Getting Started with DemoFast
Getting Started with DemoFast
Creating interactive product demos has never been easier. In this guide, we’ll walk you through creating your first demo with DemoFast.
Why Interactive Demos Matter
Interactive demos help your users understand your product faster and more effectively than static screenshots or lengthy videos. They allow users to:
- Navigate at their own pace
- Focus on features that matter to them
- Get hands-on experience without signing up
Step 1: Upload Your Screenshots
Start by taking screenshots of your product. Use our Chrome extension or manually capture screens:
# Install the DemoFast Chrome Extension
# Available at chrome.google.com/webstore
Simply drag and drop your screenshots into the DemoFast editor. We support all common image formats.
Step 2: Add Annotations
Make your demo interactive with various annotation types:
Text Boxes
Add descriptive text to guide users:
const textBox = {
content: "Click here to get started",
position: { x: 100, y: 200 },
style: "primary"
};
Click Markers
Highlight clickable areas with animated markers that draw attention to important UI elements.
Zoom Areas
Let users zoom into specific parts of your screenshots to see details clearly.
Step 3: Publish and Share
Once you’re happy with your demo:
- Click the “Publish” button
- Get your shareable link
- Embed it on your website or share directly
// Example embed code
<iframe
src="https://demofast.com/view/your-demo-id"
width="100%"
height="600px"
frameborder="0"
/>

- Keep it short: 5-7 steps is ideal
