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:

1. Click the “Publish” button
2. Get your shareable link
3. 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"
/>

Best Practices

Here are some tips to make your demos even better:

• Keep it short: 5-7 steps is ideal
• Focus on value: Show the most important features first
• Use clear language: Write as if you’re talking to a friend
• Test it: Share with colleagues before going live
