Pablo
a Chrome extension that copies UI from any website
Last verified:
What is Pablo?
Pablo is a Chrome extension that recreates any UI component from the web by capturing HTML + CSS and putting it on your clipboard. It works in three simple steps: hover over any element on any website, click the highlighted component to capture it, and paste the code into your development environment. Pablo grabs fonts, animations (including GSAP, Framer Motion, and Webflow interactions), CSS keyframes, computed styles, and all necessary styling information automatically.
The tool is designed for frontend developers, designers, and anyone who needs to quickly replicate UI designs from inspiration websites. It automates the extraction of structural and stylistic data, removing the friction of reverse-engineering web designs and significantly speeding up the initial phase of frontend development. The output is structured to paste cleanly into AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex when rebuilding components in your own stack.
Pablo captures sophisticated animation data and ensures visual integrity by bundling necessary font information including @font-face and Google Fonts links. It requires no setup, works with Manifest v3, has no host permissions, and runs entirely in the browser with no backend. The tool is free and open source.
