About HelpXplain

Create HTML-based step-by-step instructions and tutorials.

HelpXplain helps you create animated step-by-step tutorials and quick instructions in minutes instead of hours. It animates a series of simple screenshots, each of which can be edited or replaced at any time. HelpXplain can also record multi-page screencasts of programs on your computer screen that run in autoplay mode like a video. Recording and editing them is much easier than trying to create a video. All Xplains are 100% standards-compliant HTML5 and Javascript, 100% responsive and cross-platform. 

HelpXplain Features

  • Perfect for slideshows embedded into web pages and technical documentation.
  • Create animated step-by-step tutorials and quick instructions in minutes instead of hours. HelpXplain animates a series of simple screenshots, each of which can be edited or replaced at any time.
  • HelpXplain can record multi-page screencasts of programs on your computer screen that run in autoplay mode like a video.
  • All Xplains are 100% standards-compliant HTML5 and Javascript, 100% responsive and cross-platform. With an overhead small enough to load in less than a second.
  • HelpXplain uses an 'infinite canvas', a virtual surface on which you position your slides anywhere you want. The presentation plays by moving the canvas behind the 'viewport' on the screen. As the presentation plays, the slides move, zoom and rotate into and out of the viewport.
  • Rotate, pan and zoom. Create captivating effects by simply arranging the slides on the canvas.
  • HelpXplain comes with a built-in screen-capture and screencast tool. HelpXplain screencasts look like videos when they play, but they are actually an animated series of screenshots with an animated cursor. The individual screenshots are played one by one, creating a video-like effect as if the screen had been filmed.
