Free screenplay editor for writers, students, and indie filmmakers
Starting a screenplay should not come with a price tag. Scripty is a free screenplay editor that runs in your browser — no account, no download, no trial period.
Why Scripty is free
Most screenwriting software asks you to pay before you have written a single scene. Scripty flips that: open the browser, start writing, and the formatting just works. There is no premium tier hiding the good parts. Writing should be free.
What you can do without an account
Everything. Write in industry-standard screenplay format with automatic element detection — scene headings, action, character cues, dialogue, parentheticals, and transitions. Open existing .fdx scripts or PDF screenplays, keep writing, and export when you are done. No signup wall, ever.
How local saving works
Scripty autosaves your script to your browser's local storage as you type. Your work stays on your device — it is not uploaded anywhere. Because browser storage can be cleared, Scripty also reminds you to export a desktop copy of your script before you leave.
Formats Scripty supports
Open Final Draft–compatible .fdx files and standard screenplay PDFs (PDF import is in beta). Export to .fdx, PDF, Fountain, and plain text — so your script travels with you to any other tool or workflow.
Who Scripty is for
Writers drafting their first feature, students in screenwriting classes, and indie filmmakers who need a clean, correctly formatted script without buying desktop software. If you are new to script format, start with our screenplay formatting basics.
