Description
Pablo is a Chrome extension that copies the HTML and CSS behind any element you hover.It captures computed styles, fonts (with @font-face and Google Fonts links), CSS keyframes, and animation props from GSAP and Framer Motion. The output is structured so it pastes cleanly into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex when you want to rebuild a component in your own stack.Manifest v3, no host permissions, no backend. Free.https://usepablo.devHappy to answer questions about how the extraction works, and would love to hear about sites where the output breaks.
