What each one does

Extract Design

  • Extracts the color palette with exact color codes and the font families a site uses
  • Captures spacing, shadows, rounded corners, layouts, and common components
  • Scores the site's color contrast against accessibility guidelines
  • Creates a visual preview page plus Figma variables and theme files for developers
  • Compares the design of two websites side by side

Typography Scale

  • Generates a mathematical scale of text sizes from captions to large headings
  • Defines line heights and letter spacing for optimal readability
  • Provides font weight and pairing recommendations
  • Creates responsive rules so text scales gracefully on mobile devices
  • Documents usage guidelines for each text style
