Installation
TexelPack ships in two formats so it installs cleanly on every supported Blender version, from 3.6 LTS to 5.x.
Which file do I download?
| Blender version | Format | File |
|---|---|---|
| 4.2 and newer | Extension (recommended) | texelpack_vX.Y.Z_extension.zip |
| 3.6 LTS – 4.1 | Legacy add-on | texelpack_vX.Y.Z.zip |
Blender 4.2 or newer (extension)
- Download
texelpack_vX.Y.Z_extension.zip. - Drag and drop the zip into Blender — or go to Edit → Preferences → Get Extensions → Install from Disk…
- TexelPack is enabled automatically. Open the UV Editor and press N to find the TexelPack tab.
Blender 3.6 LTS – 4.1 (legacy add-on)
- Download
texelpack_vX.Y.Z.zip. - Open Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install… and select the zip.
- Tick the checkbox next to TexelPack to enable it.
⚠️
Upgrading from “UV Packer Pro”? Remove the old add-on first (Preferences → Add-ons → uninstall the uv_packer_pro module), then install TexelPack. Blender treats them as two separate add-ons, so installing without removing the old one can register duplicate panels.
Verifying the install
- Open the UV Editor, press N, and confirm a TexelPack tab appears in the side panel.
- The Add-ons / Extensions preferences entry shows the installed version — match it against the file you downloaded.
No external dependencies
TexelPack runs entirely on Blender's bundled Python interpreter. There is nothing to pip install and no internet connection required after download.
