ScreenJSON (.screenjson) → Trelby (.trelby)

Pro Rescuing a script out of ScreenJSON (.screenjson) is the Pro part — from there it converts to Trelby (.trelby) and every other format on the site. The button below opens the converter with the output format already selected, and the server checks your plan when the file is dropped in.

How this pair works

Your ScreenJSON file is parsed into a canonical screenplay model (by verified content, not just the file extension), then rendered as Trelby. Trelby background: Trelby began in 2003 as the commercial Blyte, was open-sourced and renamed in 2012, and remains free software — maintained by its community and notable for still importing formats other apps abandoned, including Adobe Story’s .astx.
