Stepvideo
Stepvideo is a web-based SaaS tool that converts a single screen recording into a polished how-to video, a step-by-step written guide, and a shareable page. It is designed for users who record workflows performed in the Chrome browser. After the user records a workflow with the Chrome extension, Stepvideo's AI engine analyzes the actions — clicks, scrolls, keystrokes, and screen transitions — to automatically segment the recording into meaningful steps. It then applies cinematic zoom effects to clicked areas, removes idle time and mistakes, and adds a narrated voiceover with word-by-word captions. This process turns a raw take into a finished tutorial without requiring a traditional timeline-based video editor. In addition to the edited video, Stepvideo generates a numbered written walkthrough that includes screenshots pulled directly from the recording, enabling easy reuse in documentation portals, knowledge bases, or printed guides. Each render is also published to a share page that can be public or unlisted, providing a simple way to distribute the video to end users. Stepvideo is marketed to teams and enterprises for creating product tutorials, onboarding content, customer support videos, and internal workflow documentation. The product is available as a Chrome extension with a cloud processing backend, and offers a free tier that includes a limited number of AI-generated video minutes each month, with paid plans for higher usage. It counts major companies such as ServiceNow, YouTube, Figma, Zapier, and Twilio among its referenced trust logos, highlighting its adoption in software and business contexts.

Problem solved
Traditionally, creating a polished how-to video from a screen recording requires manual editing to cut mistakes, remove dead space, zoom into relevant areas, and add narration and captions. Stepvideo automates these steps by using AI to analyze the recording, detect user actions, and then produce a finished tutorial video along with a written guide. This saves content creators, support teams, and product managers hours of video editing per project.
