parser, not a homemade one.
Structurally identical siblings collapse into a data array and a
.map(), with the varying text lifted into named fields. A pricing grid
arrives as a template, not as copy-paste.
In a shadcn project a captured button should be <Button variant="outline">,
with the imports written for you — not forty classes that quietly stop following your theme.
CSS keyframes and hover transforms become Framer Motion props. Grab an element
mid-animation and it will not arrive as opacity-0 — the motion layer
owns those properties, so the component is still visible.
Colours that had no exact palette match, stylesheets it could not read, limits it hit — all listed in a fidelity report. Silent wrong answers are worse than flagged ones.
Copy, download, a zip with the assets and tailwind.config.js, layered SVG
for Figma, or write the file directly into your repo through the local bridge.
Captures, settings and your library live on your machine. Nothing leaves the device unless you explicitly use AI cleanup or cloud sync.

Get ProTailSnap reads styles the browser already exposes, the same way DevTools does — that part is entirely ordinary. What it does not do is grant you rights to someone else's design, brand, copy or images. Use it to understand how a layout works and to rebuild it in your own stack, not to clone a site wholesale. That distinction matters legally and it is the only way we would build this.
At install: none of the scary ones. TailSnap uses activeTab, which means it can only read the page you explicitly invoke it on, by clicking the icon or pressing the shortcut. Broader access is optional and requested only if you turn on Deep Scan or bundle export.
Yes — it is plain JSX or SFC markup with standard Tailwind classes, sorted the way
prettier-plugin-tailwindcss sorts them. Anything that could not be expressed as a
utility falls back to an arbitrary value like p-[13px]
rather than a class that does not exist.
Anything painted to <canvas> — Flutter
web apps, some chart libraries — has no DOM to read, and TailSnap says so instead of
emitting garbage. Very large sections hit a node limit, which the report tells you about.
And it captures a design, not behaviour: state, data fetching and event handlers are yours to write.
You do not. TailSnap collects it for you — the panel flips to Pro on its own within a few seconds of the payment clearing. There is no key to copy out of an email and no code to paste. If you bought on a different machine, paste the transaction id from your receipt into Settings and it restores there too.
Both. v3 exports a tailwind.config.js;
v4 exports an @theme block. The switch is in Settings.
