Question 5

Question 6

Why does the navbar appear in the middle of my exported wireframe?

Accepted Answer

The extension captures the page as it appears on screen. If a pinned navbar shows mid-page, it’s because you scrolled. Use the auto-scroll setting to ensure a clean HTML-to-SVG conversion of the full page.

Question 7

Can I save or redownload wireframes?

Accepted Answer

The extension doesn’t save files natively, but you can export wireframes as SVG files and redownload them from the "Export History" on the Wireframeit dashboard.

Question 8

Does Wireframeit work on dynamic websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the wireframe generator works on dynamic websites with heavy JavaScript. To ensure all elements are included, scroll through the page before activating the extension for a complete low-fidelity wireframe.

Question 9

Why are my settings reset when I close the browser?

Accepted Answer

Session-specific settings reset when the window or browser closes. Default settings, which allow for consistent wireframe generation, can be adjusted in the options page and persist across sessions.

Question 10

What if my wireframe looks wrong or broken?

Accepted Answer

If your wireframe export doesn’t look as expected, [contact support](https://wireframeit.com/contact) or join our Discord community. We’ll help resolve issues to ensure a smooth HTML-to-SVG workflow.

Question 11

Does it support non-Latin text in exports?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the extension can handle non-Latin text, though it currently converts it to Lorem Ipsum in the exported SVG. Improved support for non-Latin text is in development.

Question 12

Can I customize wireframes after exporting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, exported SVG files can be further customized using tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe Illustrator. This allows for detailed editing beyond the initial HTML-to-SVG wireframe conversion.
