Brand Keeper earns its place in the aescripts library by keeping brand references inside After Effects itself. One panel, no internet connection required during use, and brand data that stays local.
Brand Keeper is a CEP panel for After Effects that keeps a client's brand colors, fonts, assets, and notes inside the application. It runs without an internet connection, and brand data is stored locally on your machine, so client information never leaves it.
Colors are organized into primary and secondary palettes with one-click HEX copy from swatches, custom labels for each color, and drag-to-reorder within each group. A typeface library documents role, weight, and size. Assets support drag-and-drop storage, multi-file drops, thumbnail previews, and direct import into the active composition, along with a folder system for keeping them organized.
A global brand library lets you create and manage unlimited brands, with per-composition notes alongside global brand rules. Brands export as .bkbrand files for team sharing and import from teammates or clients. A bulk action bar and real-time search help manage larger asset collections. Brand Keeper is compatible with After Effects 2025 and 2026 and works on both macOS and Windows.
Brand Keeper is best for motion designers and freelancers working across multiple client brands, and studio teams where brand consistency across multiple artists matters.
Brand Keeper is completely free to download and use.
Brand Keeper is compatible with After Effects 2025 and 2026, and it runs on both macOS and Windows.

Brand Keeper is a pure CEP panel with no internet connection required during use. Brand data is stored locally on your machine, so your client information never leaves it. This keeps colors, typefaces, assets, and notes available inside After Effects without relying on external services while you work. Because everything lives locally, you can still export a brand as a .bkbrand file when you want to share it, and import .bkbrand files from teammates or clients.
Brand Keeper exports a brand as a .bkbrand file for team sharing, and you can import .bkbrand files from teammates or clients instantly. Combined with the global brand library, which lets you create and manage unlimited brands, this makes it possible to move a complete brand setup, including its colors, typefaces, and assets, between machines and artists. For studio teams where brand consistency across multiple artists matters, this keeps everyone working from the same colors, typefaces, and assets.
Brand Keeper includes a folder system where you can create, rename, delete, and collapse or expand folders, with a color marker per folder for visual grouping. You can multi-select assets via Shift+click or Cmd/Ctrl+click and drag them into a folder together, use the bulk action bar to Import to Comp, Remove, or Clear at once, and rely on real-time search and filter that auto-expands matching folders. Thumbnail previews show each asset entry.
Brand Keeper is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for current pricing and licensing details before you download. There you can also confirm the latest version and compatibility information for your setup.
