Convert Screenshots into Screen Replicas
Converting screenshots into screen Replicas lets Content Developers and Instructional Designers turn static images into editable, interactive screens in Skyllful Studio, and this article covers the conversion steps, how to confirm the conversion, and best practices.
Before you begin

| 5 | On the editing screen, adjust the yellow boundary and the AI settings as needed. |
| 6 | Select Convert for the selected screenshot, or Convert All to convert every screenshot in the side panel. |
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 Screen Type Badge on 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 in Replica Maker at the same time to apply uniform cropping.
- Test AI settings on a few screens before you apply them to all screens.
- If AI auto-detection misreads buttons or text, adjust the elements manually.
- Use consistent naming for interactive elements.
- 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.
