AEJuice Text To Layers earns its place for a narrow, practical job: turning a single text layer into per-character, per-word, or per-line layers without adding expressions or extra characters. It works across languages, fonts, and multiline text.
AEJuice Text To Layers is a script for After Effects that breaks a text layer down into separate layers, splitting by character, by word, or by line. The result is a set of text layers, each holding one character, word, or line on its own, without any extra characters.
The script does not add expressions and does not add extra characters, so the layers it produces stay clean. It works with multiline text and handles any font, any language, and special characters. The layers contain nothing beyond the text itself.
AEJuice describes it as suited to animating typography or other text scenes. It supports After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, CC 2022 or higher, and was last updated in October 2023.
AEJuice Text To Layers is best for animating typography or other text scenes in After Effects.
AEJuice Text To Layers is completely free to download and use.
AEJuice Text To Layers supports After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, and CC 2022 or higher, so it covers a long span of releases. The requirements match that same range of versions. If you run a newer build of After Effects, the "or higher" note indicates it is intended to work there too. For the current details on any specific release, check the developer's page before installing.
AEJuice Text To Layers does not add any expressions and does not add any extra characters. When it breaks a text layer into separate layers by character, word, or line, each resulting layer holds only that character, word, or line, with nothing extra attached. This keeps the output clean, leaving you with plain text layers rather than layers carrying additional data. The behaviour applies whether you split by character, by word, or by line.
AEJuice Text To Layers works with any language, any font, and special characters, and it also handles multiline text. That means you can split text layers written in different languages or containing special characters, and it does not restrict you to a particular typeface. Whether the text sits on one line or several, the script can break it into separate layers by character, word, or line. Details on specific setups are on the developer's page.
AEJuice Text To Layers is listed as free here in our catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, and AEJuice runs sales and promotions, so the most reliable place to confirm current pricing and license conditions is the developer's page. If you plan to use it in a commercial project, it is worth checking those terms directly with AEJuice before you download. Our listing reflects how the item is catalogued at the time of writing.
