Screenshot-to-block workflow

SurgeWP can use screenshots as a reference to infer layout and content structure.

What screenshots are good for

  • Capturing the overall layout pattern (hero, grid, pricing table, testimonial slider)
  • Identifying repeated elements (cards, rows, tabs)
  • Determining which parts should become fields (headings, CTAs, icons, labels)

What screenshots are not

They’re not a guarantee of pixel-perfect recreation. SurgeWP treats screenshots as:

  • A reference for structure
  • A hint for hierarchy
  • A suggestion for layout

Best practices for screenshots

To get better results:

  • Crop to the relevant section
  • Include clear examples of repeated items
  • Use high-resolution screenshots where possible
  • Avoid screenshots full of animations or complex overlapping UI
  • Include additional screenshots to show hover-states / active elements

Recommended approach

  1. Upload screenshot
  2. Prompt with structure + intent

Example

Use this screenshot as reference. Build an ACF block with a heading, intro, and a 6-item feature grid. Each feature has icon, title, and description. Ensure all elements are editable with ACF fields.

This hybrid approach gives the best outcomes.
