Free How-To Guide Generator
Write friendly how-to guides for customers or coworkers without staring at a blank page.
What is it?
A how-to guide teaches one specific outcome, written for someone doing it for the first time.
How to write a good one
- Start every step with a verb: Click, Type, Select, Open.
- One action per step. If you wrote “and”, split it.
- Show, don’t tell: a screenshot with the click marked beats a paragraph.
- Call out warnings separately so nobody misses them.
- Record it once, then update the single step that changes instead of rewriting the doc.
Want screenshots too? Howdock records them as you work. Compare it with Scribe and Tango.
FAQ
Is this how-to guide generator really free?
Yes. Generate as many outlines as you like (fair-use limits apply). Saving the guide and adding screenshots needs a free Howdock account.
Can I add screenshots?
Save the result, then record the task with the Howdock extension or desktop capture. Every click becomes a step with a screenshot.
Can I export it?
Copy it as Markdown right here, or save it and export to PDF, Markdown or HTML.
