Earns its place in the blender_extensions library for turning bulk image imports into ready-to-use texture paint and sculpt brushes, complete with previews and asset browser entries. The 1.0.1 update widened compatibility down to Blender 4.4 without changing features.
Batch Import Images to Brushes converts collections of image files into working Blender brushes for Texture Paint and Sculpt modes. After you select your files through File > Import > Images as Brushes, the add-on creates the textures, brush data blocks, and preview thumbnails automatically. Multi-file selection handles hundreds of images in one pass, and duplicate detection skips brushes that already exist.
Supported formats include PNG, JPEG, JPEG2000, BMP, TIFF, TARGA, WEBP, and HDR. You can create texture paint brushes, sculpt brushes, or both at once, and adjust size, strength, and tool type per mode along with texture controls for alpha calculation, inversion, and interpolation. Smart naming preserves original filenames or adds custom prefixes and suffixes. Each brush gets a 256x256 thumbnail and is marked as an asset, so it appears in the asset browser with a preview.
Images are packed into the .blend file, leaving no external file dependencies after import. The add-on works with Blender 4.4.0 and newer on Windows, macOS, and Linux, using Blender's built-in Python with no extra dependencies. Version 1.0.1 lowered the minimum Blender requirement from 5.1 to 4.4.
Batch Import Images to Brushes is best for texture artists, sculptors, character artists, and environment artists importing large collections of alpha textures, skin details, or custom brush stamps into Blender as ready-to-use brushes.
Batch Import Images to Brushes is completely free to download and use.
Batch Import Images to Brushes runs in Blender 4.4.0 and newer, across Windows, macOS, and Linux. The 1.0.1 release lowered the minimum requirement from Blender 5.1 to 4.4, a compatibility-only change with no new features. It works with Blender's extension system, so brushes appear in the asset browser with proper previews. It relies on Blender's built-in Python and needs no external dependencies, keeping setup straightforward on any supported platform.
Batch Import Images to Brushes accepts a range of image formats: PNG, JPEG, JPEG2000, BMP, TIFF, TARGA, WEBP, and HDR. You can select multiple files at once and import hundreds of images in a single pass. PNG files with transparency work best for alpha brushes, and square images give even brush scaling. Non-square images are automatically centered in a square canvas, and each brush gets a 256x256 preview thumbnail generated from the source image.
Batch Import Images to Brushes installs as a Blender extension: download the .zip, open Edit > Preferences > Extensions, choose Install from Disk from the dropdown menu, select the file, and enable it in the Extensions list. It can also be set up as a legacy add-on by extracting the folder into your Blender addons directory. Once enabled, you import through File > Import > Images as Brushes, pick your files, choose the brush type, and adjust size, strength, and naming options.
Batch Import Images to Brushes is listed as free here and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For current licensing terms and the latest release, check the developer's page on GitHub. The add-on requires no special permissions and has no external dependencies beyond Blender's built-in Python. Images are packed into the .blend file after import, so there are no outside file dependencies to manage once brushes are created.
Batch Import Images to Brushes lets you assign a sculpt tool when creating sculpt brushes, with options for Draw, Clay, Smooth, Crease, Flatten, and Fill. You can also set strength on a 0.0 to 2.0 scale and size as a brush radius from 1 to 500 pixels, configured per mode. Texture controls cover alpha calculation, inversion, and interpolation. When you choose Both, the add-on generates texture paint and sculpt versions of each brush at the same time.
