Capturing references
A capture is more than a screenshot — Zaai Dev pulls the palette, fonts, HTML, motion, and media alongside the pixels, so your agent gets real values, not a flat image.
Capture types
Pick a mode from the side panel. All four are available locally; pushing them needs a connected workspace.
- Viewport — the visible area of the current tab.
- Full page — the whole scrollable page, scroll-stitched into one image.
- Element — click Inspect, hover the page, and click an element to grab it with its outerHTML, computed CSS (~47 properties), and hover/focus/active state styles.
- Composite — in Inspect mode, Shift-click several elements then click normally to commit them as one capture.
- Region recording — click Record, draw a rectangle, and capture a short video of just that region (no audio). An
ultraquality preset records at 60fps.
What gets extracted
- Page level — dominant palette, fonts in use, section map (header / hero / nav / footer), full HTML, and a motion vocabulary (keyframes plus detected libraries like Framer Motion, GSAP, Lottie).
- Element level — outerHTML, computed CSS, transitions and animations, hover/focus/active diffs, and media (videos, images with
srcset, background images, carousels). - Structure — the Layer-Explorer teardown: a node map with depth, rects, selectors, and component hints.
3D renders & Layer Explorer
The 3D Layer Explorer and render views live in the workspace, not the extension — open a pushed capture in your project to explode it into layers and save a render back as a project capture.
Push to a project
With a project selected in the picker, click Send to project on a capture. It lands in your workspace in a couple of seconds; if you're offline it's queued and retried automatically when the network returns.
privacy
Form field values, hidden fields, and inline scripts are blanked before a capture is stored. Visible page text is kept (redaction can't tell PII from layout text), so avoid capturing pages showing sensitive information. See the FAQ.
