What is SnipCSS
SnipCSS extracts associated styles of any element subtree only adding the styles that
are needed to recreate the design.
Tailwind conversion is an option added to SnipCSS 1.9. You can now convert any element on the web into Tailwind FOR FREE!.
How Does It Work?
SnipCSS works by using the DevTools protocol to get matched CSS rules for every element in the subtree that you select. It uses some tricks to merge styles and process
inherited rules so that only the styles needed to recreate that element's design get applied in the final extraction. To process every element
is intensive so it's better to keep your selection under 1000 elements.
The extracted snippet includes all CSS styles, animations, and even pseudo-elements, ready for use in your own projects.
Why Should You Use SnipCSS?
SnipCSS is a powerful tool for developers and designers looking to save time and effort. It eliminates the manual process of inspecting and copying website code.
SnipCSS can also convert legacy code to Tailwind CSS. Tailwind is often easier for AI agents to work with because both structure and style are in the same code instead of distributed accross large CSS files. Feeding AI agents Tailwind code from SnipCSS can reduce AI Slop designs and accelerate development - more features related to this are in the pipeline!
