# Add screens manually

> Add a single page, upload images, paste from your clipboard, or drag and drop your own screenshots.

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

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Add a URL" icon="link">
    Provide a single page URL and BenchCanvas captures just that screen and adds it to the canvas.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Upload an image" icon="upload">
    Upload a screenshot from your computer as a new screen.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Paste from clipboard" icon="clipboard">
    Copy an image anywhere, then paste it directly onto the canvas.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Drag and drop" icon="hand-pointer">
    Drag image files straight onto the canvas or into a frame.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## 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:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your image ready">
    Copy an image to your clipboard, or have the file ready on your computer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add it to the canvas">
    Paste directly onto the canvas, drag and drop the file, or use the upload option.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Place and connect">
    Position the new screen where you want it and draw [connections](/canvas/connections) to neighboring screens.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Dropping an image inside a [frame](/canvas/flows-and-frames) adds it to that flow. Dropping it on the open canvas creates a standalone screen.
</Tip>

Have a multi-page PDF instead of individual images? Use [Import from a PDF](/capture/pdf-to-flow) to turn every page into a screen in one step.

## 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.

  Group manually added screens into frames to keep flows tidy.
