Stay Ahead with the Latest Tools 

Each new version of Final Draft introduces industry-leading writing features that make your process faster, smoother, and more creative. By upgrading, you’re not just keeping pace—you’re giving yourself access to the newest writing tools that professionals rely on.

The latest version also guarantees the best compatibility with current operating systems and ongoing updates, ensuring a smoother, more reliable writing experience.

More tools. More productivity. More progress.

Writing Goals and Productivity Stats

Transfer your story beats to the Outline Editor^TM for high-level structure planning on an easy-to-manage timeline. Then send the outline straight to the script, so you start with organized thoughts instead of a blank page.

Midnight & Typewriter Mode

Take Night Mode to the edge with a sleek new alternative dark view theme. Kick it old-school with a new Typewriter-like view option that automatically scrolls to keep the line you’re working on centered, improving focus and ergonomics.

Emoji

Sprinkle emoji across scripts, beats, title pages, and ScriptNotes. Craft more realistic onscreen text and social media exchanges, while making your notes more emotive.

Custom Color PDFs

Create printable files that pop in Night Mode, Midnight Mode and your own themes.

Plan better. Write more.

From powerful productivity tools to smarter ways to organize your script, Final Draft 13 gives you everything you need to supercharge your story planning and writing.

Navigator 2.0

Customize your Navigator for a full view and control of your script. Outline directly in the Navigator, edit scene headings, monitor inclusivity stats, and so much more.

Character Development Tools

Use the new Navigator 2.0 to explore your characters. Track how much screen time each character gets, see how often different characters interact, even assign characters voices to read your script back to you.

Improved Beat Board™

Customize your Beats to display only what you want to see and how you want to see it.

Structure Lines

Assign colors to outlines, acts, sequences, and scenes to track them visually in your script.

Frequently
asked questions

What's the difference between the upgrade and the full version of Final Draft 13?

The only difference between the upgrade and the full version of Final Draft 13 is the pricing! They’re the same program, but previous users can purchase the latest version at a discount.

How do I confirm I'm eligible for the upgrade?

You would need to provide a previously registered Customer Number or Email Address that shows a previous purchase.

Can the upgrade open my old files?

Yes! Anything written in the previous versions of Final Draft can be opened using the newer version. Once FD13 is installed, open it and go to File > Open to locate the files wherever you saved them on your computer.

Do I have to upgrade?

If you are using a supported version of Final Draft, i.e. Final Draft 11 and Final Draft 12, then those versions will still be supported and usable. If you are using Final Draft 10 or earlier and need to install or activate them, then you will need to purchase an upgrade.
