Key Points

  • WebVR introduces a dedicated benchmark to evaluate multimodal LLMs' ability to recreate webpages from demonstration videos, capturing interaction flow, timing, and motion continuity.
  • The dataset contains 175 webpages created via a controlled synthesis pipeline to ensure varied, realistic demonstrations without overlap with existing pages.
  • It includes a fine-grained, human-aligned visual rubric for comprehensive evaluation, with automatic rubric agreement at 96% with human preferences.
  • Experiments across 19 models reveal gaps in reproducing fine-grained style and motion quality, signaling areas for improvement.
  • The authors release the dataset, evaluation toolkit, and baseline results to facilitate future research on video-to-webpage generation.

Abstract

Existing web-generation benchmarks rely on text prompts or static screenshots as input. However, videos naturally convey richer signals such as interaction flow, transition timing, and motion continuity, which are essential for faithful webpage recreation. Despite this potential, video-conditioned webpage generation remains largely unexplored, with no dedicated benchmark for this task. To fill this gap, we introduce WebVR, a benchmark that evaluates whether MLLMs can faithfully recreate webpages from demonstration videos. WebVR contains 175 webpages across diverse categories, all constructed through a controlled synthesis pipeline rather than web crawling, ensuring varied and realistic demonstrations without overlap with existing online pages. We also design a fine-grained, human-aligned visual rubric that evaluates the generated webpages across multiple dimensions. Experiments on 19 models reveal substantial gaps in recreating fine-grained style and motion quality, while the rubric-based automatic evaluation achieves 96% agreement with human preferences. We release the dataset, evaluation toolkit, and baseline results to support future research on video-to-webpage generation.
