Turn Your Novel Into a Screenplay with AI
About NovelToScreenplay
NovelToScreenplay is an online AI converter that adapts an existing novel, book or short story into a screenplay draft. You upload a manuscript as a PDF, DOCX or TXT file (up to 100 MB, text-based) or paste a chapter into the editor, choose whether the target is a feature film, a TV pilot or a short, and the AI turns literary prose into scenes with scene headings, present-tense action, character names and dialogue. The finished draft can be exported as DOCX for Word and Google Docs, FDX for Final Draft and other screenwriting software, or Fountain as a plain-text screenplay.
First you upload your novel or paste your story. The upload accepts PDF, DOCX and TXT files, and scanned PDFs that contain only images need to be converted to selectable text first. You also pick the adaptation format: feature, TV pilot or short screenplay.
Next the AI analyses the story and adapts it into screenplay scenes with action, dialogue and scene headings, working to preserve the important plot points and character relationships. A feature film usually needs a more condensed narrative than the book, so events may be combined and exposition shortened.
- •Full-Manuscript Adaptation - Works with complete novels rather than one scene at a time, using the structure of your original story to guide scene selection and keep continuity across the screenplay.
- •Story and Character Reference - Tracks names, relationships, motivations and important plot developments so characters and storylines stay consistent from chapter to chapter.
- •Prose to Cinematic Scenes - Converts descriptive passages and internal monologue into visible action, interactions and natural dialogue written for the screen.
- •Screenplay Formatting - Produces INT./EXT. scene headings, present-tense action, character cues and dialogue, parentheticals and transitions in a standard screenplay layout.
- •Script Editor with AI Revisions - Request chapter revisions in plain language and read Adaptation notes that explain the choices made in each sequence.
NovelToScreenplay is made for novelists and authors who have written a book and want to see how it could work as a film or series, without learning screenplay formatting from scratch. It gives them a draft they can review, revise and develop for potential film or television projects.
