DOM Selector Copy EN

DOM Selector Copy is a cutting-edge browser extension crafted to empower users with advanced web extraction functionality through the use of CSS selectors. Tailored for web developers, designers, content creators, and anyone needing to quickly extract and copy text from web pages, DOM Selector Copy streamlines the process of querying, previewing, and extracting matched elements directly within your browser. Whether you're auditing content, gathering structured data, or analyzing webpage components, this tool leverages the power of querySelectorAll and a dynamic live preview system to deliver precision and ease.

Once installed, the extension integrates seamlessly into your browser, providing a user-friendly interface that includes a CSS selector input field, live preview toggle, element picking mode, and one-click query and copy buttons. A helpful built-in panel offers common CSS selector examples, catering to beginners or serving as a refresher for experienced users. Real-time feedback shows the total count of matched elements, and those elements are visually highlighted on the page, ensuring you always know precisely what your selector targets before you extract any data.

DOM Selector Copy supports both manual selector input and interactive element picking. By clicking the “Pick Element” button, you can select any element on the webpage, after which its unique selector is automatically populated into the input field. This feature is invaluable when working with complex or deeply nested pages, guaranteeing selector accuracy. The live preview mode helps verify selections by outlining all matched elements with customizable highlights. With one simple click, you can extract and copy all text content from matched elements, ready to be pasted into documents, spreadsheets, or code editors. Importantly, all operations occur entirely within your browser, with no external communication or cloud processing involved, safeguarding your data privacy.

Perfect for use cases spanning content scraping, automated testing preparation, UI audits, and rapid copying of visible web text, DOM Selector Copy unlocks the full potential of CSS selectors for anyone handling web content. Designed for speed, accuracy, and minimal disruption, it features persistent store of your last-used selectors, easy access through side panels or popups, and instantaneous visual and textual feedback that keeps your workflow seamless.
