Extract layout, components, and design patterns from any live website — the right way.
| Method | Time | Accuracy | SPA Support | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DevTools inspection | 4–20 hrs | High (manual) | Yes | Notes / copy-paste |
| View Source + copy | 2–10 hrs | Medium | No | Raw HTML files |
| HTTrack / wget | 10 min | Low (broken) | No | Static file dump |
| Screenshot-to-code | 5 min | Approximate | No | HTML/Tailwind |
| UI reverse engineering | < 2 min | High | Yes | React/Next.js project |
Cloning a website’s design used to mean hours in DevTools or broken HTTrack dumps.
UI reverse engineering automates the entire process — capturing the rendered DOM, detecting components, and generating clean code you can actually build on. Instead of manually copying CSS values and recreating layouts, you get a production-ready Next.js project in minutes.
Find the website you want to extract the design from
Copy the URL and paste it into ui.rip
Wait for the capture to complete (usually under 60 seconds)
Inspect the detected components, layout, and design tokens
Download the generated Next.js project
Yes, when done ethically. ui.rip captures the rendered DOM — the same HTML and CSS any browser sees. It does not access server-side code, databases, or private APIs.
Guidelines:
"Client says 'make it look like Stripe'" — extract the layout pattern in 2 minutes instead of 2 days.
Study how Linear structures their settings page, or how Vercel builds their dashboard.
Understand how production teams build UIs. See real component structure, not tutorial examples.
Move a legacy site to a modern stack. Extract the current UI, get a Next.js project, iterate from there.
Free to capture and inspect. $3–5 to download the full project.
