What survives this conversion
- screenplay structure via elements and class names
- universal readability in any browser, no software needed
What can be lost
- the XML dialect is Final Draft’s own; third-party files are compatible, not endorsed
- some production metadata (e.g., tagging) has no representation in text formats
Every conversion includes an honest report listing anything that could not translate — you see it before downloading.
How this pair works
Your HTML file is parsed into a canonical screenplay model (by verified content, not just the file extension), then rendered as Final Draft FDX. Final Draft FDX background: Introduced as the default save format with Final Draft 8 in 2009, FDX replaced the binary .fdr format so scripts could move between Final Draft and other tools as structured XML. Final Draft 1–7 cannot open it at all.
