Native stage plot software for Windows, built to work offline.

Stage Plot Forge is a native Windows stage plot maker for musicians, live sound engineers, stage managers, and touring production teams. Build the visual layout and its production data in one local project, check it before sending, and export a crew-ready PDF or image without relying on a browser editor.

Updated

Install the signed Windows app

Stage Plot Forge supports 64-bit Windows 10 version 22H2 and Windows 11. Open its Microsoft Store listing, choose Install, and launch the Microsoft-signed app from Windows. Windows 11 on Arm uses the operating system's built-in x64 emulation.

Microsoft Store checks for signed releases and installs updates in the background. Updating the app does not replace the stage plot project files stored on the PC.

Use a focused Windows desktop workflow

Use a purpose-built desktop workspace with a searchable symbol library, precise canvas, project inspector, production-data tables, keyboard shortcuts, and secure account storage in Windows Credential Manager. Start with the audience edge and stage dimensions, arrange the show, then review the plot, production tables, notes, and preflight checks in the same project.

Present your existing stage plot in 3D

Open 3D View from your 2D layout, rotate and zoom, or choose Perspective, Audience or Top view. Save a PNG of the current view or use PDF + 3D to add a presentation page alongside the technical plan. Editing stays in 2D; equipment heights are illustrative defaults.

Build the plot and its production data together

  • Arrange performers, instruments, microphones, monitors, backline, risers, power, and utilities
  • Choose from 376 production symbols or import PDF, PNG, and JPEG artwork
  • Create input lists with channel, source, microphone or DI, stand, patch, and phantom-power details
  • Assign monitor mixes and record artist-supplied or venue-requested equipment
  • Add contacts, revisions, notes, and preflight checks before export

Work offline at rehearsals and venues

The editable project, imported assets, production lists, and exports stay on the PC, so day-to-day planning and PDF export do not depend on venue Wi-Fi. Internet access is still used for account setup, purchase, license restoration, and periodic entitlement verification; a signed lifetime license is designed to keep working through temporary outages.

Export a Windows stage plot as PDF, PNG, or JPEG

Export the visual stage plan as a vector PDF or create PNG and JPEG images for quick sharing. Include the input list and the production data already present in the project in a print-ready PDF pack, or export input and monitor data as CSV for another production workflow.

Because the pages come from one working document, the plotted sources, channel list, monitor assignments, contacts, and revision are easier to review as one current production pack.

Keep portable documents and a one-time license

Windows and the direct-download Mac edition share a Stage Plot Forge account and a one-time Stripe purchase. The Mac App Store edition uses separate Apple purchases that do not unlock Windows. Projects use the same portable format: a Windows document can also be opened on Mac, and existing projects remain openable and exportable after the trial.
