Tutorials & standard operating procedures (SOPs)

Turn screenshots into tutorials and SOPs

Paste a few screenshots, describe the task, and in about two minutes you have an animated step-by-step tutorial and a standard operating procedure your team can follow the same way every time. A moving cursor, zoom and hint bubbles show each step. Share it by link, QR code, PDF or Word. Viewers see a clean mock-up of your app – never your real data.

One process, two formats: tutorial and SOP

Every process you document becomes both – use the form your audience needs.

  • Tutorial

    An animated walkthrough with a moving cursor, zoom and hints. Best for learning a task for the first time – onboarding, new tools, customer help.

  • SOP – standard operating procedure

    The same steps as a numbered procedure to print and file. Export to PDF or Word for the binder and your quality documentation, put a QR code at the workstation, and export a new version whenever the process changes.

How it works

Three steps from screenshots to a tutorial and SOP. No browser extension, no screen recording.

  1. Paste your screenshots

    Up to 8 screenshots of any app or device – web, desktop, mobile, even a photo of a terminal. Paste, drop or pick files.

  2. Describe the process

    Say who the learner is, where the process starts and what the result looks like. The AI redraws the screens as mock-ups and writes the steps: clicks, typing, hints.

  3. Edit, publish, share

    Fix any step by hand or ask the AI for changes. Publish by link or QR code, export to PDF or Word – and update it any time.

Why teams pick Sopulo

  • Nothing to install

    No extension, no recorder, no desktop agent. If you can take a screenshot, you can document it – including legacy and desktop apps that capture tools cannot see.

  • Privacy by design

    The AI redraws every screen as an HTML mock-up. Viewers of a published tutorial only ever see the mock-up; your original screenshots stay private to you. No blurring, no personal data on screen.

  • One source, four formats

    The same tutorial plays online with an animated cursor, opens from a QR code on a machine or a desk, and exports to PDF and Word as a ready-to-file SOP.

  • A living document

    Say “split step 3 into two” and the AI rewrites only that. Viewers can pin comments to the exact moment they got stuck.

Made for the people who explain the same thing every week

  • Onboarding & HR

    “How do I book leave in the HR system?” Answer it once, print the QR code in the kitchen, and add captions in your team’s languages.

  • IT helpdesk

    Turn the ten most repeated tickets into walkthroughs employees can follow on their own – with no personal data on the screens.

  • Software implementers & consultants

    Hand clients a documented process instead of a day of screenshots. Mock-ups keep client data out of the deliverable; comments collect their feedback in place.

  • SaaS support & help centers

    A tutorial per feature, regenerated when the UI changes. Link it from your help center or inside the app.

  • Trainers & course authors

    Animated walkthroughs for the course, Word export for the handout, QR code on the slide.

  • Operations & quality

    Standard operating procedures for office and production processes: one version for everyone, PDF or Word for the quality folder, a QR code at the workstation.

Sopulo vs. screen-capture tools

Capture extensions record your clicks – and everything else on your screen.

What happens to your screenshots

  • Stored privately under your account – only you can open them.
  • Used by the AI to draw the mock-ups and write the steps.
  • Never shown to viewers – a published tutorial contains mock-ups, not screenshots.
  • Delete a tutorial and its screenshots go with it.

Start free, pay when the AI earns it

Every account opens with 10 free AI calls – one call is one generation or one revision. Writing, editing, publishing, QR codes and exports cost nothing, and the people you share with never pay. When the ten are gone, a plan keeps the AI going.

Questions

What is the difference between a tutorial and an SOP?

It is the same content in two forms. The tutorial plays online with an animated cursor; the SOP (standard operating procedure) is the numbered version you export to PDF or Word and file. Edit the steps once and export a fresh SOP whenever the process changes.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Sopulo runs in the browser. You paste screenshots you took with any tool – Print Screen, Snipping Tool, your phone.

What if the mock-up isn’t accurate?

Ask the AI to fix that screen, edit the step by hand, or use the original screenshot as a picture screen. You can also build a tutorial entirely by hand.

Which apps does it work with?

Any. The AI works from screenshots, so web, desktop and mobile apps – and physical devices – all work the same way.

Who can see my tutorial?

Only you, until you publish it. A published tutorial opens for anyone with the link or QR code, no account needed. Unpublish it at any time.

Which languages are supported?

Captions can be generated in English, Polish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Czech and Dutch. The editor itself is in English.

Is it really free?

Yes – 10 AI calls on sign-up, no credit card. One call per AI generation or revision; after that Basic is $9 a month for 50 calls and Advanced $29 for 200. Writing, sharing and exporting stay free on every plan.
