Record the process and talk it through
Install the Chrome extension, record a tab, a window or your whole screen, and explain each step out loud as you do it, the way you would train a new colleague.
Free video to SOP generator
Turn a screen recording into an SOP
Record the process once and talk it through. Vibrantsnap writes the SOP for you: numbered steps, a screenshot for each one, ready to copy into your docs or download as a PDF.

The result
One recording, one SOP
Each step gets a title, a short instruction and a screenshot. The video and the guide live in the same project.
How it works
From recording to SOP in four steps
2
Vibrantsnap writes the SOP
From your narration it writes a title and numbered steps, each with a short instruction and a screenshot framed on the click the step names. It uses no AI credits.
3
Edit the steps
Rewrite a title, drag steps into a new order, add or delete one, or pick another frame for a screenshot. Write the SOP in any of 10 languages, even one you did not narrate in.
4
Copy it, download it or share it
Copy the SOP into Google Docs, Notion or Confluence, download it as a PDF, or share a link that shows the video with the steps under it.
Features
Everything you need
What you get from one narrated recording.
Written from what you say
The steps come from your narration, so the SOP keeps what a click alone can't show: which field to check, and what to do when the total looks wrong.
Screenshots framed on your clicks
Recorded with the Chrome extension in a web page, each step gets a close-up centered on the control you clicked, so the labels stay readable.
Every step stays editable
Rewrite titles and descriptions in place, drag steps into a new order, add a step, delete one, or reframe a screenshot.
Copy, PDF or link
Copy as HTML and Markdown to paste into Google Docs, Notion or Confluence, download a PDF, or share a link. Free on every plan.
In your customers' language
Narrate in the language that comes naturally and get the SOP in any of 10 languages.
A narrated video from the same take
The same recording becomes a tutorial video: your narration rewritten, read in a studio voice, with zooms and captions. Preview it for free.
Use cases
SOPs people actually open
For the procedures you explain again and again, to customers, to clients or to the next hire.
Customer onboarding
Show a new customer how to set up their account, then send the SOP and the video in the same link.
Help-center how-tos
Turn the answer to a recurring ticket into a written procedure your support team can link to.
Internal procedures
Record how you close the month, run payroll or publish a release, and hand the steps to the next person.
Client instructions
A services firm can show every client how to upload documents to its portal, once, instead of explaining it on each call.
Limits
What it doesn't do
Better to know before you record than after.
It needs your voice
A silent recording gives it nothing to write from. For guides captured from clicks alone, Scribe, Tango or Dubble fit better.
One recording, up to 25 minutes
The SOP and the AI voiceover take recordings up to 25 minutes, and a project holds one video.
Imported videos get full-frame screenshots
Click positions come from the Chrome extension. Without them, the steps are written from the narration alone and each screenshot shows the whole frame.
It writes the SOP, it doesn't manage it
Approvals, assignments and sign-off live in SOP software. Download the PDF and import it there.
Pricing
Free to write, paid to export the video
The SOP is free on every plan and uses no AI credits. Recording, editing and previewing the video are free too, with 3 AI credits a month (1 AI credit = 1 AI voiceover). A free share link carries a watermark. Exporting the video as an MP4 starts on Pro, at $49/month, or $40/month billed yearly.

Questions about turning a video into an SOP
What it needs, what it costs and what you can do with the result.
What is a video SOP?
A standard operating procedure built from a recording of someone doing the task. Vibrantsnap gives you both forms from one take: a written SOP with numbered steps and screenshots, and a narrated video of the same procedure.
How do I turn a video into an SOP?
Record the process with the Vibrantsnap Chrome extension while you explain each step, or import a video you already have. Open the Guide view: the steps are written from your narration, each with a screenshot. Then edit them, copy the SOP into your docs or download the PDF.
Is the SOP generator free?
Yes. The step-by-step guide is free on every plan, the Free plan included, and uses no AI credits. You need a free account and, to record, the Chrome extension. Exporting the video as an MP4 is what needs a paid plan.
Do I have to narrate?
Yes. The steps are written from what you say, so a recording without speech can't be turned into an SOP. If you would rather click through a process without talking, a click-capture tool such as Scribe, Tango or Dubble is a better fit.
Can I use a video I already have?
Yes, if it has narration. Import an MP4, MOV or WebM file of up to 500 MB and 25 minutes. On an imported video, each screenshot shows the whole frame, because the click positions come from the Chrome extension.
What formats can I export the SOP in?
Copy it as HTML and Markdown, which pastes into Google Docs, Notion or Confluence with its screenshots, or download it as a PDF. There is no Word or PowerPoint file.
How is this different from an AI SOP generator that works from a prompt?
A generator that starts from a one-line prompt writes plausible steps for a task it has never seen. Vibrantsnap writes the steps from a recording of you doing the task in your own tool, with your screens as the screenshots, so the labels, the order and the checks are the real ones.
Does it work with desktop software?
You can record a window or the whole screen, and the SOP is written from your narration. Screenshots are framed on your clicks in web pages recorded with the Chrome extension; on desktop software they show the whole frame.
Can I share the SOP with a link?
Yes. A share link shows the video with the steps under it, and you choose in the Share dialog whether the guide appears. On the Free plan, the link carries a watermark.
