The Map Range feature maps input and output values, while Multiplier and Offset controls fine‑tune the result. Formatting options include prefixes, suffixes and symbols, and all numbers remain fully editable through layer controls after creation. Number Maker runs on After Effects 2022 through 2026, and the current release is version 1.3.0 (February 14 2026). The plug‑in is listed as free in this catalog.
