Frequently asked questions

Can I use an existing website screenshot?
Yes. Add a screenshot of the page view you want to show. This workflow uses the supplied image as its screen content.
Can I use an app or dashboard screenshot?
Yes. Provide the completed interface image and a laptop reference. Review small text, charts and icons carefully in the generated result.
How will my screenshot fit the laptop screen?
Describe whether you want the whole image visible or a particular area emphasized. Use a screenshot with suitable proportions and check the result for unwanted cropping.
Can I paste a website URL instead of a screenshot?
Provide a screenshot of the page you want to show. This workflow uses an existing image of the website or app as the screen content.
Will the result be an interactive website or prototype?

Can I create a video of the laptop screen?
No. The output is a still image. Use an appropriate video workflow if your presentation needs motion or a recorded interaction.
