About this plugin

Generate evenly balanced columns from long form text


✨ To Use

  • Run the plugin
  • Select a text element
  • Update settings as needed in the plugin
  • Click 'Create Columns'


Notes

  • This plugin will work on any text element
  • It is recommended to use saved text, color, and effect styles so text is formatted properly. Mixed typography styles/links will be ignored
  • The Prioritise Paragraphs option ensures paragraphs are not split
  • The Prioritise Even Split option ensures each column is evenly balanced regardless of line breaks
  • Option to remove line breaks from text


❌ If you encounter any errors ❌

  • Mixed text styles and hyperlinks are not supported
  • Invisible/zero width characters can also cause errors (this happens if you work between Mac and PC or Word and Figma, where invisible characters can carry across)
