Why we like it

Number Maker earns its place in the aescripts library by pairing multiple animation modes with property linking and flexible formatting in a single number-focused tool.

What is Number Maker?

Number Maker generates dynamic text-based numbers inside After Effects, aimed at counters, timers, and value-driven animations. You can link text to time or properties, with flexible number formatting and a clean, adaptive UI.

The tool animates numbers through several modes: By Time, By Speed, and By Marker. Follow Property links numbers to any property, while Map Range maps input and output values. Multiplier and Offset control the values, and formatting options cover prefixes, suffixes, and symbols. It supports counters, progress bars, percentages, and custom formats, and everything stays fully editable after creation through layer controls.

Number Maker runs with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, and the current version is 1.3.0. A demo video is available for a closer look, and the plugin is listed here as free.

Who is Number Maker best for?

Number Maker is best for motion designers building UI and HUD animations, infographics and data visualization, progress indicators and counters, or any project that requires animated numeric values.

How much does Number Maker cost?

Frequently asked questions

What After Effects versions does Number Maker support?

Number Maker supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, so recent versions across several years are covered. The current release is version 1.3.0, dated February 14, 2026. If you run one of those listed versions, the plugin is built to work with your setup. For versions outside that range, check the developer's page before installing, since support beyond the listed releases isn't stated here.

Is Number Maker free to use?

Number Maker is listed here as free, so there's no price attached in this catalog entry. Licensing terms can change over time, so it's worth confirming the current details on the developer's page before you download. The listing reflects version 1.3.0, released on February 14, 2026, as the initial release. For the most up-to-date licensing and download information, the developer's page is the place to look.

How does Number Maker link numbers to properties?

Number Maker links numbers to any property using its Follow Property option, letting values track a chosen property directly. It also maps input and output values through Map Range, and you can adjust results with Multiplier and Offset controls. Beyond property linking, the tool animates numbers by time, by speed, and by marker, so numeric values can be driven in several ways depending on what a project needs.

Can Number Maker values be edited after they're created?

Number Maker keeps numbers fully editable after creation through layer controls, so values and settings can be adjusted once they're in your composition. Formatting options cover prefixes, suffixes, and symbols, and the tool supports counters, progress bars, percentages, and custom formats. This means numeric elements aren't locked in at setup and can be refined as an animation develops. The clean workflow is designed with motion designers in mind.
