The Situation

You are doing competitive research, learning from another developer's work, or trying to understand a design system you did not build. You need to see how something works — not just what it looks like. The problem: opening DevTools means navigating panels, switching tabs, and losing the context of what caught your eye in the first place.

Before
  • Right-click → Inspect for every element you want to check
  • Lose track of which element you were looking at after scrolling
  • Manually copy colors, fonts, and image URLs one by one
  • Switch between Computed, Styles, and Layout panels to piece together the full picture
After
  • Hover to inspect, click to lock — the element stays put while you explore
  • See computed styles, cascade, and box model in a single panel
  • Sample any color, list every font, extract all images — one click each
  • Stay in the flow. No panel-switching, no context loss
How InspectDev Helps

Hover-to-Inspect

Move your cursor over any element to see its box model, computed styles, and DOM position. Click to lock it in and keep exploring — the overlay stays put even when you scroll.

Cascade at a Glance

See every rule that applies to an element — inherited, overridden, and computed — grouped by source file. No more wondering why your 16px became 14px.

Asset Extraction

Pull every image, font, and color from a page in one click. No more right-click hunting through the network tab or copying values by hand.

Step by Step
  1. 1

    Open InspectDev and select CSS Inspector from the toolbar.

  2. 2

    Hover over the component you want to understand — the overlay shows its dimensions and computed styles instantly.

  3. 3

    Click to lock the element in place. Browse its styles in the side panel, grouped by source file and cascade order.

  4. 4

    Use Color Picker to sample any color on the page. Use Page Ruler to measure the spacing between elements.

  5. 5

    Run List All Fonts to see every typeface in use. Use Extract Images to pull any assets you need.

  6. 6

    You now have a complete picture: structure, styles, spacing, colors, fonts, and assets — without leaving the page.
