Captures are the fastest way to build a flow, but you can also add screens by hand. This is useful for filling gaps, bringing in your own designs, or building a canvas from scratch.

Ways to add a screen

Add a URL

Provide a single page URL and BenchCanvas captures just that screen and adds it to the canvas.

Upload an image

Upload a screenshot from your computer as a new screen.

Paste from clipboard

Copy an image anywhere, then paste it directly onto the canvas.

Drag and drop

Drag image files straight onto the canvas or into a frame.

Add a single URL

Use this to capture one specific page without running a full crawl. BenchCanvas scrapes the page, takes a screenshot, and adds it as a screen you can connect to the rest of your flow.

Bring your own screenshots

Already have screenshots from another tool, a design file, or a manual capture? Drop them in:
1

Get your image ready

Copy an image to your clipboard, or have the file ready on your computer.
2

Add it to the canvas

Paste directly onto the canvas, drag and drop the file, or use the upload option.
3

Place and connect

Position the new screen where you want it and draw connections to neighboring screens.
Dropping an image inside a frame adds it to that flow. Dropping it on the open canvas creates a standalone screen.

Start from an empty canvas

You do not have to capture anything to begin. Create a project with an empty canvas and build a flow entirely from uploaded images and manual connections.

Organize your screens

Group manually added screens into frames to keep flows tidy.
