Exporting your script as PDF, EPUB or DOCX

Knowledge Base / Scripts & Screenplays /Exporting your script as PDF, EPUB or DOCX

Finished scripts export in three formats, each with the screenplay layout baked in.

PDF

The submission format. Courier 12pt, standard screenplay margins and indents, and a plain typed title page with the script's title and your author name. That plain page is deliberate: film and theatre convention is no cover art, no synopsis page, no decorations. Print it for a table read or attach it to a submission as-is.

DOCX

For collaboration. The DOCX keeps the screenplay indents and opens in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, which is the easiest way to collect notes and tracked changes from a writing partner, director or teacher.

EPUB

For reading. The EPUB keeps scene headings, dialogue columns and Courier styling, and reads comfortably on phones, tablets and e-readers. Handy for reviewing your own draft away from a desk.

How to export

  • Quick Mode scripts: open the story from your profile's creations list and use Read / Download to grab any format.
  • Writer Studio projects: use the export panel in the editor sidebar.

Things scripts don't export

Scripts have no audiobook option, and exports skip the cover page, copyright page and synopsis that books get. That's standard for the format: a script is a working document, and readers expect it to look like one.
