# HTML capture

> Capture self-contained HTML demo steps with the Chrome extension.

Use HTML capture when the captured screen needs to stay sharp and editable. Each step becomes a self-contained HTML snapshot, so dense text, tables, and layouts stay crisp at different sizes.

HTML capture fits demos where an AI agent or editor needs to personalize captured text for a customer, prospect, segment, or use case.

## When to use HTML capture

* You are capturing dense dashboards, tables, settings pages, or document-like screens.
* You want crisp text at different zoom levels.
* You want captured content that agents can understand and customize.
* You care more about static screen fidelity than motion.

Start with screenshot capture if you mainly need a fast visual walkthrough or if the flow depends on motion, scrolling, or animation.

## HTML capture options

Use **Block Videos** to replace videos with still images. This keeps captures smaller and makes static demos more predictable.

Use **Compress Images** to reduce image size inside the captured HTML. This makes larger demos easier to move and preview.

## Destination options

Choose **Inkly Platform** to upload the HTML demo into your workspace. Choose **Download ZIP** to save the demo locally and preview it with the CLI.

<Note>
  HTML capture is more specialized than screenshot capture. Use it when crisp or editable captured content is the reason for the demo.
