# Overview

> screenjson-export is the free, open-source reference CLI. FDX / Fountain / FadeIn → ScreenJSON.

`screenjson-export` is the minimal, open-source subset of the ScreenJSON CLI. It reads three writer formats and writes ScreenJSON.

* **Final Draft** — `.fdx`
* **Fountain** — `.fountain`, `.spmd`
* **FadeIn** — `.fadein`

<Info>
  MIT-licensed, single static binary, no CGO. [Source on GitHub](https://github.com/screenjson/screenjson-export).

## What it does

* Reads FDX, Fountain, or FadeIn from disk.
* Emits valid ScreenJSON on stdout or to a file.
* Pretty-prints JSON by default.
* Sets the primary language tag via `--lang`.

## What it does **not** do

* No PDF import.
* No export to FDX / Fountain / FadeIn / PDF.
* No schema validation.
* No encryption.
* No server mode, no storage drivers, no MCP.

For any of the above, use [`screenjson-cli`](/tools/cli/overview).
