Stroky earns its place in the aescripts library for a focused job: adding countless strokes with perfect corners and unlimited width to layers, all while leaving existing effects intact. The one-click workflow and single-place animation controls make it a tidy option for artists who add strokes often.
Stroky is an After Effects plugin from Matin Kazerooni for adding strokes to layers. With a single click, it applies strokes to any object—PNG layers, shape layers, text layers, and more—and can add countless strokes to a single object. Each stroke can be created with perfect corners and unlimited width.
A key detail is that Stroky creates strokes while keeping a layer's existing effects intact, so you don't have to strip away what's already applied. Once strokes are in place, you can animate them easily from one place, keeping the related controls grouped together rather than spread across the layer.
Stroky is compatible with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, covering recent and older releases. The current version, 1.3, was released on December 18, 2025, updating the license framework and setting the default color in the color palette UI to white. A demo video is available for a closer look.
Stroky is best for after Effects artists who need to add strokes—single or countless—to PNG, shape, or text layers with perfect corners and unlimited width, without disturbing existing effects.
Stroky is completely free to download and use.
Stroky supports After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, so it runs across recent releases and several older ones. Version 1.3, released December 18, 2025, updated the license framework and changed the default color in the color palette UI to white. The earlier version 1.2 fixed issues with After Effects 2025. If you work across multiple machines or older projects, that version range covers a wide span of After Effects installs. Check the developer's page to confirm details for your specific setup.
Stroky adds strokes to any object with a single click, including PNG layers, shape layers, and text layers, among others. You can add countless strokes to one object, and each stroke can have perfect corners and unlimited width. The strokes are created while keeping the layer's existing effects intact, so applying Stroky doesn't require removing what's already on the layer. All strokes can be animated from one place, which keeps adjustments together rather than scattered across separate controls.
Stroky is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it to After Effects without a purchase here. Because licensing and distribution terms can change over time, check the developer's page for the current details before you download. Version 1.3 also updated the license framework, so the developer's page is the most reliable place to confirm how the plugin is licensed today. A demo video is also available if you want to see more before installing.
Stroky lets you animate strokes easily in one place, so the controls for a layer's strokes stay grouped together. You can add countless strokes to a single object, each with perfect corners and unlimited width, and animate them from that same location. Because the strokes are created while keeping the layer's existing effects intact, animating strokes works alongside whatever effects the layer already carries. A demo video is available if you'd like to look further.
