How do I copy a website design?

Paste the URL into CopyDesign.ai. Our 6-pass pipeline renders the page in headless Chromium, reads every computed style, fingerprints the tech stack, and produces a 6,000-word engineering spec. Paste that spec into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, or v0 and the AI rebuilds the design in your own stack.

Is it legal to copy a website design?

CopyDesign.ai produces a structural specification — colors, spacing, typography scale, layout grid, animation timings, tech stack. It is not a verbatim copy of code, copy, imagery, logos, or trademarks. You are responsible for replacing proprietary brand assets and copy before shipping. Taking structural inspiration is standard practice; shipping a pixel-identical knockoff with someone else's logo is not.

Can I copy a website design without coding?

You still need an AI code tool — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, v0, Bolt, or Lovable — to ship the result. CopyDesign.ai is the prompt layer: it generates the structured spec those tools need to reproduce a design faithfully on the first try.

How is CopyDesign.ai different from v0, Bolt, or Lovable?

v0, Bolt, and Lovable are hosted builders — you work inside their editor and the output is locked to their runtime. CopyDesign.ai is a prompt layer: you get a plain-text 6,000-word engineering spec that works in any AI code tool, forever, with no vendor lock.

Is the output copyright-safe?

The output is a structural specification — design tokens, layout, animation timings, tech stack — not a verbatim copy. You are responsible for replacing proprietary copy, imagery, brand assets, and trademarks before shipping.

What exactly is in the 6,000-word spec?

Tech stack detection, design tokens (colors, typography, spacing), component library fingerprint, full layout grid with breakpoints, animation timing functions and triggers, interaction specs (hover, scroll, focus states), responsive behavior per section, and a step-by-step build order.

Do you store the cloned sites or the specs?

We cache URL specs for 7 days so re-runs return instantly. Uploaded screenshots and videos are discarded after analysis. You can delete your clone history at any time from the dashboard.

How long does it take to copy a website design?

Most URL clones complete in 20–45 seconds. Image and mobile-screenshot mode finishes in 10–20 seconds because there is no fetch step. Video mode takes 60–90 seconds depending on file size. The 6-pass pipeline runs in parallel, so even complex JS-heavy pages rarely exceed 90 seconds.

How much does it cost to copy a website design?

Your first clone is free, no card required. After that, a single spec costs $1.99 (one-shot, no subscription). Monthly plans start at $9.99 for 12 clones, $19.99 for 30 clones, and $49 for the Scale tier with higher limits. All plans produce the same 6,000-word plain-text output.

Can I copy a website design and customize it for my brand?

Yes — that is the intended use. The spec documents design tokens, layout grid, typography, and animation timings as editable values, not locked assets. Swap the color palette, replace the logo, rewrite the copy, and the underlying structure is yours. CopyDesign.ai is a starting point, not a final deliverable.

How do I copy a website's CSS and design tokens?

CopyDesign.ai reads computed styles directly from the live DOM after the page has fully rendered. Every hex color, CSS custom property, font metric, spacing value, border-radius, and shadow definition is extracted and written into the spec as named design tokens. You get the exact values — not eyeballed approximations.

Can I copy a mobile app or mobile-responsive design?

Yes, in two ways. For mobile-responsive websites, the 6-pass pipeline captures every breakpoint, column collapse, and font-size step. For native iOS and Android apps, use Mobile App mode — upload up to 10 screenshots and receive a full spec with React Native and SwiftUI component guidance.

Does it copy animations, hover states, and scroll interactions?

Yes. The second visual pass is dedicated to motion: easing functions, durations, delays, scroll-triggered IntersectionObserver thresholds, and hover transitions are all captured and written as Motion/GSAP-compatible specs. This is one of the main advantages over pasting a screenshot into an LLM, which drops all interaction data.

What's the difference between copying a design and taking inspiration from it?

CopyDesign.ai produces a structural specification — spacing, typography scale, color tokens, layout grid, animation timings — not a verbatim copy of code, copy, logos, or brand assets. Taking structural inspiration is standard industry practice. You are responsible for replacing proprietary brand elements before shipping. The spec gives you the engineering blueprint; the creative application is yours.

Can I copy websites built with Webflow, Framer, or Squarespace?

Yes. The 6-pass pipeline reads computed styles from the live DOM regardless of the builder used. Webflow, Framer, Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress sites all render to standard HTML and CSS in the browser — that is what we extract. The spec will note the detected platform so your AI can target an appropriate stack.

Will Google penalize my site for copying another design?

Google penalizes duplicate content — identical text and media — not similar visual layouts. Design patterns (grid systems, card layouts, color palettes) are not copyrightable in most jurisdictions. Build on the structural blueprint, write original copy, and use your own imagery and brand assets. That produces a unique page Google can index and rank on its own merits.

How is CopyDesign.ai different from Locofy, Anima, or Builder.io?

Locofy, Anima, and Builder.io convert existing Figma designs into code — you need the source design file. CopyDesign.ai works from a live URL, screenshot, or video with no design file required. The output is a plain-text engineering spec you paste into any AI code tool you already use, rather than generated code locked to a proprietary runtime.

Can I copy a SaaS landing page for my own product?

Yes — SaaS landing pages are among the most common use cases. Paste the URL of any landing page you admire, get a 6,000-word spec covering its layout, typography, component structure, and animations, then drop it into Claude Code, Cursor, or v0 to build your own version with your branding and messaging.

Does it work on single-page apps built with React, Vue, or Svelte?

Yes. Headless Chromium fully evaluates JavaScript before extraction begins, so client-rendered SPAs — whether built with React, Vue, Svelte, or Angular — are processed the same way as server-rendered pages. The stack fingerprint step will detect the framework and include it in the spec so your AI targets the right primitives.

Can I copy a website's design for client work?

Yes. There is no restriction on using specs for client projects. Many agencies and freelancers use CopyDesign.ai to rapidly prototype designs inspired by reference sites, then customise them for each client. The plain-text spec can be shared directly with clients or dropped into whichever AI code tool the project uses.

How accurate is the copied design — is it really pixel-perfect?

We aim for 90% fidelity on the first AI prompt, not guaranteed pixel-perfection. Design tokens, layout grid, typography, and animations are extracted from computed values and are highly accurate. Complex WebGL scenes, proprietary SVG illustrations, and custom shader effects are approximated with described placeholders. Budget one or two rounds of AI refinement to close the remaining gap.

Do I need a Figma file to use CopyDesign.ai?

No Figma file required. CopyDesign.ai works from three input types: a public URL (most common), an uploaded screenshot or set of screenshots, or an uploaded screen-recording video. The 6-pass extraction pipeline reads the live or uploaded source directly — no design tool, no API key, no plugin to install.

One spec. Every AI code tool. No lock-in.

Copy any website design into an AI build spec.

Paste a URL and we copy any website design into a 6,000-word engineering spec. Drop it into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini and get 90% there on the first prompt.

Why screenshots fail

A screenshot gives your AI a jpeg and a prayer. It hallucinates the font, invents the spacing, and picks the wrong component library. We give it the actual data.

The screenshot approachscreenshot.png → llm → guesswork

Locked in, flying blind

Bolt, Lovable, v0 trap you in their editor and hallucinate everything the screenshot can't show. You spend three hours fixing what one good spec would have prevented.

Animations gone. Screenshot is a frozen frame.
Fonts guessed. Usually lands on system-ui.
Colors eyeballed. HSL drift, wrong opacity.
Responsive layout invented. Usually wrong.
Component library: whatever the LLM feels like.
Tech stack unknown. Output is unstyled divs.
Scroll effects, hover states, interactions: dropped.
Vague prompt in, vague code out.

CopyDesign.aiurl → spec → any AI tool

Portable. Precise. Yours.

Plain markdown. Paste it into any AI tool you already pay for. We crawl the live page, parse the DOM, render scroll states, extract the CSS graph, and produce a spec with enough signal that your AI doesn't have to guess.

cubic-bezier curves, durations, delays — all mapped.
Exact font family, weight, size, line-height.
Hex-precise colors, gradient stops, CSS vars.
Every breakpoint, column collapse, font step.
Fingerprints shadcn / Radix / MUI / Tailwind.
Detects Next.js, Astro, Vite, Motion, GSAP.
Scroll triggers and hover states documented.
6,000+ word spec your AI can actually follow.

Your AI is only as good as the context you give it. Give it a spec, not a screenshot.

Our process

No DevTools spelunking. No color-picking. No console-logging padding values. We run the site through six extraction passes and hand you the source of truth in under 45 seconds.

INGEST

Fetch the live site

Headless Chromium renders the real page — JS evaluated, web fonts loaded, scroll states captured, network calls logged. No stale screenshot, no source-view guessing.

EXTRACT

Extract the DOM truth

We read computed CSS on every element — exact hex colors, font-family, line-height, padding, border-radius, shadow. Plus the raw copy so the AI reproduces text instead of hallucinating it.

SEE

Two-pass visual analysis

A frontier vision model reads the screenshots. Pass one maps layout, hierarchy, and component structure. Pass two catches animations, hover states, and scroll-triggered motion.

IDENTIFY

Fingerprint the stack

We detect Next.js, Astro, Vite, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, Radix, Framer Motion, GSAP — from DOM patterns and runtime globals. Output targets the same stack so your AI builds native-shaped code.

COMPOSE

Synthesize the spec

DOM findings + visual findings + stack fingerprint merge into a structured 6,000-word engineering brief — design tokens, layout grid, animation timings, responsive breakpoints, build order.

SHIP

Paste into any AI tool

Plain text out — works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, v0, Bolt, Lovable, ChatGPT. No vendor lock. You own the spec forever, even if you cancel.

What you get

Every run produces a structured 6,000+ word blueprint. Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and get a working implementation — not a hallucinated approximation.

## BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
Build in Next.js 14 (App Router). Use Tailwind with

Copy. Paste into your AI tool. Ship.

Tech stack

Detected from headers, script signatures, and DOM patterns. Next.js / Astro / Vite / Remix — with versions where exposed.

Design tokens

Hex values, CSS custom properties, spacing scale, font metrics, border-radius, shadow definitions — every variable that matters.

Behavior

easing curves, scroll triggers, hover transitions, breakpoint switches. The 40% of the design a screenshot can't capture.

What we extract

The signal that separates a polished build from a rough copy — easing curves, computed tokens, the actual component library. We pull it from the live page, not an image.

Layout & Spacing Extraction

Reads computed box models, grid definitions, gap values, padding, and visual hierarchy from the live DOM — not a guess from a screenshot.

Exact Color & Type

Pulls hex values, gradient stops, CSS custom properties, font families, weights, sizes, and computed line-heights straight from the render tree.

Component Library Detection

Fingerprints shadcn/ui, Radix, MUI, Headless UI, and Tailwind patterns — so the spec tells your AI which primitives to reach for.

Animation Curves & Triggers

Captures easing functions, durations, scroll-linked effects, and hover transitions — then writes them as Motion/GSAP specs your AI can implement.

Full Stack Fingerprint

Detects Next.js, Vite, Astro, Remix, analytics scripts, CDN signatures, and third-party integrations. Exact versions when headers expose them.

Responsive Breakpoint Map

Documents every breakpoint, flex/grid switch, column collapse, and font-size step — so mobile layout isn't an afterthought in the spec.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Straight answers about what CopyDesign.ai does, and what it doesn't.

Does it work on apps behind login walls?

No. We fetch and screenshot the public-facing URL only. Dashboards, admin panels, and authenticated flows are out of reach. For those, switch to Image or Mobile mode — take the screenshots yourself and upload them.

Can it handle CSS-in-JS sites like Linear or Stripe?

Yes. We read computed styles after the page renders, not the source JS. Stripe and Linear are two of our highest-fidelity outputs — CSS-in-JS is not a problem.

What about WebGL or canvas-heavy sites?

Partially. Static layout, typography, and UI chrome extract cleanly. WebGL shaders and Three.js scenes are approximated — we describe the effect and provide a placeholder implementation. Full shader replication is not on the roadmap.

Is my URL stored anywhere?

Your URL is stored in your clone history, visible in your dashboard. We don't sell or share it. Screenshots captured during analysis are discarded once the spec is generated. See the privacy policy for the full picture.

What counts as one 'clone' — do re-runs cost extra?

Every Generate click costs one credit, including re-runs of the same URL. Results are not cached between sessions, so a re-run produces a fresh spec and draws one credit.

How long does a typical clone take?

URL mode: 20–45 seconds. Image and mobile-screenshot mode: 10–20 seconds (no fetch step). Video mode: 60–90 seconds depending on file size. JS-heavy pages take longer because we wait for full render.

Can I clone mobile apps from screenshots?

Yes — that's Mobile App mode. Upload up to 10 screenshots from any iOS or Android app and get a full spec with React Native and SwiftUI component guidance. More screens means a more complete output.

What AI tools does the output work with?

The spec is plain text. Paste it into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Replit, v0, Bolt, or ChatGPT. It's formatted for Next.js + Tailwind by default but readable enough to adapt to any stack.
