Extract CSS Pseudo-Classes
Extract CSS pseudo-classes such as :hover, :focus-visible, :has(), and :nth-child() from pasted stylesheets without rendering, fetching, or uploading code.
0 / 30,000 characters. No upload, storage, or account required.
CSS pseudo-class extraction workflows
Use this extractor when pasted styles need a browser-local inventory of interaction, structural, state, and selector pseudo-class usage before cleanup or QA.
Audit interactive states
Pair pseudo-classes with Extract CSS Pseudo-Elements, Extract CSS Overflow & Interaction Values, and Extract CSS Selectors.
Review modern selectors
Use Extract CSS Attribute Selectors, Extract CSS Supports Rules, and CSS Formatter while documenting selector patterns.
Clean copied output
Send extracted rows to Remove Duplicate Lines, Sort Lines, or Normalize Whitespace.
What this tool does
Extract CSS Pseudo-Classes scans pasted CSS selectors as text, lists pseudo-class usage with source lines, removes duplicate rows, and runs locally in your browser.
Common use cases
Extract CSS pseudo-classes such as :hover, :focus-visible, :has(), :not(), and :nth-child() from pasted stylesheets, component CSS, framework output, or copied source before selector audits, interaction QA, accessibility review, migration, or documentation handoffs.
Use Extract CSS Pseudo-Classes when you are working with copied API payloads, logs, encoded values, config snippets, identifiers, or debugging data and need a quick browser-local check before pasting the result into docs, tickets, tests, or another developer tool.
How to use it
- Paste CSS selectors, style blocks, component styles, framework output, or copied stylesheet source.
- Choose whether duplicate pseudo-class rows should be removed and whether output should be normalized for comparison.
- Review extracted pseudo-classes with source lines, then copy the clean list for interaction, accessibility, selector, or migration audits.
Example workflow
Copy a small payload or encoded value from an API response, request URL, log line, or config file. Run the focused check here, confirm the output is readable, then continue with related developer data tools such as validation, formatting, decoding, timestamp conversion, or CSV/JSON conversion.
Privacy note
Extract CSS Pseudo-Classes runs locally in your browser. Your pasted CSS is not uploaded, rendered, fetched, crawled, executed, stored, or logged.
