Features

Everything you need,
nothing you don't

StepSnap is deliberately minimal — no accounts, no cloud, no friction. Just record and export.

🖱️

Captures clicks, scrolls & typing

Every meaningful interaction is logged automatically. Click a button, scroll down, fill a form — StepSnap notices it all.

📸

Auto screenshots with click indicators

Each click triggers a JPEG screenshot with a visual ripple at the exact click position, so readers always know where to look.

📄

One-click PDF export

Hit "Generate PDF" and get a formatted, paginated document named after the recorded page — ready to share instantly.

🔗

Works across page navigations

Recording doesn't stop when you click a link. StepSnap re-injects automatically after navigation, so multi-page flows work seamlessly.

🔒

100% local & private

All data stays in your browser's local storage. No backend, no analytics, no network requests. Your screenshots never leave your machine.

⚡

Zero setup, no build step

Pure vanilla JS. Load it unpacked or install from the Chrome Web Store — no Node.js, no webpack, no configuration required.

How it works

From recording to PDF
in four easy steps

StepSnap gets out of your way so you can focus on what you're demonstrating, not on the tool itself.

Click Start Recording

Open the StepSnap popup from your Chrome toolbar and hit Start Recording. A red "REC" badge confirms it's active.

Use the webpage normally

Click buttons, fill forms, scroll the page. Every action is captured in the background — a subtle ripple marks each click.

Stop & review

When you're done, click Stop Recording. Give your guide a title — it pre-fills with the page name.

Download your PDF

Hit Generate PDF. A beautifully formatted, step-by-step guide with screenshots downloads to your machine instantly.

Privacy first

Your data never leaves your browser

StepSnap has no server, no account system, and makes zero network requests. Everything is stored in chrome.storage.local and discarded once you download your PDF.
