Why use Text Scatter?

Perfect for motion designers, editors, and creators who need fast, flexible, and dynamic text layouts
— all without complex setups or time-consuming adjustments.

Works seamlessly with any font or language, and includes a non-destructive workflow with a Reset button to instantly restore your layout.

The Separate action converts words into individual layers and does not preserve their exact, pixel-perfect positions.

If you need exact placement retention, consider tools specialized in that.
