Create Demos – Part 3: Capturing & Importing Content

Overview

Whether you’re working with live web apps or static assets, Walnut makes it easy to bring your content to life. You can import two core types of content with Walnut:


Capturing HTML & CSS Content

Walnut Chrome Extension 📸

The Walnut Chrome Extension is a Chrome-based browser extension that allows you to capture fully editable HTML & CSS-based web applications and other web content.

⚠️ Before Capturing:

Review Chrome Extension Capabilities & Best Practices to prevent sizing or layout issues and ensure clean, pixel-perfect results every time.


What Can I Capture?

  • Live web applications – production-level web apps built with HTML and CSS.

  • Staging and development environments – capture content hosted locally (e.g., localhost, Live Server) or in pre-production environments.

  • Standard web-based content – capture product pages, landing sites, internal tools, and other web-based content.

  • Figma designs – capture Figma to HTML exports with the Anima add-on. Learn more about the Anima Add-On here.


Key Features

  • Editable post-capture: All HTML/CSS elements are fully editable and endlessly customizable in the Walnut Editor.
  • Interactive flows: Use screen linking tools to simulate navigation (e.g., dropdown menus, multi-step flows)
  • Easy update: Use the extension's Update Screen feature to easily transfer guide steps, screen links, and edits when your platform changes.

Importing Non-HTML Content

Walnut makes it easy to enhance your product experiences with non-HTML content using the Screens Library, Playlists & Advanced Playlists and Digital Sales Rooms (DSRs).

You can import the following file types and media formats:

  • Static images (PNG, JPEG) and GIFs
  • .mp4, .mov, or screen recordings (e.g., chat, mobile app flows, etc.)
  • Video links from platforms like YouTube and Vimeo
  • PDFs and Google Docs

File Size Limit: Individual uploaded files must be under 100MB.


Screens Library 📱

Use the Screens Library to import static assets. Combine template screens with HTML captures—or use them on their own—to craft dynamic, immersive demo experiences.
