Accurate Placement
After the split, the position of each letter is accurately preserved! But TextExploder doesn’t just “hide” letters from the text – you get truly “clean” text layers that only contain the text you see, with no expressions, text animators or other tricks.

New in V3: Per Character Text Styles
Text Exploder finally supports texts with more than one color, font or other text styles. This feature requires Ae 24.3 or newer.

Also Included in Squash & Stretch Pro
A fully-functional version of TextExploder V2 is also included in the Pro version of our Squash & Stretch product. In contrast to the standalone version, the version included in Squash & Stretch Pro is integrated into the user interface of Squash & Stretch and has no KBar or Scripting API support. It also does not support the per character text styles of TextExploder V3, yet.
