A native overlay for enabling rapid editing of web content is described. In an example, a web page comprising a plurality of visual elements can be rendered as a rendered web page which can be displayed on a user interface. In an example, responsive to an interaction via the user interface, a representation of a portion of the rendered web page can be generated, wherein the representation is positioned within an overlay displayed above the rendered web page. The rendered web page can be displayed with the representation positioned within the overlay on the user interface.
