Screenplay writer
Turn an idea into a formatted screenplay
One line about your story is enough to start. plotwell opens a project on the page where you write, in industry format, with an AI script doctor reading along.
How it works
From a premise to a first scene
- 1
Describe the story
A sentence is enough. A retired stuntman takes one last job and recognises the mark.
- 2
The page opens formatted
Scene headings, action, dialogue and parentheticals are formatted as you type. You never set a margin.
- 3
Keep the whole film with it
Characters, locations, storyboards and the shooting plan live in the same project, so nothing is retyped later.
Screenplay writer
Start your screenplay
plotwell opens on the writing page with your premise already in, so the first thing you see is a script and not a setup wizard.
Nothing to bring. We set up an empty project and open it on the part you asked for.
FAQ
Common questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The free plan includes one project, one collaborator and every feature, with no credit card and no time limit.
Can I import a script I already started?
Yes. plotwell imports Final Draft (.fdx) and Fountain files, and reads PDF and Word documents in your browser without uploading them.
Does the AI write it for me?
It writes drafts you edit. You can generate a scene from a brief, then rewrite any line yourself. Chatting is free; generating a scene costs one credit.
