Start a new capture
On your dashboard, paste the URL of any publicly accessible website into the new capture dialog. This is the fastest way to get value.
Pick a flow size (optional)
The default capture works for most sites. To go shallower or deeper, open the options and choose a flow size: Quick exploration, Standard flow, or Deep exploration. See Capture options.
Run the capture
Start the capture. BenchCanvas discovers pages, takes screenshots, and detects the navigation between them. You can turn on an email alert if you want to step away while it runs.
Explore your flow on the canvas
When the capture finishes, your screens appear connected inside a frame on the canvas. Pan, zoom, and click any screen to open its properties panel.
Analyze with AI
Open Flow chat to ask questions about the experience, or generate an AI insight report such as a Nielsen heuristic evaluation or an accessibility audit for any screen.
Share or export
Turn on a public share link so anyone can view the canvas without an account, or export the canvas to high-resolution PDF or PNG.
