How can we help?

A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a step-by-step instruction document for a specific task or process. It keeps work consistent across people and shifts, cuts errors, and gives auditors something to check against quality and compliance standards. SOPs are common in manufacturing, healthcare, food production, logistics, and any operation where repeatable execution matters.

Word and Google Docs give you a blank page. You write every step, take your own screenshots, format the layout, then figure out where to store the file. SOPX starts from a video. AI pulls the steps, writes descriptions, and grabs screenshots for you. Your SOPs sit in organized workspaces with version control and permissions. Share any SOP with a link or QR code. When the process changes, update it once and every copy stays current.

Three ways. Record a process on video and AI generates the steps. Import a PDF and SOPX converts it into a structured SOP. Or write from scratch in the built-in editor. AI extracts steps, screenshots, and descriptions, so you only need to review and tweak.

SOPs cut training time and stop knowledge from walking out the door when senior people leave. They keep work consistent across shifts and locations. They give you the audit trail you need for ISO, HACCP, or GMP. Without current SOPs, teams fall back on tribal knowledge, which leads to errors and slow onboarding.

After the 14-day trial, you can upgrade to Pro to keep creating SOPs, or pause your account if you're not ready yet. Your existing SOPs, workspace, team members, and settings stay intact either way. Nothing is deleted. When you come back, pick up exactly where you left off.

Videos are processed securely and stored encrypted. Access is scoped per workspace, so only invited team members see SOPs and source videos. You can revoke access or delete content any time. We're GDPR-compliant and don't use your content to train models.

Yes. SOPX keeps structured SOPs with version history, so you can see exactly what changed between versions. That covers documentation for ISO 9001, HACCP, GMP, and similar standards. Updates publish instantly to everyone with access, so the team always follows the current version. Export to PDF or Word for audit binders.

A few minutes, depending on the video length. A 10-minute recording is usually ready to review in under five. What used to take days or weeks of manual documentation now happens in minutes, and you can polish the output while the team gets back to work.

Yes, every generated SOP is fully editable. Rewrite step text, reorder or remove steps, swap screenshots, add your own clips or images, and shape the structure to match your standards. Changes are tracked with version history, so you always know what changed and when.

Yes. Videos and SOPs are encrypted at rest and in transit. Access is scoped to your workspace, so only invited team members can view content. We're GDPR-compliant, don't use your content to train models, and you can delete your data any time.

Both. SOPX handles physical process videos (manufacturing, assembly, logistics, food production, maintenance) and screen recordings (software tutorials, internal tools, onboarding flows) in one platform. Phone cameras work as well as screen capture tools. You can mix both inside the same SOP when a process spans them.

Click "Try SOPX free" to create your workspace instantly. No credit card needed. You get 10 AI-generated SOPs to test the full workflow. For enterprise rollouts or team-wide setup, click "Talk to person" to book a short call.

Yes. Upload a PDF and SOPX converts it. AI pulls the text, translates it, extracts images, and maps them to the right steps. The result is an editable SOP without rewriting from scratch. You can also translate it into 50+ languages instantly.

SOPX uses workspaces to group SOPs by department, production line, location, or any structure that matches your organization. You can search across all procedures instantly. Combined with teams and access control, each department sees only the SOPs relevant to their work.

Yes. Create teams, assign users, and set permissions per workspace or individual SOP. Your production team sees production SOPs. Your quality team sees quality SOPs. You decide who can create, edit, and view. Available on all plans.

Yes. SOPX has a built-in annotation tool for marking up step thumbnails and video frames. Add arrows, rectangles, ellipses, text, and callouts to point operators at the exact button, part, or measurement that matters. No extra software, no screenshot uploads.

Both, and you choose per step. Annotations always appear on the step thumbnail. A toggle controls whether they also stay visible while the video clip plays. SOPX also opens a Detail view next to the video so operators can see the annotated key frame at full size while the clip runs.

Yes. SOPX supports both physical process videos (like manufacturing, logistics, healthcare procedures) and software workflows (like internal tools, onboarding, support playbooks).

Three ways in: generate SOPs from video, import a PDF, or create them manually from scratch. Use whichever fits, or mix them.

SOPX uses AI translation tuned for operational context and meaning, not literal word-for-word output. That helps multilingual teams stay consistent on the floor.

Yes. Edit steps any time. Update wording, reorder instructions, and keep SOPs in sync with real process changes.

Yes. Add new short clips to any step so instructions stay clear, like a short-form visual manual.

SOPX keeps a full change history and helps teams hold one approved version per SOP. That cuts confusion and execution risk.

Yes. Any published SOP can be shared via public link or QR code. Viewers open it in the browser. No account, no login, no app install. Works for contractors, temp workers, external partners, and auditors. Export to PDF or Word for offline distribution.

Operations, training, quality, and enablement teams. Common industries: manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, retail, hospitality, and software teams running repeatable workflows.

Yes. Upload a PDF and SOPX converts it into a structured SOP. AI extracts the text, pulls images, and maps them to the right steps. The output is fully editable, translatable into 50+ languages, versioned, and shareable via QR code or public link. Same as any other SOP in your workspace.

Open this page in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox and click Start Recording. Your browser will ask you to choose a screen, window, or tab to share. No software or browser extension is needed.

Yes. The recorder captures your microphone audio automatically. If you share a browser tab, system audio from that tab can also be included. For best results, use Chrome or Edge.

Start the recorder, select the application or screen you want to document, and walk through the process step by step while narrating. When done, download the recording and share it with your team. You can also upload the recording to SOPX to automatically turn it into a written step-by-step guide.

In Chrome and Edge, recordings are saved as MP4. In Firefox and other browsers, recordings are saved as WebM. Both formats are supported by all modern browsers and video players.

Yes, it is 100% free with no usage limits, no watermarks, and no account required. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your video is never uploaded to any server.

Yes. Pick a camera from the dropdown before you start. Your webcam shows up as a small circle in the corner of the recording. Useful for tutorials where viewers benefit from seeing the presenter.

MP4 (H.264 and HEVC), MOV (QuickTime), and WebM. These cover the vast majority of screen recordings, meeting recordings, and phone videos.

No. All processing happens in your browser. Your video file never leaves your device.

2 GB. For best performance, use Chrome or Edge which support hardware-accelerated video encoding.

Yes. The original audio track is passed through to the output file without re-encoding, so there is no audio quality loss.

In Chrome and Edge, you get an MP4 file. In other browsers, the tool falls back to WebM output.

This tool is optimized for desktop browsers. Mobile browsers have limited support and may fall back to a slower processing mode.

PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, and SVG. These cover virtually all screenshots and images used in documentation.

No. All image processing happens in your browser. Your image never leaves your device, so it's safe for screenshots with sensitive content.

50 MB. Images larger than 4096 pixels in any dimension are automatically downscaled to stay within browser limits while preserving quality.

Yes. The tool supports full undo/redo with up to 50 history steps. Use Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on Mac) to undo and Ctrl+Shift+Z (Cmd+Shift+Z on Mac) to redo. You can also delete individual annotations or clear all at once.

You can export annotated images as PNG (best quality for screenshots) or JPG (smaller file size). You can also copy the image directly to your clipboard for pasting into documents, Slack, email, or issue trackers.

Yes. The blur tool has two modes: blur (obscures content while keeping visual context) and redact (solid black fill for complete removal). This is useful for hiding passwords, personal data, or API keys before sharing screenshots.

Unlike desktop tools like Snagit or Skitch, this tool runs entirely in your browser with no installation, no account, and no cost. It works on any operating system including Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS.

Yes, 100% free with no usage limits, no watermarks, and no account required. SOPX built it as a free resource for teams that annotate screenshots for documentation and training.
