See a website you love? Clone its entire design system in seconds.
Found a website with the perfect look? DesignMirror lets you extract its complete design DNA - colors, typography, spacing, shadows, border radius, button styles, card layouts, animations, hover effects, transitions, and more - then generates AI-ready prompts so you can recreate that same professional aesthetic for your own project.
No more guessing hex codes, eyeballing spacing, or reverse-engineering that smooth hover animation. No more "how did they make it look so good?" Just analyze, copy, and build.
- 🎨 Color Palette Extraction - Intelligent clustering with K-means algorithm to identify primary, secondary, accent, and semantic colors
- 📝 Typography Analysis - Detects font families, modular scales (Golden Ratio, Major Third, etc.), and type hierarchies
- 📏 Spacing System - Identifies base units (4px, 8px, etc.) and generates consistent spacing scales
- 🧩 Component Detection - Automatically detects UI components (buttons, cards, modals, forms, etc.) with confidence scores
- ✨ Visual Effects - Extracts shadows, border radius, gradients, and other design patterns
- 🎬 Animations & Transitions - Captures CSS transitions, @keyframes animations, timing functions, and easing curves
- 🔄 Transform Detection - Analyzes 2D/3D transforms (translate, rotate, scale, perspective)
- 👆 Interactive States - Extracts :hover, :focus, :active styles so your recreations feel alive
- 🤖 AI-Ready Output - Generates prompts optimized for Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools
- 📋 Multiple Export Formats - Copy as formatted prompt or export as JSON
- ⚡ Fast & Efficient - Analyzes thousands of elements in seconds with smart caching
