Gradient & Shadow Extraction
Gradients, shadows, and depth,
captured from the visual layer.
ExtractVibe extracts linear gradients, radial gradients, conic gradients, box shadows, and text shadows from any website. It captures stop positions, color values, blur radii, and spread distances to reproduce the exact depth and texture of the original design.
01 / Gradient & Shadow Extraction
Linear and radial gradient extraction
Captures complete gradient definitions including direction and angle for linear gradients, shape and position for radial gradients, and all color stop positions. Each gradient is extracted with its full CSS syntax and also decomposed into structured data with individual stop colors and percentages, making it easy to recreate in CSS, Figma, or any design tool.
02 / Gradient & Shadow Extraction
Box shadow and elevation system
Extracts every box-shadow declaration on the page, including multi-layered shadows, inset shadows, and the color/blur/spread values of each layer. ExtractVibe groups shadows by visual similarity to reveal the site's elevation system, from subtle card shadows to prominent modal overlays. This gives you a complete depth scale to implement in your own design system.
03 / Gradient & Shadow Extraction
Glass morphism and blur detection
Identifies backdrop-filter and filter blur effects used for frosted glass, translucent overlays, and depth-of-field effects. ExtractVibe captures blur radius, saturation adjustments, and background opacity values that create modern glass morphism aesthetics. These effects are increasingly common in contemporary UI design and are often the hardest to reverse-engineer manually.
04 / Gradient & Shadow Extraction
Text shadow and glow effects
Captures text-shadow properties used for readability over images, decorative glow effects, and embossed text styles. ExtractVibe distinguishes between functional shadows (improving contrast against varied backgrounds) and decorative shadows (adding visual flair), so you understand both the aesthetic and accessibility purpose of each effect.
How it works
01
Full style audit
ExtractVibe scans every element's computed styles for gradient backgrounds, box-shadows, text-shadows, and filter/backdrop-filter properties across the entire page.
02
Decompose and structure
Complex CSS values are parsed into structured data: gradient stops become arrays, multi-layer shadows become ordered lists, and blur values are normalized into consistent units.
03
Organized depth system
Receive a complete elevation and texture system with all gradients, shadows, and effects organized by type and visual weight, ready for implementation.

}Frequently Asked Questions
Does ExtractVibe capture multi-stop gradients?+
Yes. ExtractVibe captures gradients with any number of color stops, including complex multi-stop gradients with explicit position percentages. Each stop is extracted with its exact color value (hex, RGB, or HSL) and position, preserving the precise color distribution of the original gradient.
How are multi-layer box shadows handled?+
Many modern designs use multiple box-shadow layers on a single element for realistic depth effects. ExtractVibe captures each shadow layer separately with its offset, blur, spread, and color values, then groups them as a single composite shadow token. This preserves the layered effect when you implement the shadow in your own design system.
Can ExtractVibe detect backdrop-filter effects?+
Yes. Backdrop-filter properties including blur, brightness, contrast, saturation, and grayscale are all detected and extracted. These effects are commonly used for frosted glass navigation bars, modal overlays, and floating card designs. ExtractVibe captures the complete filter chain along with the element's background opacity.
What about CSS conic gradients?+
Conic gradients are fully supported. ExtractVibe captures the from-angle, color stops, and position parameters. Conic gradients are less common than linear or radial gradients but appear in color wheels, pie-chart-like decorations, and some modern loading indicators.
Are CSS shadows different from Figma drop shadows?+
CSS box-shadow and Figma drop shadow use slightly different parameters, but ExtractVibe provides both the raw CSS values and decomposed numeric values (offset-x, offset-y, blur, spread, color) that map directly to Figma's shadow properties. This makes it straightforward to recreate the exact shadow in either environment.
