Bevelizer earns a spot in the aescripts library for pairing bevel creation with three modes and browser-based matcap tools, delivered in a free initial release that reaches a wide range of After Effects versions.
Bevelizer is a plugin from Dragoy for After Effects, built to create chamfers — also called bevels — for styling text or any other shapes. It arrives at version 1.0 as an initial release and sits in the aescripts library.
Bevelizer offers three modes. Luma detects edges based on brightness, suited to video footage. Alpha uses transparency for clean shape isolation, aimed at text, vectors and logos. Height Map uses luminance directly as height data, suited to displacement maps and grayscale depth images.
Bevelizer also connects to matcap creation. A Free Web Tool runs in your browser with no installation, and One-Click Access launches it from the Matcap Gallery via the Create Matcap button. Smart Jitter adds subtle variations to keep results usable, while Full Shuffle randomly picks curve presets and matcaps. Compatibility spans After Effects from 2026 back through CC 2015.3.
Bevelizer is best for styling text or other shapes with chamfers and bevels in After Effects.
Bevelizer is completely free to download and use.
Bevelizer supports After Effects 2026, along with 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and the CC releases 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2015.3. That range covers recent and older installs, so if you're on any version from CC 2015.3 forward you should be able to run it. For the current, definitive compatibility list, check the developer's page on aescripts before installing.
Bevelizer is listed here as free. For the current licensing terms and any conditions attached to its use, check the developer's page on aescripts, since those details can change over time. The plugin is at version 1.0, published as an initial release on January 30, 2026, so it's an early build to keep in mind before you download and try it out.
Bevelizer includes three modes. Luma detects edges based on brightness and is suited to video footage. Alpha uses transparency for clean shape isolation, aimed at text, vectors and logos. Height Map uses luminance directly as height data, suited to displacement maps and grayscale depth images. Matching the mode to your source material lets you work from footage, vector artwork or a grayscale depth image.
Bevelizer offers One-Click Access to matcap creation: you launch it from the Matcap Gallery using the Create Matcap button. The associated Free Web Tool runs in your browser with no installation required. From there, Smart Jitter adds subtle variations to keep results usable, and Full Shuffle randomly picks curve presets and matcaps. For step-by-step guidance, the developer's page on aescripts is the place to look.
