What is Imagepaste?

Imagepaste is a Blender add-on for moving images between the system clipboard and several areas of Blender. It pastes images from the clipboard into different editors and can copy images from Blender back to the clipboard.

Within Blender, it can paste into the 3D Viewport, to and from the Image Editor, into the Shader Editor as nodes, and into the Video Editor. Pasted images can take the form of a plane, a node, a reference image, or an image in the Image Editor. Documentation is provided by the developer.

The add-on is also offered free on the developer's Gumroad, and it supports Blender versions from 2.8 through 3.3. The developer notes it is no longer actively updated, so it may or may not work in every version, and recommends testing before relying on it. A demo video is available.

Who is Imagepaste best for?

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Imagepaste support?

Imagepaste lists support for Blender 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, which spans a wide range of older releases. The developer notes the add-on is no longer actively updated, so it may or may not work in a given version, and recommends testing several versions once before relying on it. Multiple releases are available on GitHub if you need to try a specific build against your Blender installation.

Is Imagepaste still being updated?

Imagepaste is no longer actively maintained, according to the developer, who states it may or may not work and suggests testing multiple versions before use. Several releases and updates are hosted on GitHub, so you can pick a build that matches your setup. For questions, suggestions, or bug reports, the developer points users to Twitter, a Discord server, or opening an issue on GitHub.

Is Imagepaste free to use?

Imagepaste is listed as free in this catalog. The developer also offers it for free on Gumroad and notes that buying through the paid listing works as a donation rather than a requirement. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before downloading. If you want to support the work, the paid option remains available, but access to the add-on itself does not depend on it.

What license is Imagepaste released under?

Imagepaste is released under the GPL license. For the full terms, including any conditions on use, modification, or redistribution, refer to the license text on the developer's page or the GitHub repository where the releases are hosted. GPL is a widely used open-source license, and the same designation applies across the add-on's listed releases. Check the developer's page for the most current details before downloading.
