Copy Element

Copy Element turns any element on any web page into a self-contained HTML + CSS snippet — one that renders the same wherever you paste it, because it doesn't depend on the page it came from. Click the toolbar icon (or press Alt+Shift+C), hover to highlight, click to copy. WHAT YOU GET A single clipboard block: the element's markup, plus a <style> tag scoped just to it, with fonts and images inlined as data URIs. Paste it into a blank file, a CodePen, an email template, or another site's DevTools — it carries its own styling instead of inheriting the destination's. WHY IT'S ACCURATE A naive "grab computed styles" approach produces megabytes of CSS and still looks wrong once pasted, because the destination page's own styles keep leaking through. Copy Element does the opposite: • Resets every emitted class against the destination page so nothing it already defines (a global margin reset, a body font) can leak in • Diffs against real browser defaults instead of copying every property • Keeps layout values the author actually wrote (%, auto, calc()) instead of freezing pixels — so the copy stays fluid, not brittle • Walks open shadow roots and resolves <slot>s • Shares one CSS class across elements with identical styling, so a 500-element section doesn't become a multi-megabyte snippet • Inlines the fonts and images the element depends on, so the snippet still looks right with no network connection back to the original page PICKING CONTROLS • Hover — highlights the element under the cursor • Click — copies it • ↑ / ↓ — widen to the parent / narrow to the first child before copying • Enter — copy the currently highlighted element • Esc — cancel After copying, a small toast shows the size and offers "Copy again" or "Download .html". PRIVACY Copy Element collects nothing, stores nothing, and has no server to send anything to. Every step — picking, style extraction, clipboard write — runs locally in your browser. Open source.
