About FontReplacer
FontReplacer changes fonts throughout an After Effects project, including mixed‑font layers, keyframed text, and expressions. Font name references inside expressions are rewritten as part of the swap. It can pull fonts from Adobe, Google Fonts, Fontsource, and Fontshare, or from a user‑specified folder of licensed files. Rules are set as source‑to‑target pairs; multiple rules can be stacked and reused across projects. The tool detects and corrects typographical errors in font names. For tracking, it gathers every used font file into a single folder and exports a CSV listing which fonts appear in which comps and layers. A full replacement history is retained for handoff and archiving. Installation occurs with a single click inside After Effects and the plugin supports versions 2022 through 2026.
