Free tools for screenwriters.
Seven of them run entirely in your browser: your script stays on your computer and nothing is uploaded. The last two need a model to draw and to write, so they send a short summary and say exactly what it holds. None of them asks you to create an account. I built them because I write my own films in Google Docs and kept wishing they existed.
Open your screenplay in Google Docs
Drop in a PDF, a Final Draft file or a Fountain file, and get back a document that opens in Google Docs already formatted.
CheckerCheck your format before you send it
The notes a reader would write on your script: type size, margins, headings, long speeches, names spelled two ways.
BreakdownTurn your script into a breakdown sheet
Every scene, interior or exterior, day or night, its location and its cast, in a coloured spreadsheet.
StructureLay out your beats and start writing
The fifteen beats at their real page numbers for the length you are writing, in a document already divided.
Title pageMake a title page that looks right
Four fields, and the title page a reader expects, centred and spaced the way the industry sets it.
Running timeHow long does your script run?
A real estimate with an honest range, and how much of the film is people talking.
CharactersSee who carries your script
Who speaks, how much, in how many scenes, and the page where they walk out of the film.
LoglinesGet three loglines from your script
It reads your pages first, then writes three loglines on three different angles. Not a form you fill in.
PosterMake a poster for your film
Drop in your screenplay and get the poster that film would have. The one thing here you will want to show somebody.
