Stands out in the Blender extensions library for a narrow, practical job: keeping UV placements intact through topology edits, all from a small footprint in the N-panel.
K3D UV Islands Keeper, developed by Manuel-SEILHES, is a lightweight add-on for Blender that provides multi-slot memory for UV island selections and transformations. It's built for texture artists and modelers who want their UV islands to stay exactly where they placed them.
The add-on maintains your UV layout even through topology changes, preventing accidental distortions during the modeling process. It sits in Blender's N-panel for quick access while you work. At 3.8 KB it stays small, and it requires no special permissions.
Version 1.1.2 supports Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. You can install it by dragging and dropping the file into Blender, or by downloading it and using Install from Disk. It's listed here as free; check the developer's page for current licensing.
K3D UV Islands Keeper is best for texture artists and modelers who need their UV islands to stay in place while editing mesh topology.
K3D UV Islands Keeper is completely free to download and use.
K3D UV Islands Keeper is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it runs on the 4.2 long-term-support release and later versions. Version 1.1.2 is the current release, updated in May 2026. If you're on an older Blender build, you'd need to upgrade to at least 4.2 LTS before installing. The add-on requires no special permissions, which keeps setup straightforward on supported versions.
K3D UV Islands Keeper can be installed in two ways. You can drag and drop the add-on directly into Blender, or download the file and use Blender's Install from Disk option. The download is small at 3.8 KB, and the extension requires no special permissions. Once installed, the tool sits in Blender's N-panel for quick access while you work on your UVs.
