How the extension works

From a browser tab to a published how-to guide in three steps — no manual screenshots, no writing.

AI writes the step-by-step article, annotates the screenshots, blurs sensitive data, and you publish it anywhere.

Everything the extension does

All the WriteHow magic, right inside your browser.

Auto screenshots & annotations

Every step is captured and annotated automatically as you click — no snipping tool required.

AI writes the steps

Advanced speech-to-text and image analysis turn your recording into clear, formatted instructions.

Auto-blur sensitive data

Passwords, emails, cards, and tokens are automatically masked before anything is saved.

50+ languages

Translate any guide into 50+ languages and keep every version in sync.

Publish natively

Send guides straight to Zendesk, Notion, Confluence & GitBook — formatted for each.

Free to start

Install free and create your first guides at no cost. Upgrade only when you need more.

Private by design

The extension only captures while you have an active recording running and you've granted permission. It records the page you're documenting (clicks, navigation, screenshots, and — with permission — your microphone for narration). It does not track your browsing, take screenshots, or record audio outside of a recording you start. Before anything is saved, it can automatically drop password fields and mask sensitive data, and you can blur any area of a screenshot. See our Privacy Policy.

Chrome extension FAQ
