How do you convert screenshots into Replicas?
Step |
Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the Screen Library for your Learning Program. Use the Hamburger Menu, or use Quick Links on the Learning Program Overview screen. |
| 2 | Choose the Select button at the top right of the toolbar. The toolbar switches to an Actions menu and a Cancel link. |
| 3 | Select one or more screenshots. Hold Ctrl and select to add more screenshots to the selection. Each selected screen shows a green outline. To see only screenshots, set Filter by Type to Screenshot.

 Convert in the Actions menu. The count shows how many selected screens each action applies to. |
| 5 | The Screen Conversion screen opens with your screenshots in a side panel.

| 6 | Select Convert for the displayed screenshot, or Convert All to convert every screenshot in the side panel. |
What do the AI Detect settings do?
Setting |
What it does |
|---|---|
| Buttons | Detects the tappable controls in the screenshot and adds them as button elements, so you spend less time drawing buttons by hand. |
| Text | Extracts the text in the screenshot into editable text elements, so you can correct, translate, or replace it in Replica Maker. |
Skyllful also applies smart font matching automatically, so replicated text looks like the text in the source application.
How do you confirm the conversion?
- After a successful conversion, a set of editing tools appears alongside your screen Replica.
- In the Screen Library, the type badge in the lower corner of the card now shows Replica.
What are the best practices for converting screenshots?
- Crop screens before you convert them so your Replicas stay consistent.
- Open related screens at the same time to apply uniform cropping.
- Test the AI Detect settings on a few screens before you apply them to all screens.
- If AI detection misreads buttons or text, adjust the elements manually in Replica Maker.
- Keep workflows linear for clear, structured training.
- Preview Lessons regularly to confirm functionality and design consistency.
- You can bulk-convert by selecting several screens at once. After you select Convert All, the conversions run in the background.
How do you troubleshoot conversion problems?
Issue |
Quick fix |
|---|---|
| You cannot select screenshots to convert | Select the Select button in the top toolbar before you choose your screenshots. |
| Convert All does not seem to finish right away | Conversions run in the background after you select Convert All. Wait for them to complete. |
| Text was missed or misread on the Replica | Correct it in Replica Maker with the Text Extract and Text Add tools. For a low-resolution or compressed screenshot held for data review, Enhanced Text Detection in the Data Review Tool can find text that standard detection misses. |
