About
Overlord is a desktop application that bridges Illustrator, Figma, and Photoshop with After Effects, enabling seamless transfer of layers, text, gradients, masks, and other design elements without reimporting files. It creates editable After Effects layers from source design files, preserving styling, clipping, and typography ready for animation. The tool runs entirely locally, keeping all artwork private on the user's machine.
Problem
Transferring design files from Illustrator, Figma, or Photoshop into After Effects loses editability and requires tedious manual rebuilding.
For
Motion designers and visual artists working across Illustrator, Figma, Photoshop, and After Effects
How it works
Overlord runs as a desktop app that locally bridges design tools to After Effects, converting source layers into native, editable Ae layers with preserved gradients, text, masks, and styles.
