Review guidance
Locations and dialogue cues are extracted by text rules. Other candidates are inferred from keywords and require human review. If an item is absent, add it manually. Estimated pages are approximate. Cast scene grids are not day-out-of-days scheduling reports, and the planning CSV is not an optimized shooting schedule or budget.
FROM SCRIPT TO SHOOT
A clearer path to production.
Designed for indie filmmakers, assistant directors, line producers, production managers, film students and commercial crews.
Review the evidence
Verify likely scene needs, add missing items and edit quantities, notes and review status.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an AI-based script breakdown?
It is a deterministic, rule-based screenplay parser. It does not use a paid AI service, large language model or generative AI. Ambiguous item mentions remain suggestions for a human to verify.
Does PixelOkay upload my screenplay?
No. Text extraction and breakdown happen in your browser. PDF imports fetch PDF.js code from a third-party CDN on demand, but your document is parsed locally. Export files are saved to your device.
Which screenplay formats work?
TXT and Fountain work natively. FDX and DOCX use browser XML/ZIP handling. Text-based PDFs require an internet connection for the free PDF.js parser; scanned or image-only PDFs require OCR before import.
Can I edit the results and save my work?
Yes. Approve or dismiss candidates, add and edit scene elements, enter notes, and save a JSON project. CSV exports are useful for spreadsheets and production reports. The tool does not automatically save your screenplay to a server.
