At Mouseflow, we’re all about innovation. If there’s a highly requested feature, we work tirelessly to make it happen. Recently, many of our clients requested an option to download heatmaps into an offline image. Due to the intricacies of rendering heatmaps in a browser, this made it difficult to allow for offline downloads. How did we solve this issue?
We built a Google Chrome extension exclusive to Mouseflow.
Most users view heatmaps as a picture but, at Mouseflow, we’re taking it a step further. Our heatmaps dynamically render data that is stored in your browser. The data utilized in generating these heatmaps are selected based on your segment/filters (date range, device, browser/OS, etc). The data is then provided as an overlay in our heatmap window.
The new Mouseflow heatmap Chrome extension allows to convert Mouseflow heatmaps into images.
With the launch of the new Chrome extension, users can now download any heatmap they want from within the Mouseflow UI. Need to show your boss a printout of user activity on your site? This is the tool for you.
Downloading this extension is easy! You can download the plugin from the Chrome Web Store!
How to Download a Heatmap with Mouseflow Chrome Extension
After you download and install the extension, make sure that you give it the permission to read and change site data on all sites. That is required for it to function.
To download a heatmap with the Chrome extension installed:
- open the heatmap in Mouseflow
- click on the menu icon in the top right corner
- select “Download heatmap”
You’ll get a high-resolution heatmap of your choice in the PNG format. Mouseflow allows you to create 6 types of heatmaps: click, scroll, movement, attention, geo, and live. The following types can be downloaded:
- click heatmaps
- scroll heatmaps
- movement heatmaps
- attention heatmaps
