I spent the last two weekends rebuilding my website extraction tool Zipit. Looking for feedback from people who scrape websites , collect design token & more .
I built ZipIt 2.0 to make it easier to inspect and extract data from modern websites without piecing together multiple tools.
Instead of only downloading HTML, it also extracts the design layer and assets.
What's new in 2.0
⚡ Faster extraction engine
📦 Download complete websites as ZIPs
🖼️ Export editable Figma layers
🎨 Extract colours, typography, spacing & design tokens
🧩 Inspect UI components
📤 Export clean HTML/CSS , Images ,Videos , Lottie Json etc
☁️ Save assets and design systems to the cloud with ZipIt Web
♿ SEO and accessibility audit Insights in one click
🤖 Generate AI prompts to recreate interfaces with any ai tools
The goal isn't to replace frameworks like Scrapy or Playwright. It's aimed at designers, frontend developers, and anyone who wants to quickly inspect or reverse engineer a website's UI and assets.
I've got nearly 400 users on the Chrome Web Store, but I'd really value feedback from people who scrape websites regularly.
Some questions:
What websites or edge cases usually break extraction tools?
What features would make this genuinely useful in your workflow?
Any obvious limitations you'd expect before trying it?
You can try it here: https://zipit.blintix.store
Happy to answer technical questions about how it works or discuss implementation details.

The harder test might be a dashboard that loads most of its interface after the page opens. I'd be curious whether the Figma export still comes through as something you can easily edit.

Great point. Dynamic dashboards are definitely the harder test. ZipIt already handles many SPA apps by waiting for content to render, but I'm still improving support for heavily lazy-loaded UIs. The goal is always an editable Figma file, not just a screenshot. If you have a dashboard in mind, I'm happy to test it.

That makes sense. The nastier case might be a dashboard that loads part of the page only after someone scrolls or clicks into it.
