SOP Maker is a web tool for creating, numbering, authorising, and printing controlled Standard Operating Procedures. It is designed for teams that need documented, auditable procedures, including food sites working with BRCGS and HACCP audits. Each SOP can record preparer and authoriser details, revision numbers, dates, and Draft, Review, or Approved status. Finished procedures print as A4 PDFs with page footers and steps kept together across page breaks. The structured editor includes 158 icons for PPE, cleaning tools, controls, and chemical classes. Content stays in the browser and, when connected, can also be stored in a selected computer or shared-drive folder. The maker says user content is not sent to a server and receives no AI or external network calls. The free plan costs nothing, has no sign-up or usage limit, and permits commercial work. Desktop Chrome or Edge is required for authoring; the downloadable and hosted versions support offline use after loading.
