Exporting documents
Documents export as PDF, Markdown or HTML, and screenplays additionally as Final Draft .fdx and Fountain. Screenplay PDFs are real vector output in Courier with page breaks matching what you saw on screen. On iOS and Android, exports go through the system share sheet rather than a browser download.
The export menu is in the document toolbar.
Formats
| Format | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Sending to someone who should not edit it | |
| Markdown | Moving text into another tool, or into version control |
| HTML | Publishing, or pasting into a CMS |
Final Draft .fdx | Screenplays, into industry software |
Fountain .fountain | Screenplays, as plain text that opens anywhere |
The two screenplay formats appear only for documents in screenplay mode.
Real text, not a rendered image — selectable and searchable.
For screenplays it is vector output in Courier at correct industry metrics, and the page breaks match what you saw while writing, because pagination is computed the same way for both.
Markdown
Plain text with structure preserved: headings, lists, emphasis, tables, code blocks and links. Image references are preserved as links; the files themselves stay in Clusters storage.
The right choice for moving writing into another tool without reformatting it by hand.
HTML
Standalone HTML with inline styling, for publishing or pasting into a CMS.
On mobile and in the native apps
On iOS and Android the export goes through the system share sheet rather than a browser download, so it can go straight to Files, Mail, or another app.
Exporting the board instead
To export the whole cluster rather than one document — the canvas with its cards, arrows and drawings — see Exporting a board.
Frequently asked questions
Is the PDF selectable text or an image?
Real text. Screenplay PDFs are vector output in Courier, so the text is selectable and searchable.
Does Markdown export keep my images?
Image references are preserved. The images themselves stay in Clusters storage and are linked, not embedded.
Why would I export Fountain instead of Final Draft?
Fountain is plain text — it opens anywhere, diffs cleanly in version control, and does not depend on any one application.
