Why we like it

SlabText earns a spot in the aescripts library as a focused typography script: it handles one job, aligning paragraph line widths, and does it across three Adobe applications.

What is SlabText?

SlabText is a script from Froggy Team that aligns the width of each line within your paragraphs. It runs across After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop, and preserves the original formatting of the text it adjusts.

The script offers several modes and an adjustable threshold between scale and tracking, so you control how each line is adjusted. Leading is adjustable, and automatic coloring is included. A clearing option removes the transformation, and dedicated Start SlabText and Clear SlabText commands drive the workflow.

SlabText is compatible with After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop versions 2024 through 2026. The current release is version 1.0.1, updated in January 2025, which fixed an error reading Preferences.json. A demo video is available on the developer's page, and the catalog lists SlabText as free.
