What survives this conversion
- everything Fountain carries — Highland’s file format is a Fountain document inside an open package
What can be lost
- non-script project assets (storyboards, schedules) are not converted — the script is
- cloud-era Celtx exports differ from desktop .celtx files
Every conversion includes an honest report listing anything that could not translate — you see it before downloading.
How this pair works
Your Highland file is parsed into a canonical screenplay model (by verified content, not just the file extension), then rendered as Celtx. Celtx background: Celtx (2001) was the free pre-production suite many writers started on; the desktop app was discontinued in 2013 in favor of cloud subscriptions, and in 2022 the cloud itself stopped creating legacy file types — orphaning local .celtx files for good.
