Highland Beta - The screenplay converter for Macintosh.

Introducing Highland

Highland converts screenplays between PDF, FDX and Fountain formats. And back again.

It melts PDFs, making them editable.
It creates perfectly-formatted PDFs from Fountain or FDX files.
It creates future-proof Fountain files you can edit in any text editor.

It’s basically magic. Coming soon to the Mac App Store.

This changes everything. (into everything else)

Fountain Highland speaks Fountain. With Highland, you can create a perfectly formatted screenplay PDF with nothing more than a plain text editor. Or use Highland to create an .fdx file, ready for finishing. More on Fountain PDF Highland melts PDFs. No longer are screenplays trapped in uneditable PDF files. Highland turns PDFs into .fdx files or versatile Fountain documents. Final Draft Highland works with Final Draft. Highland makes collaboration simple by quickly turning .fdx files into PDFs, or plain text Fountain files that anyone can edit.

Highland beta overview

What is Fountain?

Learn more about Fountain at fountain.io.

Fountain is a plain text markup language for screenwriting.

Fountain is a simple markup syntax for writing, editing and sharing screenplays in plain, human-readable text. Fountain allows you to work on your screenplay anywhere, on any computer or tablet, using any software that edits text files.

Because it’s just plain text, Fountain is also a great format for archiving screenplays without worry of file-format obsolescence or incompatibility.

Fountain is an open-source project supported by a growing number of apps. Discover more Fountain-enabled apps at fountain.io/apps.
