Docfai

Step-by-Step Guide Software

Turn what you do on screen into a numbered, visual guide anyone can follow.

Docfai is step-by-step guide software: it captures your screen while you work and helps you turn those captures into a clear, numbered how-to guide. Every step pairs a screenshot with a title and description, so readers see exactly what to click — and you export the finished guide to PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, or Markdown.

Why use dedicated step-by-step guide software?

Writing a step-by-step guide by hand means juggling a screenshot tool, an image editor, and a document editor — capturing, cropping, pasting, numbering, and formatting every single step. It is slow, and the result goes stale the moment the software changes.

Step-by-step guide software collapses that workflow into one. With Docfai, you perform the task once while capturing it — manual screenshots, hotkey capture, screen recording, or an uploaded video — and the step editor structures the captures into numbered steps you can title, describe, and reorder.

When the workflow changes, you re-capture the affected steps instead of rebuilding the whole document. And because processing is 100% local, you can document anything on your screen without privacy concerns.

How to create a step-by-step guide

1

Capture the workflow

Do the task once. Capture screenshots with a hotkey as you go, record the screen, or upload an existing video and extract the frames you need.

2

Edit the steps

Reorder steps, write titles and descriptions, and add bookmarks or extra media in the step editor. Apply a template and preview the result live.

3

Export the guide

Ship the guide as PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, or Markdown — or publish it to Confluence or SharePoint.

Everything you need to build great guides

Hotkey screenshot capture

Capture exactly the right moment with a keystroke while you work — no interruption to the task you are documenting.

Video-to-steps extraction

Already have a recording? Upload it and extract screenshots from the video to build your guide.

Numbered, visual steps

Each step combines a screenshot with a title and description — the format readers follow fastest.

Templates and live preview

Built-in layouts keep guides consistent; the live preview shows the final document as you edit.

Five document formats plus publishing

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

Local-only processing

Your captures never leave your device — document internal and sensitive workflows with confidence.
