Why we like it

Frame Range Renderer stands out in the Blender extensions library as a lightweight, focused add-on for rendering selected frames and frame ranges.

What is Frame Range Renderer?

Frame Range Renderer is a small Blender extension by AndreasResch for rendering specific frames or frame ranges. It integrates with the Output panel, where you can select individual frames and/or frame ranges to render.

Rendering is handled as a background task. Output images are written to disk, which is the permission the extension requests when installed. The add-on is compact, at roughly 7.9 KB, and concentrates on this single rendering task rather than adding broader functionality.

The extension is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It can be added by dragging and dropping into Blender, or by downloading and installing from disk. Version 1.0.0 was published in February 2026 as the initial release.

Who is Frame Range Renderer best for?

Frame Range Renderer is best for blender users who need to render specific frames or frame ranges from the Output panel.

How much does Frame Range Renderer cost?

Frame Range Renderer is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Frame Range Renderer work with Blender 4.2?

Frame Range Renderer is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it works with Blender 4.2 as well as later releases. The current version is 1.0.0, published in February 2026 as the initial release. If you are running an older build of Blender, you would need to update to at least the 4.2 LTS line to use the extension. Compatibility details and any future updates can be checked on the developer's page.

How do I install Frame Range Renderer?

Frame Range Renderer can be installed by dragging and dropping the extension into Blender, or by downloading the file and installing it from disk. The download is small, at roughly 7.9 KB. Once installed, the extension requests permission to write output images to disk, since rendering produces image files. After installation, you can render individual frames and frame ranges directly from the Output panel. Refer to the developer's page for the download and any additional installation guidance.

What license is Frame Range Renderer released under?

Frame Range Renderer is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. In this catalog the extension is listed as free, so no price is shown here. For current licensing terms and the download itself, check the developer's page. The GPL v3.0-or-later license governs how the add-on may be used, modified and redistributed. Version 1.0.0 is the initial release, published in February 2026, and is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer.

How does Frame Range Renderer handle rendering?

Frame Range Renderer performs its rendering as a background task. You select individual frames and/or frame ranges from the Output panel, and the extension renders them. The output images are written to disk, which is why the add-on requests file-writing permission when installed. This focused workflow is the core of what the extension does. For full details on behaviour and any options, see the developer's page.
