Frequently asked
What is an SOP?
A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a written, step-by-step set of instructions for doing a recurring task the same way every time. Good SOPs state the purpose, scope, roles, prerequisites, and numbered steps.
Is this SOP template generator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up. Fill in the form, then copy the result as Markdown or download it as a Word document or PDF.
Is my SOP saved or uploaded?
Your draft is saved only in this browser so you don't lose it on refresh. Nothing is sent to a server.
How do I write good SOP steps?
Start each step with a verb, keep one action per step, name the exact button or field, and say what the person should see before moving on. If a step needs a screenshot to be clear, it probably needs one.
Can I create an SOP with screenshots automatically?
Yes. With Steperly you record the task once and it writes the SOP for you, with a screenshot for every step, plus a walkthrough video and an interactive version.
Typing out steps? Record the task once instead.
