Laper

What is Laper

Laper is an AI-native screenplay creation tool designed for screenwriters, directors, and producers. Laper automatically follows Hollywood industry-standard screenplay formatting and has built-in AI generation capabilities that can generate character profiles, relationship maps, casting posters, movie posters, character portraits, prop references, scene stills, and storyboards from the screenplay content with one click. Laper can export to PDF, Final Draft, and Fountain formats, seamlessly connecting to the production workflow.

Laper's main features

• AI screenplay formatting: Laper automatically follows Hollywood industry-standard screenplay formatting, so users only need to focus on the story content without manually adjusting professional layout such as scene headings, character dialogue, and action descriptions.
• AI asset generation: Based on the screenplay context, generate character bios, relationship maps, casting posters, movie posters, character portraits, prop references, scene stills, and storyboards with one click, with all assets synced to collaborators in real time.
• Real-time collaborative editing: Supports multiple people editing the screenplay online at the same time, using CRDT technology to achieve conflict-free, overwrite-free, and loss-free real-time synchronization, and allows assigning editor, commenter, or viewer permissions to collaborators.
• Character and structure management: Provides a character card system (including name, role, emotional arc, and relationships) as well as three starting templates: three-act structure, character-first, and blank screenplay, helping with systematic story construction.
• Multi-format export: Supports exporting to industry-standard PDF, Final Draft, and Fountain formats, with customizable settings such as paper size, scene numbering, title page, and watermark.
