Looking for a Screenplay Formatter alternative?
You're not alone. The original Screenplay Formatter shut down, leaving over a million screenwriters without their favorite tool.
Try Screenplay Editor — it's freeWhat happened?
Screenplay Formatter was the most popular screenplay formatting add-on for Google Docs. Then Google stopped supporting it. Writers lost access overnight. Scripts stuck in limbo, workflows broken.
We've been there. That's why we built Screenplay Editor, an even more powerful tool designed for professional screenwriters who want freedom and simplicity.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Screenplay Editor gives you:
Auto-format that handles your entire script in one click. Scene headings, action, character, dialogue. All industry-standard formatting.
Real-time collaboration, because it's Google Docs.
Export to PDF. Final Draft (.fdx) coming soon.
Pomodoro timer to stay focused. Boneyard to store your killed darlings.
Plus it's free, private, and actively developed by a team of working screenwriters and developers.
