Graph Master Free earns its place in the aescripts library for turning bar-graph creation into a procedural, preset-driven workflow. Recent updates sped up rendering and refined the UI, and it stays current with After Effects through the 2026 release.
Graph Master Free is a tool for building bar graphs in After Effects, presented by developer Prizrak_KD as the easiest way to create them. It uses a full procedural graph setup with an open structure, so graphs arrive already animated and ready to adjust.
The panel supports any number of bars with automatic alignment and dual bars, plus three shading types. A single click switches a graph between positive and negative or between horizontal and vertical layouts. An expandable library of presets and a user-friendly UI cover fast customisation, and a demo video is available.
Version 3.5.0, released on 8 July 2025, adds a UI video preview for the Radar Graph. Earlier updates accelerated rendering by roughly 1.5 to 2.5 times, added the ability to place new layers into the composition, and universalized expressions across After Effects languages. It runs on After Effects 2020 through 2026 and is listed here as free.
Graph Master Free is best for after Effects users who need to build and animate bar graphs.
Graph Master Free is completely free to download and use.
Graph Master Free supports After Effects 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, so it works with the 2026 release alongside older versions back to 2020. The features list also names After Effects 2020 and later as the baseline. If you run a version outside that range, check the developer's page before installing to confirm current requirements, since compatibility can shift between releases of the panel.
Graph Master Free is listed here as free. It is the free edition of Graph Master, focused on bar graphs, and version 2.5 was described as an exact copy of the bar graphs from the full version. For current licensing terms and any conditions attached to the free release, check the developer's page, since those details can change over time.
Graph Master Free can flip a graph between horizontal and vertical orientation in one click, and it can switch a graph's setup between positive and negative in one click as well, from zero upward. It builds bar graphs procedurally, with any number of bars, automatic alignment and dual bars, and graphs come already animated. Three shading types and an expandable preset library cover styling and layout options.
Graph Master Free reached version 3.5.0 on 8 July 2025, which added a new UI video preview for the Radar Graph. The earlier 3.0.0 update accelerated rendering by roughly 1.5 to 2.5 times across all sections, added the ability to add new layers to the composition, improved the UI, universalized expressions for all After Effects languages, and fixed a range of bugs. See the developer's page for the complete changelog.
