Turn recordings into guides with screenshots
Upload a screen recording up to 100 minutes and Hinto writes a step-by-step guide, an SOP or a help article, with a screenshot cut from the recording at each step. Switch any still to a GIF or a clip, crop it, blur private details and edit its alt text, all in the same editor.

Screenshots cut from your recording at each step
While Hinto writes an article, it marks the moment in the recording each step needs a picture from, and the still is cut from the video at that frame.
- Marked while it writes
- The model writing the article is told to add a still wherever a step needs a visual reference, and to note the second in the recording it comes from.
- Cut at that exact frame
- Hinto seeks to that point in your recording and keeps the frame at the video's own resolution, with no rescaling.
- Move it if the moment is off
- Open the still in the editor and drag the time slider to a better moment in the same recording. Nothing needs recording again.How this works
Step-by-step guides that place the screenshots
Three article templates are told to place stills from the recording: the detailed how-to guide, feature overviews and the guided lesson. In the editor, any still can become a GIF or a clip. For screenshots without the long article, pick the Video Screenshots project type.
A still at each step
The template is told to place a still wherever a step needs a visual reference, cut from the moment it happens in the recording.
Stills of a page and its parts
A quick walk-through of one page or feature, with stills from the recording beside the parts it explains.
A clip that plays the step
Switch a still to Clip in the editor, and the lesson plays that stretch of the recording with its own sound.
Edit the still without leaving the article
Every image opens in one editor. Switch it to a GIF or a clip, crop it, point at part of it, blur what should stay private, and rotate it.
- Screenshot, GIF or clip
- The same block switches between a still, a GIF of up to 30 seconds and a trimmed clip, all cut from the same recording.
- Crop
- Drag a box over the part of the frame the step is about.
- Frame
- Draw a box around a button or a field to point the reader at it.
- Focus
- Keep one area sharp and blur everything outside it.
- Blur
- Blur an email, a name or a key before the article is shared.
- Rotate
- Turn the image 90 degrees clockwise, for a recording made on its side.
Clip a moment from the recording
A block can also be a clip. Trim one and it keeps the recording's own sound.

AI alt text for every image
Accessibility and SEO from the same extraction pass. Every extracted image gets a description written for it, and you can change it.
The model writes the description inside the screenshot reference.- It's written at extraction, not on request
- The model that turns your recording into an article writes each image's description as it places the image. Any image left without one gets a description filled in on the next generation pass.
- Edit it before you publish
- The generated text opens in an editable field, so you can rewrite it in your own words or add detail the model missed.
- How this works
- Regenerate whenever you want
- Open an image in the editor and click Regenerate beside its alt text, or use Regenerate alt text in the article's menu. Hinto writes a fresh description, replacing the one that was there.
Style the background, padding and corners
Set how an image looks once for the whole project, or override it for a single image.
- Style one image
- Open the image editor for any extracted screenshot and set its background color, padding and corner rounding. That style applies to this one image only.
- How this works
- Or set it once for the whole project
- Project settings hold the same three controls: background, padding and corners. Set them there and every image without its own override picks them up.

Questions about screenshots from screen recordings
It does not analyze every frame. While Hinto writes the article, the model is told to mark the moment in the recording where a step needs a visual reference, and the still is cut from the video at that exact frame, at the video's own resolution.
