About Verbatim
Last updated 10 September 2026
Verbatim copies the design of a web page the way it was actually written. A free Chrome extension for people, and an MCP server for coding agents, both running on your own machine.
It is made by AuthorityMart Media, an independent software studio. There is no venture money behind it and no growth team; it is a tool built because the existing ones got the CSS wrong.
Why it exists
Every tool in this category reads getComputedStyle and prints the result. That is a snapshot of one element at one window size with the mouse wherever it happened to be, and it throws away the five things that decide what you actually see: which rules matched, which layer won, what the hover state does, what happens at another breakpoint, and which token the value came from.
So the output looks plausible and cannot be rebuilt. You paste it, it does not match, and you spend an afternoon finding out why.
Verbatim resolves the cascade instead, and then checks itself: it renders what it extracted in an isolated frame, compares every computed style against the live page, and tells you what disagrees. That check is the part we are proudest of, because it is the part that makes the rest trustworthy.
What we believe about the tools we make
- Exact beats convenient. A colour is never rounded to a nearby palette entry. If a value is arbitrary, it stays arbitrary.
- A tool should be able to prove its own claims. Hence the verification step, and hence a landing page whose demo reads its own stylesheet.
- Your machine is your machine. No account, no analytics, no telemetry, and no server of ours in the path. The only exception is an AI key you choose to add, and that goes to your provider, not to us.
- Free where it counts. The extension is free forever with no account. The server for coding agents is a single payment, not a subscription for something you use in bursts.
