Why we like it

Earns its place in the Blender extensions library as a focused utility that surfaces image dimensions where you're already working, with per-editor styling controls. A known open issue notes that label positioning can break on Retina displays or when a node sits in a frame.

What is Image Dimensions Viewer?

Image Dimensions Viewer adds a dimensions label above each Image Node in Blender's Node Editor, and a label above or below the image in the Image Editor. In the Node Editor the label appears when an Image Node has a selected image, and visibility is handled through the Overlays dropdown, where the Image Dimensions checkbox toggles the labels on and off.

Styling lives under Edit, Preferences, Add-ons, with separate settings for each editor. The Node Editor overlay covers font size, padding, corner radius, X and Y offset, background color and text color. The Image Editor overlay adds a vertical offset and an origin option that places the label below or above the image, alongside font size, padding, corner radius, and background and text colors.

The add-on works with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, requires no special permissions, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It sits at version 1.0.0, published in March 2026.

Who is Image Dimensions Viewer best for?

Image Dimensions Viewer is best for blender users who want image dimensions displayed directly in the Node Editor or Image Editor.

How much does Image Dimensions Viewer cost?

Image Dimensions Viewer is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Image Dimensions Viewer work with Blender 4.2?

Image Dimensions Viewer is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so recent Blender releases can run it. The add-on is at version 1.0.0, published in March 2026, and requires no special permissions to install. If you're on a version older than 4.2 LTS, it isn't listed as supported, so upgrading Blender is the way to use it. For problems, the developer directs users to the project's GitHub issues page.

How do I install Image Dimensions Viewer?

Image Dimensions Viewer can be added by dragging and dropping the add-on directly into Blender, or by downloading it and using Install from Disk through Blender's extensions preferences. The download is a small zip, around 4.8 KB in size. Once installed, the dimension labels are controlled through the Overlays dropdown in the Node Editor and Image Editor, where the Image Dimensions checkbox turns the labels on. No special permissions are needed.

Why don't the dimension labels show up in Image Dimensions Viewer?

Image Dimensions Viewer shows a label above each Image Node in the Node Editor, but only when that node has a selected image. If labels don't appear, open the Overlays dropdown and set the Image Dimensions checkbox to True. When they still don't show, clicking the checkbox a few more times or relaunching Blender is suggested. In the Image Editor the label sits below the image by default, and the same steps apply if it's missing.

Can I change the look of the dimension labels in Image Dimensions Viewer?

Image Dimensions Viewer exposes styling values under Edit, Preferences, Add-ons. For the Node Editor overlay you can adjust font size, padding, corner radius, X and Y offset, background color and text color. The Image Editor overlay offers font size, padding, corner radius, a vertical offset, an origin setting to place the label below or above the image, plus background and text colors. Each editor is configured separately, so the two labels can be styled independently.

Is Image Dimensions Viewer free to use?

Image Dimensions Viewer is listed as free here in the catalog, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For current licensing details, check the developer's page or the project's GitHub repository. The add-on requires no special permissions and is a small download, so there's little overhead to trying it inside a Blender 4.2 LTS or newer setup.
