Useful output, not a score
Load a sample Final Draft file to inspect dual dialogue in two columns, numbered scenes, page layout, and a per-file fidelity report before choosing your own draft.
Print or save a PDF through your own browser, or download Fountain or plain text. The PDF never leaves your machine because your machine makes it.
A per-element count of what comes across unchanged, what arrives as action, and what stays in Final Draft. Counted from your draft, not from a general table.
Choose a .fdx or Fountain file, or paste the text. Reading and parsing happen in this tab; no draft is uploaded.
Check the page count and the layout, then read which elements carry across and which flatten to action.
Print to PDF for a reader, or take Fountain to keep writing anywhere — in Inkwell or any other tool.
No. Parsing, layout, downloads, and the printed PDF all run in this browser tab. No account is required, and no copy is kept after you close the tab.
Yes. Choose the file and the screenplay is laid out as pages you can read, print, or save in another format. You do not need a Final Draft license, and the original file is not modified.
Yes — Courier 12pt on US Letter, a 1.5-inch left margin for the binding, 1-inch elsewhere, dialogue and character cues on the industry columns, dual dialogue in two columns, scene numbers in the margins, and page numbers top right. Page breaks come from Inkwell's own formatting-aware pagination calculator, not a words-per-page estimate.
Your browser renders the pages you can already see. In the dialog, choose Save as PDF, set paper to Letter, and turn off headers and footers — the page carries its own margins and numbers.
Locked page boundaries and revision generations are Final Draft production state and stay there. Camera shots, cast lists, and Final Draft's General paragraphs keep every word but arrive as action, because there is no separate element for them. The tool counts each of these in your specific file rather than describing them in general.
No — this page reads .fdx files, it does not write them. Producing a Final Draft file is an export in Plot on the Writer plan and above. Reading an .fdx is free here and in Plot.
The inspector diagnoses one file — revision sets, locked pages, name variants, what looks unusual or malformed. This converts one: it lays the script out and hands you the format you asked for.
