SVG2AE earns its place in the aescripts library as a focused, free way to bring SVG files into After Effects as shape layers, with a 2.0 update that broadened it to multiple-file import.
SVG2AE is a plugin from GothLab that imports SVG files directly into your After Effects comp as shape layers. The current release, version 2.0, arrived on September 25, 2025.
Version 2.0 introduced multiple SVG import and a click-to-select option for choosing several files, alongside an interface update and code improvements. An earlier 1.1 update fixed an issue where certain SVG files were not converting.
Compatibility runs across a wide span of After Effects releases, from CS3 through the 2026 version. That range includes CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC, CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2015.3, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, and every release from 2020 through 2025. A demo video is available on the developer's page, and SVG2AE is listed here as free.
SVG2AE is best for after Effects users who need to bring SVG vector files into a composition as shape layers, including batches of multiple files.
SVG2AE is completely free to download and use.
SVG2AE supports After Effects 2026 along with a long list of earlier versions, including 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, plus the CC releases back through CC 2014 and the older CS3, CS4, CS5, CS5.5, and CS6 versions. That broad range means most After Effects installations, old or current, can run it. For the definitive, up-to-date compatibility list, check the developer's page before installing.
SVG2AE added multiple SVG import in version 2.0, released on September 25, 2025, so you can bring in more than one file in a single pass. The same update introduced a click-to-select option for choosing several files. Version 2.0 also included an interface update and code improvements. If you were on an earlier version, the 1.1 update from January 2024 fixed an issue where certain SVG files were not converting.
SVG2AE is listed here as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so for the current terms it's best to check GothLab's page on aescripts before installing. Beyond that, SVG2AE's job is straightforward: it imports SVG files directly into an After Effects comp as shape layers, and version 2.0 expanded that to handle multiple files at once, along with a click-to-select option for choosing several files.
SVG2AE version 2.0, dated September 25, 2025, introduced multiple SVG import and a click-to-select option for picking several files at once. It also shipped an interface update and code improvements.
