About Battle Axe Overlord
Battle Axe Overlord is an After Effects plugin that transfers artwork between After Effects, Illustrator, Figma and Photoshop in both directions. It preserves adjustment layers, masks, clipping masks, layer styles, text attributes (font, weight, style) and gradients. On the layout side it handles pre‑comping, group compilation, parametric rectangles and ellipses, and matches Illustrator artboards to After Effects compositions. The Photoshop connection adds image scale selection and image sequence export, and the plugin respects After Effects light mode. Compatibility requires After Effects and Illustrator CC2022 or newer, the current version of Figma, and runs on both Apple Silicon and Windows platforms.
