Stepsy is a browser‑based documentation and training tool that captures screenshots and generates step‑by‑step guides automatically while you perform actions. Each click creates both an image and a text description, allowing users to rapidly produce SOPs, onboarding manuals, workflows, and client‑facing instructions. It supports editing screenshots, masking predefined sensitive data, merging duplicate steps, and exporting guides as Google Docs, PDF, Word files, static HTML, ZIP archives, or direct cloud‑based formats. The extension deploys easily without elevated permissions and works for internal training, customer support, and process documentation across various teams.
