Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is CSSBite?

CSSBite is a free Chrome extension that lets you select any component on any website and extract clean, reusable code. One click gives you HTML, CSS, React JSX, Vue, Svelte, Tailwind, and more.

Is CSSBite free?

Yes. All core features are completely free with no limits — code extraction in 9 formats, live preview, design inspector, component library, CodePen export, accessibility audit, keyboard shortcuts, and measure mode. No account needed.

What are Pro features?

Pro features are advanced tools coming soon — animation extraction, SCSS/LESS output, AI class renaming, full page capture, project generation (download a Next.js/React/Vue project as ZIP), multi-tab extraction, and more. They will require a paid license.

When will Pro features be available?

Pro features are currently in development and will launch soon. Join the waitlist by installing the free extension — you'll be the first to know when Pro is available.

Compatibility

Does CSSBite work on any website?

Yes. It works on any website that loads in Chrome — React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, static HTML, and more. The only exceptions are restricted pages like chrome:// URLs, browser settings pages, and the Chrome Web Store itself.

Does it support Tailwind CSS?

Yes. CSSBite auto-detects when a site uses Tailwind CSS and preserves the original utility classes in the extraction. For non-Tailwind sites, it can convert extracted CSS to Tailwind utility classes.

Does it work with single-page apps (SPAs)?

Yes. CSSBite reads the live DOM, so it works with dynamically rendered content from React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and any other SPA framework.

Does it work on password-protected or logged-in pages?

Yes, as long as you can see the page in your browser, CSSBite can extract from it. It reads the current tab's DOM — whatever you can see, it can capture.

Will it be available for Firefox?

A Firefox version is planned for the future. Currently, CSSBite is Chrome-only (also works on Chromium-based browsers like Edge, Brave, Arc, and Opera).

Usage

Will CSSBite slow down my browser?

No. CSSBite only runs when you activate it (click the icon or press the shortcut). There are no background processes, no injection on page load, and no performance impact during normal browsing.

Can I extract entire pages?

The free version is designed for individual components and sections. Full page extraction (capturing the entire page with scroll-and-stitch screenshot) is a Pro feature coming soon.

How accurate is the extracted code?

Very accurate. CSSBite extracts computed CSS styles (not just the stylesheet rules), so the output matches exactly what you see in the browser. It also handles fonts, backgrounds, and inherited styles.

Can I save components for later?

Yes. Click "Save" in the toolbar to add any extraction to your personal component library. You can name, browse, and export/import your library as a JSON file.

Privacy & Legal

Does CSSBite collect my data?

No. CSSBite collects zero data — no analytics, no tracking, no cookies, no network requests to external servers. Everything runs 100% locally in your browser. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Can I use the extracted code commercially?

CSSBite is a tool — like a screenshot app or a color picker. How you use the extracted code depends on the source website's terms of service and copyright. CSSBite is designed for learning, prototyping, rebuilding your own projects, and extracting code from sites you own or have permission to use.

Is CSSBite open source?

The core extension code is not currently open source. The extension is available for free on the Chrome Web Store.
