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.

Product Demo

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.

Annotations Example

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"
/>

Use clear language: Write as if you’re talking to a friend
