StylePad – Visual CSS Sandbox

About

StylePad is a fast, visual CSS scratchpad that lets you safely experiment with styles directly on live websites.

Hover any element to inspect it, make real-time visual tweaks, compare differences, and copy clean CSS for reuse—all without touching browser DevTools or breaking the page.

It’s designed for web designers, front-end developers, and anyone who tweaks CSS often.
