Why we like it

Earns its place in the aescripts library for consolidating per-corner shape styling — square, squircled, rounded, bevelled, and inverted — into one After Effects tool, with preset saving and anchor-point control added in later updates.

What is Square Peg?

Square Peg brings individual corner controls to After Effects, letting you handle each corner of a shape on its own. Corners can be set to square, squircled, rounded, bevelled, or inverted styles.

Version 1.1.1 adds the ability to shift a shape's anchor point so its width and height grow from a different point, and an option to unlock individual corner roundness beyond half of the shorter side length. The same update lets you save fill and stroke color along with presets, and adds a quick access manual to the UI. Earlier releases fixed preset saving in After Effects Beta and updated UI styling to match the application's appearance themes.

The plugin lists compatibility with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023. It sits in the aescripts library, and the developer's page there carries the current version, changelog, and licensing details.
