With over 21,000 downloads, Grease Pencil QuickTools earns its place in the Blender extensions library by gathering common Grease Pencil operations, tapering, aligning, interpolating and more, into one N sidebar panel with automatic mode switching.
Grease Pencil QuickTools is a Blender add-on that groups the most frequently used Grease Pencil tools into the N sidebar. When you pick a quick tool, it automatically switches to the correct mode, and it unifies brush colors across those tools.
The panel bundles a range of operators. QuickTaper tapers point thickness on selected strokes, with SHIFT to taper in only and CTRL to taper out only. QuickAlign aligns selected points horizontally or vertically, and QuickText adds text as strokes in provided styles, with custom styles built via a gptext_maker.blend file. Interpolate Stroke interpolates position, colors, opacity and thickness between keyframes; Snapigon draws polygons that snap points to others on the current frame. Quick Stroke Settings adjusts hardness, opacity, radius, fill opacity and rotation through mouse-wheel and modifier combinations, while SubMerge subdivides and merges points by distance. Knife, Color Picker, Select Linked and Set Fill Color complete the set.
Compatible with Blender 4.3 and newer, version 1.1.7 added text fonts for Blender 5, better color matching and compatibility bug fixes. It's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and requires no special permissions.
Grease Pencil QuickTools_ is best for blender artists working with Grease Pencil who want frequently used tools grouped in the N sidebar with automatic mode switching.
Grease Pencil QuickTools_ is completely free to download and use.
Grease Pencil QuickTools is compatible with Blender 4.3 and newer. You can install it like other Blender extensions by dragging and dropping the add-on into Blender, or by downloading it and installing from disk. Once enabled, its tools appear in the N sidebar. Version 1.1.7 added text fonts for Blender 5, along with better color matching and compatibility bug fixes. For the current compatibility status, check the developer's page.
Grease Pencil QuickTools includes Quick Stroke Settings, which changes properties of selected strokes using the mouse wheel and modifier keys. Scrolling the wheel adjusts hardness, SHIFT plus the wheel adjusts opacity, CTRL plus the wheel adjusts radius, and SHIFT plus CTRL adjusts fill opacity. Holding ALT adjusts rotation, letting you tune several stroke settings from the same interaction rather than opening individual controls one at a time.
Grease Pencil QuickTools version 1.1.7 added text 'fonts' for Blender 5, improved color matching, and included compatibility bug fixes. This is the version listed here, updated in January 2025, and it supports Blender 4.3 and newer. Earlier releases can be found in the add-on's version history, and for the full list of changes across releases the developer's page is the best reference. The extension also requires no special permissions when installed in Blender.
Grease Pencil QuickTools includes QuickText, which adds text as strokes in several provided styles. To make your own style, the add-on references a gptext_maker.blend file for creating custom text styles. Version 1.1.7 also added text 'fonts' for Blender 5, so more type options are available in recent Blender releases. These text options sit alongside the add-on's other tools in the N sidebar, where selecting a quick tool automatically switches to the correct mode. For details on building styles, the developer's page is the best reference.
Grease Pencil QuickTools is listed as free here, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. That license covers how you can use, modify, and redistribute the add-on. It also does not require special permissions in Blender when installed. For the current licensing terms and any changes, the developer's page is the place to confirm.
