What is Inkweaver?
Inkweaver helps you build visual novels by transforming your screenplay and artwork into an interactive experience.
You don’t need to copy-paste your screenplay into a code editor, or flatten and export your artwork. Inkweaver uses your screenplay and art files directly.

Our Philosophy
Section titled “Our Philosophy”Inkweaver meets you where you are
Section titled “Inkweaver meets you where you are”Every creator has their own tools, workflows, and best practices.
Inkweaver doesn’t ask you to leave any of that behind. Do your best work in the tools you’ve already mastered, and Inkweaver handles the orchestration.
Still new to all of this? That’s fine too. Inkweaver is designed around professional development pipelines, so you’ll be learning how to do things the right way from the start.
No lock-in
Section titled “No lock-in”Creating a visual novel is a serious commitment, and choosing the wrong tool can cost you more than time.
Inkweaver won’t ask you to make that decision early. Do the work you were already going to do: write your screenplay, and paint your artwork. Inkweaver transforms those files into a working application.
If you ever decide Inkweaver isn’t the right fit, that’s okay. You still have your screenplay and your artwork. When you find the right tool, your first steps are already done.
Free by design
Section titled “Free by design”Inkweaver is completely free to use. No subscription fees, and no royalties.
This is how we find the projects we want to produce. We’re looking for writers and artists with stories that need to be told, and the best way to find them is to remove barriers.
When we discover a team with the right vision, we offer financial support, technical resources, and hands-on guidance through the parts of production that are the hardest to navigate.
If we end up working together, your IP remains yours, and yours alone.
