Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Create walkthrough guides that show your people how to get things done. Add the Guide Creator Chrome extension and start documenting your processes right away.

When you start capturing, Guide Creator grabs a screenshot each time you click. Once you're finished, your step-by-step guide documenting every step of your process is ready to edit and share.

CREATE BEAUTIFUL HOW-TO GUIDES The Guide Creator editor automatically labels your steps and lays out your screenshots. Crop the images and adjust the wording to suit your audience — whether that's teammates looking for a hand, customers that want to get things done, or prospects looking to find out more about how you can help them.

SHARE YOUR GUIDE AGAIN AND AGAIN Once you're happy with your guide, share a link to a webpage that can be accessed wherever your users are. No need to jump on a call and screenshare each time you need to share your knowledge.

If your guide is just for teammates, lock down access to keep things in-house. You have complete control over who can see your documentation.

The actual product looks to be OK, but then I noticed there is a 10 guide limit!! What is the point of that?

I think Guide Creator sounds like a really useful tool for creating how-to guides. The ability to automatically capture screenshots as you navigate the web seems like it would save a lot of time and effort compared to manually taking and organizing screenshots. Additionally, being able to easily edit and share the resulting step-by-step guide is a great feature. Overall, it seems like Guide Creator could be a valuable asset for anyone who needs to create instructional materials.
