Docfai

Documentation Software for Visual Step-by-Step Guides

Stop rebuilding documentation by hand. Capture your screen once and export a polished, ready-to-share guide.

Docfai is documentation software built around your screen. Instead of pasting screenshots into a word processor and formatting them manually, you capture a workflow — with screenshots, hotkeys, or a screen recording — and Docfai helps you organize it into clean, numbered documentation you can export to PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, Markdown, Confluence, or SharePoint.

What to look for in documentation software

Most documentation starts the same way: someone performs a task, captures screenshots, and then spends far longer formatting a document than doing the actual work. Good documentation software removes that second half — it captures the workflow and produces a structured document, so the writing effort goes into the words that matter, not the layout.

Docfai focuses on visual, step-based documentation: how-to guides, SOPs, work instructions, onboarding material, and internal runbooks. Every step pairs a screenshot with a title and description, so readers see exactly what the screen looks like at each point.

Because Docfai is a desktop application with 100% local processing, it documents any Windows application — not just browser tools — and nothing you capture is uploaded anywhere. That makes it suitable for documenting internal systems, customer data workflows, and anything else you would not want in a third-party cloud.

How Docfai creates documentation

1

Capture your screen

Take screenshots as you work, capture with a hotkey, record your screen, or upload an existing video and extract frames from it.

2

Organize into steps

The step editor turns captures into numbered steps. Add titles, descriptions, bookmarks, and media, and apply a template with live preview.

3

Export anywhere

Export to PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, or Markdown — or publish straight to Confluence or SharePoint.

Documentation Software: common questions

What is the best documentation software for step-by-step guides?

Does Docfai work for documenting desktop applications?

Yes. Docfai is a Windows desktop app that captures anything on your screen — desktop software, internal tools, and legacy systems, not just browser tabs.

Is my data uploaded to the cloud?

No. Docfai processes everything locally on your device. Screenshots, recordings, and exported documents never leave your computer.

How much does Docfai documentation software cost?

Docfai costs €20/month or €200/year for individuals, with a team plan at €160/month for 10 seats. There is a 7-day free trial with no credit card required.
