Free Step-by-Step Guide Generator

Turn a rough description into numbered, easy-to-follow steps. Save it to add screenshots and click markers.

What is it?

A step-by-step guide breaks a task into small numbered actions, usually with a screenshot for each.

How to write a good one

  1. Start every step with a verb: Click, Type, Select, Open.
  2. One action per step. If you wrote “and”, split it.
  3. Show, don’t tell: a screenshot with the click marked beats a paragraph.
  4. Call out warnings separately so nobody misses them.
  5. 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 step-by-step 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.
