Texto

One-click text animation for After Effects. Texto turns tedious text animation into a single click. Select a text layer, pick a direction on the diamond pad, and get a clean reveal by letter, word, or line. Add a spring bounce, swap the direction, fine tune everything live, then save your best looks as presets you can reuse and share.

Description

Text animation in After Effects, one click away.

Texto builds per-letter, per-word and per-line reveals directly on your text layers, with no keyframing, no precomps and no expressions to write. Every animation lands as live, editable controls, and any look you like can be saved as a shareable preset.

Texto diamond pad, one-click directional text reveals
Diamond Pad

Pick a direction

Select a text layer, then click a side of the pad. Left-click builds an In animation, right-click an Out. Texto reveals your text from that direction, ready to preview right away.

Animate by letters, words or lines
Based On

Letters, words, or lines

Choose how the reveal moves through your text. If a layer is already animated, right-click a segment to re-scope it in place. Nothing needs rebuilding.

Texto properties, position, scale, rotation, opacity
Properties

Shape the motion

Set position, scale, rotation, and opacity from the panel, by scrubbing or typing. Everything stays on the layer as grouped controls, so timing, easing, and spacing remain editable long after you apply.

Spring bounce text animation
Bounce

Add a natural spring

Turn on Bounce and the reveal settles with a physical overshoot. Frequency, amplitude, decay, and delay are all adjustable, from subtle to lively.

Swap animation direction
Swap

Reverse the flow

Run any animation last to first instead of first to last. It works on new animations and on layers you've already built. One right-click flips the direction in place.

Randomize, roll a new text animation
Randomize

Explore a variation

Click the dice to generate a new mix of direction, motion, and timing. A quick way to find looks you might not have set up by hand.

Save any look as a Texto preset
Save

Keep the looks you build

Save any animation, with its easing, spacing, and grouping intact, into your own libraries. Rename, reorder, export, and import as JSON to move presets between machines or share them.

Built-in Presets

Start from a library

Texto ships with 9 presets across three libraries: smooth, clean, and poppy. Click one to apply the full In and Out pair, then adjust anything. Every preset stays editable.
