🐞 Fixes & Improvements
Account Linking Reliability
- Fixed an issue where linking your account from the browser extension would sometimes require logging in twice.
- The extension now correctly recognizes your session immediately after a successful sign-in or sign-up, ensuring a seamless connection.
✨ What's New
New Font Inspector Panel
Wireframeit now includes a dedicated Font Inspector, giving you clear visibility into the typography used on any webpage.
You can:
- View all loaded fonts, including fallback and unresolved fonts
- Copy font names instantly
- Search fonts directly on Google
- Look up fonts across multiple popular font providers
This makes identifying, sourcing, and documenting typography faster and more reliable.
More Powerful Media Inspector
The Media Inspector has been substantially improved to capture a wider range of visual assets with greater accuracy.
Expanded Media Detection
Wireframeit now detects additional media types, including:
- Video posters
- Metadata-based images (such as Open Graph images)
- SVGs with corrected size detection
Organized Media Categories
Extracted media is now grouped into clear categories for easier browsing:
- Metadata
- SVGs & Icons
- Backgrounds
- Images
As before, you can select and download multiple assets at once.
⚡ Improvements
Smoother Live Preview Experience
The preview mode has been refined to feel more fluid and responsive. Live changes made through the customization sidebar now update more seamlessly, making visual exploration and iteration noticeably smoother.
Consistent Panel UI Styling
The Blacklist and Preset panels have been visually updated to match the rest of Wireframeit’s interface, improving clarity and consistency across all inspector panels.
✨ What's New
A More Intelligent, Structured Color Inspector
The Color Inspector now provides a clearer and more organized view of the colors extracted from the page.
Grouped Color Palettes for Better Insight
Extracted colors are now automatically organized into:
- Core Palette - the most frequently used and foundational colors detected on the page.
- Additional Colors - all other colors identified in the site’s styles.
This makes it easier to understand the page’s visual structure, spot dominant colors, and identify inconsistencies.
Selectable Colors With Multi-Format Exporting
You can now select one or multiple colors and export them in a variety of developer-friendly formats:
- CSS Variables
- SCSS Variables
- Tailwind Config
- JSON
- CSV
- SVG Color Swatches
This expands the previous single-value copy behavior and provides a direct path from extracted colors into codebases, documentation, and style references.
Cleaner and More Accurate Color Extraction
- Semi-transparent colors are now converted to solid values when appropriate, reducing noise and producing a more meaningful palette.
- Color data includes richer metadata for improved grouping and consistent exporting.
⚡ Improvements
Less Disruptive “Rate Us” Prompt
The rating prompt now appears as a small toast instead of a modal dialog and is shown only after relevant usage thresholds-keeping your workflow uninterrupted.
🛠 Fixes
Full Editor Interaction With Panels Open
You can now continue interacting with the editor even when a panel is open. This resolves the previous behavior where the canvas became unresponsive until the panel was closed.
✨ What's New
Smarter & More Flexible Export Options
- Added a range of advanced conversion settings to give users more control over export behavior-especially for SVG outputs.
- Introduced new export targets that automatically apply the ideal conversion settings for each format.
- SVG exports now use HEX + fill-opacity instead of RGB/RGBA for improved compatibility with tools like Illustrator.
- Fixed an issue where inline SVGs were being converted to PNGs-they now correctly remain as SVGs.
Improved SVG Compatibility for Illustrator
- Fixed multiple issues that caused exported SVGs to appear incorrectly inside Illustrator.
- Updated internal SVG references to use
xlink:href, resolving missing images, shadows, and other visual elements.
⚡ Improvements
Cleaner, More Powerful Editor Panels
- Panels in the editor can now be opened simultaneously, with the active one automatically stacking on top.
- The former Blacklist and Color Inspector dialogs are now redesigned as panels for a more seamless workflow.
Unified Conversion History
- The old Conversion History dialog has been removed.
- History is now fully integrated into the Conversion popover for quicker access and a more consistent experience.
🧩 Under the Hood
These updates simplify the export pipeline, improve compatibility with third-party design tools, and lay the foundation for future export formats.
✨ What's New
- New Extension Popup
- Clicking the Wireframeit icon now opens a popup instead of launching the full editor.
- The popup includes:
- A Quick Convert action to instantly convert the current page without opening the editor.
- Customization Settings to adjust conversion preferences.
- A Conversion History tab to preview or download recent conversions.
- This new flow is faster and helps avoid compatibility issues with websites that restrict iframe loading.
⚡ Improvements
- Streamlined conversion process - no need to open the full editor for quick actions.
- Added direct access to Sign In / Sign Out and Open Editor from the popup for convenience.
🧩 Under the Hood
These changes lay the groundwork for faster feature updates and improved compatibility with more websites in future releases.

⚙️ Under the Hood
We’ve made small stability adjustments to ensure more predictable and reliable rendering when using the wireframe preset.
✨ What's New

-
Improved Export Handling

🧩 Under the Hood

General Updates
From 'Exports' to 'Conversions'
We've updated our terminology to better reflect what you're doing in the app: converting live websites into editable designs. You'll now see terms like 'Convert' and 'Conversion History' throughout the app.
🎉 PNG & JPG Conversions Now Available for All Users
We're excited to announce that free users can now convert designs to high-quality PNG and JPG formats. To support this, the Conversion History dialog is also now available to everyone.
Note: Conversions for free users will include a wireframeit watermark.
New Conversion Status Dialog
When you start a conversion, you'll now see a helpful dialog that tracks its progress and provides the download link once it's complete.
Smoother Artboard Resizing
We've overhauled the artboard resizing logic. It's now significantly smoother and more responsive. To resize, simply hover over the edge of your artboard until the resize cursor appears.
UI & Experience Clean-up
- The ability to toggle image visibility in the sidebar customization options is now available for all users.
- To tidy up the editor, we've relocated the 'Rate Us' link to the settings dropdown and removed the redundant convert button from the customization sidebar.
Figma Plugin Improvements
Our Figma plugin has received a major upgrade, focusing on more accurate and flexible conversions.
Enhanced Text Style Support
We now convert more CSS text properties for higher fidelity designs, including text-case, text-decoration, and letter-spacing.
Improved Media Placeholders
We've changed how media placeholders are imported into Figma. They are now cleaner, single-layer elements, which also paves the way for us to support real image imports in the future.
Text ID Support
Text IDs are now correctly imported and grouped at the top of your Figma frame, allowing you to easily hide or delete them.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a critical bug that could cause frames to import into Figma with a height of 0.
- Corrected an issue where text was not always vertically centered within its bounding box.
- Resolved a problem where text that was visually clipped on a website would sometimes appear in its entirety in Figma. Text now correctly respects its parent container's boundaries.
✨ New Features - Presets Are Here!
🔧 Presets System
Quickly switch between different editor configurations with ease!
- Preset Manager: Create, edit, clone, and preview your own presets.
- Live Preview: See how a preset affects your artboard before applying it.

- Default Presets: Includes two built-in presets — Full Design and Wireframe.

🛠️ Improvements

Wireframeit now processes elements inside shadow roots, meaning you'll get more complete wireframes from modern websites. - Improved Text ID Display
Text IDs are now displayed more neatly and consistently, especially inside nested elements. It's easier to read and looks way better! - Visual Loading Feedback
We've added a subtle loading indicator while the editor processes data, so you know when things are happening in the background.

Fixed an issue where text was overlapping with icons. Everything should now look as expected. - Editor Now Loads on More Sites
Fixed issues where the editor wouldn’t launch properly on certain pages. It’s now much more consistent. - More Accurate Text Replacement
