Why we like it

Liquid Glass earns its listing by doing one thing directly: one click for the shape, then full control over size, corner radius, fill, and effects from the Effect Controls.

What is Liquid Glass?

Liquid Glass is an After Effects plugin from grape design that creates a modern liquid-glass shape with a single click. From there you can adjust size, corner radius, fill, and effects, and add blur and distortion to transparent areas.

Every parameter is fully adjustable and animatable directly from the Effect Controls, and the plugin ships with a simple, minimal UI. Version 1.1 runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023. The 1.1 update fixed a UI display bug following the initial 1.0 release.

Listed on aescripts and available free in this catalog, Liquid Glass keeps its scope focused: a single liquid-glass shape, generated in one click and then tuned entirely from the Effect Controls. A demo video is available on the developer's page.

Who is Liquid Glass best for?

Liquid Glass is best for after Effects artists who want a liquid-glass shape they can generate in one click and animate from the Effect Controls.

Frequently asked questions

Does Liquid Glass work with After Effects 2024?

Liquid Glass lists compatibility with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023, so the 2024 release is covered. The current version is 1.1, updated August 15, 2025. If you run one of these four versions, the plugin should install and run as expected. For versions outside that range, check the developer's page before installing, since compatibility beyond the listed releases isn't stated. Confirming your exact After Effects build against the supported list is the safest step.

What changed in Liquid Glass version 1.1?

Liquid Glass reached version 1.1 on August 15, 2025, a day after the initial 1.0 release on August 14, 2025. The 1.1 update fixed a UI display bug, and no other changes are noted for that release. Version 1.0 was the first public version. If you're upgrading from 1.0, the practical difference is the UI fix. For the latest build and any changes newer than 1.1, the developer's page is the place to check.

Is Liquid Glass free to download?

Liquid Glass is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for current pricing, license conditions, and any usage restrictions, check the plugin's page on aescripts or the developer's page. Downloading from the official source also ensures you get the current version, which is 1.1 as of August 15, 2025. That's also where you'll find the demo video and the full compatibility list.

Can the Liquid Glass shape be animated?

Liquid Glass generates its liquid-glass shape with one click, then exposes controls for size, corner radius, fill, and effects. Every parameter is fully adjustable and animatable from the Effect Controls, so you can keyframe the shape's properties over time like any other effect. It can also add blur and distortion to transparent areas. The interface is described as simple and minimal, keeping the adjustable parameters in one place within the Effect Controls.
