Version 1.0.1 filters orphaned and fake-user-only data-block file references out of actionable preflight dependencies, and applies the same real-user filtering to linked-library dependency scans, so Blender-reported paths do not resurface as unhandled blockers.
Blend Project Packer checks a saved .blend file, collects render-critical files, rewrites fragile paths in a scratch copy, and assembles a portable project folder or zip. It runs offline, requests only file access, and leaves your working file untouched.
The add-on handles outside-project textures, images, movie clips, sounds, fonts, and VDB volumes, along with image sequences and UDIM tiles. It packs linked .blend libraries and their dependencies, plus Alembic, CacheFile, Mesh Cache, Multires, and baked simulation caches. It also detects missing files, unbaked simulations, and cleanup warnings, addresses render and compositor output paths that point outside the project, and reads render-time add-on signals with optional user-reviewed add-on bundling.
Folder output is the default so you can inspect the packed project immediately, while zip output produces a single archive when needed. Every package includes blend-project-pack.json, a local manifest with dependency graph data, copied files, path rewrites, cache moves, checksums, add-on decisions, and warnings. The extension works offline and cannot upload files by itself.
Blend Project Packer is best for blender users preparing portable, self-contained project folders or archives that gather render-critical files and dependencies from a saved .blend.
Blend Project Packer is completely free to download and use.
Blend Project Packer is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. Before packing, save your .blend file, as the add-on checks a saved project, collects render-critical files, and rewrites fragile paths in a scratch copy rather than your working file. Folder output is the default so you can inspect the packed project immediately, and zip output is available when you need a single archive. For the latest version details and any compatibility notes, check the developer's page.
Blend Project Packer can be added by dragging and dropping it into Blender, or by downloading the add-on and using Install from Disk through Blender's extensions preferences. The extension requests a single permission: file access, used to read scene assets and write portable folders or zip archives. Once installed, it works on a saved .blend file and leaves your working file unchanged during packing. Refer to the developer's page and Blender's documentation for the current installation steps.
Blend Project Packer works offline and cannot upload your files by itself anywhere. It requests only file access, which it uses to read scene assets and write portable folders or zip archives. Each package it produces includes blend-project-pack.json, a local manifest recording dependency graph data, copied files, path rewrites, cache moves, checksums, add-on decisions, and warnings, so the packing record stays on your machine. Consult the developer's page for further detail on how the extension handles data.
Blend Project Packer is listed as free here and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For current licensing terms and any updates, check the developer's page. The add-on is a compact download and targets Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, gathering render-critical assets and dependencies into a portable folder or zip. Because it runs offline and leaves your working file unchanged, you can test its packing output without affecting the original project.
