GG Bunkai earns a place in the aescripts library as a focused utility for breaking text down to the shape-layer level, with modes ranging from a single layer to per-character and per-path splits.
GG Bunkai - Text to Shape Layer Converter is an After Effects tool that turns text layers into shape layers. Alongside a straightforward conversion, it offers the option to disassemble each connected path.
The conversion supports several modes. You can create a single text shape layer, or divide the text and generate a separate shape layer for each piece. Splitting works per line, at white spaces and line breaks, at each character, or at every structural separation within a character. In each divided mode, every resulting shape layer receives a centered anchor point.
Version 1.5 was released on January 24, 2024, and the plugin runs on After Effects 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and CC 2019, 2018 and 2017. It is listed here as free, so check the developer's page for current licensing. A demo video is available.
GG Bunkai - Text to Shape Layer Converter is best for after Effects users who need text converted to shape layers, whether as a single layer or split by line, word, character, or structural path.
GG Bunkai - Text to Shape Layer Converter is completely free to download and use.

GG Bunkai gives every shape layer a centered anchor point in each of its divided modes. Whether you split text per line, at white spaces and line breaks, at each character, or at every structural separation within a character, each resulting shape layer is created with a centered anchor point. The single-layer mode instead produces one text shape layer from the original text.
