Free AI cloners and screenshot-to-code tools will rebuild an approximation from a picture, but they infer structure, fonts, and spacing from pixels - so the result drifts and needs cleanup. For a live site, extracting the real rendered code is free and more accurate than letting AI guess.

Copying proprietary assets (logos, copy, images, brand identity) wholesale and passing them off as your own is not. Treat a clone as a starting point you customize, respect the site's terms of service and copyright, and never republish someone else's content verbatim.",{"question":845,"answer":846},"What's the difference between cloning a website and downloading it?","A website downloader saves the raw files - HTML, CSS, JS, assets - as a static mirror, which is bulky, often broken, and rarely reusable. Cloning the design means extracting the specific parts you want as clean, editable code. If your goal is to reuse a hero, a navbar, or a pricing section in your own build, you want clean extraction, not a full download.",{"question":848,"answer":849},"Why does my AI website clone look wrong?","Because it's working from a screenshot, not the real page.
