About HIGHLAND files

HIGHLAND files, typically used by the Highland scriptwriting software, are specialized formats for creating screenplays, stage plays, and other narrative structures. As they are designed to maintain the integrity of script formatting, converting HIGHLAND files can be challenging.

While Highland is an excellent tool for scriptwriters, its proprietary format can pose limitations when sharing or editing files with others who do not use the software. The primary file extension for Highland is .highland, but it can be converted into more versatile formats like .pdf, .fountain, .fdx, and .txt. For more information on the Highland software, visit its Wikipedia page.

Conversion of HIGHLAND files can be achieved using desktop applications like Highland 2 itself or Final Draft for .fdx files. However, these processes can be cumbersome, and compatibility issues may arise, particularly with formatting and layout integrity during conversion.

Despite their utility, HIGHLAND files are less flexible in terms of accessibility and sharing, making conversion to more commonly used formats advantageous. Conversion challenges include maintaining the original formatting and ensuring that elements like scene headings and dialogue remain intact.

For a hassle-free conversion experience, we recommend using Convert.Guru. By simply dragging and dropping your HIGHLAND files onto the Convert.Guru page, you can convert them safely and reliably into formats that better suit your needs without compromising on quality.

Overall, while HIGHLAND files serve a niche purpose, leveraging conversion tools can greatly enhance their usability and accessibility.

The HIGHLAND Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best HIGHLAND converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
