Converts Photoshop shape layers and masks into native After Effects shape layers.

What PS Shape to AE Shape does

PS Shape to AE Shape is a script that handles a common handoff gap between Photoshop and After Effects. Vector shapes and masks that arrive from a PSD are not always editable as After Effects shapes, and this tool converts them for you.

After conversion you can choose to delete the original layer or simply hide it. It works with After Effects from CC 2014 through 2025, making it a quick fix for designers who build artwork in Photoshop and then animate it.
