Slicer alternatives

Tools for copying website components and UI

Slicer, Anima, html.to.design, DevTools. They all take a website as input — but they produce very different outputs. Choose based on where your work ends up.

Quick answer: if your endpoint is a codebase or AI tool (Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0) — use Slicer. If your endpoint is Figma — use html.to.design or Anima. If you want to understand how something works — use DevTools.

What each tool actually does

Slicer

A Chrome extension for developers, founders, and designers. Click any component on any website, restyle it on the Canvas with your brand, and export as an AI prompt or React component. The AI prompt is structured specifically for Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0 — exact colors, spacing, hover states, and animations included. No manual description needed.

Pick this if: Your endpoint is a codebase or AI tool. You want to stop describing UI from memory.

Anima

A bidirectional Figma-to-code tool that also captures websites into Figma. Strong for teams where designers control the design system and ship code directly from Figma. The code output is structured around Figma components rather than developer conventions.

Pick this if: You're a designer or design-engineering team who lives in Figma and wants round-trip Figma ↔ code.

html.to.design

A Figma plugin and Chrome extension that captures any webpage as editable Figma layers — real text, auto-layout, proper component structure. Does this one thing very well. Does not output code or AI prompts.

Pick this if: You're a designer building a Figma library or moodboard and your endpoint is Figma, not code.

DevTools

Built into every browser. The right tool for understanding why something looks the way it does — debugging, learning, or making surgical changes. Not designed for extracting components to reuse: you copy CSS one rule at a time, hover states require manual triggering, and CSS-in-JS class names are often hashed.

Pick this if: You want to understand or debug, not extract and reuse.
