Final Draft

Final Draft is screenwriting software used across film and TV. It writes scripts for film, television, theater, documentaries, and other media. The software formats your pages to the industry standard while you type. You can plan your story, work with other writers, and run production reports in the same tool. Today it comes as the cloud-based Final Draft Suite and as Final Draft 13 for desktop. A free trial of the Suite is on offer now. Check finaldraft.com for current prices and plans.

Key Features

1. Industry-standard formatting

Final Draft formats your script as you type. Scene headings, dialogue, and action fall into place, so pages match what productions expect.

2. Story planning tools

You can plan your story inside the app before and while you write. Your plan stays next to the script, not in a separate file.

3. Collaboration and cloud storage

The Suite gives you a normal online writing interface with secure cloud storage. You can share scripts and work with other writers with enterprise-level security.

4. Production reports

Final Draft runs production reports from your script. That helps a production team plan shoot days from the same file the writer used.

5. Desktop and cloud editions

Final Draft 13 is the desktop app on its own. The Suite is a subscription that joins the desktop app with the online writing interface.
