In the developer's words
Take your high fidelity screens on a trip back in time by converting them into wireframes! Simply select a screen, adjust the settings to your liking, then convert away!

You may be looking to present a feature at a high-level, but don't want your audience to get hung up on visual details. Or perhaps you're working on enhancing an existing feature, and want to get a solid foundation for wireframing your ideas!
