Same: cloning website UI to generate production-grade front-end code

General Introduction

Same is a simple and useful online tool that specializes in providing designers and developers with the ability to quickly replicate web interfaces. By typing in a URL, it generates a pixel-by-pixel replica of the target page, saving users the time of having to manually redraw it. The core of the site is "copying" - reproducing the exact layout, colors, and details. It's ideal for people who need to get quick inspiration or directly reuse the structure of a web page. The whole process takes only a few seconds and is very efficient. Currently, there is not much information about Same on the web, but its usefulness has attracted some attention. (Alternate domain name: Same.dev)

Function List

• Input URL to generate a design: Users input a web link and the tool will automatically generate a corresponding interface replica.
• Pixel-accurate replication: Keep the layout, colors and details of the target page consistent.
• Supports multiple file format output: you can export the copied design as image or code.
• Quick preview function: after generation, users can see the copying effect immediately.
• Simple and intuitive interface: the operation page is simple and you can get started without complicated settings.

Using Help

same.new is very easy to use, no need to install any software, you can operate it directly in your browser. Below are the detailed steps to use it and how to operate its functions so that you can get started quickly.

How to get started

1. Open your browser and type https://same.new/to go to the home page of the website.
2. In the center of the page, you will see an input box that says "Paste a URL here".
3. Find the link to the page you want to copy, for example https://example.com, copy it and paste it into the input box.
4. Click the "Copy" button next to the input box and wait a few seconds for the tool to automatically generate the design.

Main Functions

Generate a design

• After entering the URL, click the "Copy" button and the system will start to analyze the web page.
• After a few seconds, the page displays a preview window with a copied version of the page you typed.
• This copied version will retain the layout, font styles, and colors of the original web page to be consistent at the pixel level.

Preview and adjustment

• Once generated, the preview window will appear on the screen. You can scroll with your mouse to view the entire interface.
• If there is a small problem with copying the results (e.g., some dynamic elements were not captured), try refreshing the page or changing the URL and try again.
• There is currently no manual adjustment, but the replication accuracy is already high enough that additional modifications are usually not required.

Exporting the design

• Below the preview window, there are export options. You can choose to export as an image (e.g. PNG format) or code (e.g. HTML/CSS).
• Click on the "Download" button, select the format and the file will be automatically saved to your computer.
• If you choose image, it is suitable for designers to use it directly in design software; if you choose code, developers can use it to change or integrate it into their projects.

Featured Functions

Pixel-level replication

• The core feature of same.new is pixel-level replication. It will grab the static content of a web page, such as images, text and layout.
• For dynamic content (such as pop-ups or animations), it may not be possible to replicate it exactly, but the basic structure is preserved.
• When operating, make sure that the URL you enter is publicly accessible, otherwise you may be prompted with an error.

Quick Generation

• The entire process, from typing in the URL to seeing the results, usually takes less than 10 seconds.
• If the web page is complex, it may take a little longer, but the overall efficiency is high.
• It is recommended to use it when the network is stable to avoid loading interruptions affecting the copying effect.

caveat

• The site currently has no login function, all operations are anonymous, and generated designs are not automatically saved.
• If the input web page has an anti-crawl mechanism, copying may fail, so it is recommended to change the target URL.
• The default naming of exported files is random characters, which can be manually renamed for easy management.

With these few steps, you can easily copy any web interface with same.new. The whole process is intuitive and efficient, especially for people who need to get design materials quickly.

application scenario

1. Design Inspiration Collection
   When designers see a web layout they like, they can quickly copy it down with same.new and use it as an inspiration reference or adapt it directly.
2. Front-end development prototype
   When developers need to quickly build a web prototype, they can enter the target URL, export the code and adjust it to save time writing from scratch.
3. Learning Web Structures
   Students or novices who want to study the design logic of good web pages can use this tool to copy the interface and analyze the layout and style.

QA

1. Does same.new need to be registered?
   No need. It is an online tool that works by opening the URL directly without registration or login.
2. Can the copied interface be edited?
   No. The website only provides copy and export functions, editing needs to be done in other software.
3. Does it support copying dynamic web pages?
   Partially supported. Static content can be accurately replicated, but dynamic elements (such as videos or pop-ups) may not be fully captured.
