description

Get CSS Background helps developers and designers quickly save interesting CSS backgrounds they notice while browsing.

Instead of opening browser DevTools and interrupting the current task, the user can open the extension on the current page, scan visible page elements, and collect complex background styles for later study and reuse.

The extension is designed for a common workflow:

- A developer or designer sees a background effect worth studying.
- They open the extension from the browser toolbar.
- They scan the current page and review detected backgrounds.
- They save useful results into a local collection.
- They return later, when they have focused time, to study, learn from, or apply those backgrounds.

The extension reads computed CSS background information from the current page and extracts:

- `background`
- `background-blend-mode`
- `filter`
- `transform`

It then canonicalizes the result and stores saved items locally in the browser. The extension does not require the user to open DevTools, does not inject itself automatically on all pages, and does not upload captured page data to a remote server.

UPDATE:
- Variables within animated backgrounds will now resolve to their initial values, rather than their current values.

🎨 CAPTURE THE MOTION: THE ULTIMATE CSS BACKGROUND EXTRACTOR

Stop digging through DevTools. Start capturing inspiration.

Ever spotted a stunning background effect—a flowing gradient, a subtle shimmer, or a complex mesh—but dreaded hunting through hundreds of lines of code to find it? Get CSS Background is a precision tool for developers and designers that lets you "pick" any background style as easily as using a color dropper.

With our latest update, we don’t just capture colors; we capture the MOTION. From complex multi-layer gradients to dynamic @keyframes animations, we turn "How did they do that?" into "Now I have that."

✨ WHY GET CSS BACKGROUND?

🚀 Full Animation Support: High-fidelity capture of @keyframes and animation properties. If it moves, you can save it.

🚀 Zero-DevTools Workflow: Stay in your creative flow. Scan and extract styles directly from the page without opening the inspector.

🚀 One-Click Collection: Save your favorite backgrounds to a local library. Study them, learn from them, or reuse them in your projects later.

🚀 Seamless Web Integration: Export your saved styles to cssbackground.net with one click to refine, preview, or share your discoveries.

🛠 KEY FEATURES

• Deep Extraction: Automatically identifies background, background-blend-mode, filter, transform, and animation sequences.
• Clean Code: Generates canonicalized, production-ready CSS snippets that work out of the box.
• Local Library: Built-in storage to keep your design inspiration organized and accessible offline.
• Lightweight & Fast: The extension only runs when you trigger it, ensuring zero impact on your browser’s performance.

🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY

- No Data Uploads: Your captured styles and browsing data stay 100% on your local machine.
- No Auto-Injection: We don't mess with your webpages unless you ask us to.
