Magic UV earns its spot in the Blender Extensions library as a UV toolset carried over from Blender's 4.1 bundled add-ons, now maintained as an extension by nutti.
Magic UV is a UV toolset add-on for Blender, maintained by nutti alongside a group of contributing developers. It began as one of the add-ons bundled with Blender 4.1, and has since been repackaged as an extension that is offered as it is, with limited support.
The current release, version 6.7.1 from May 2024, fixes the conversion from add-on to extension. It runs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and is configured from the Add-ons Preferences. The extension requires no special permissions and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later.
On the Blender Extensions platform, Magic UV sits at popularity rank 27 and has accumulated more than 172,000 downloads. It carries a five-star rating across a small number of reviews. Installation follows the standard extension flow: drag and drop the file into Blender, or download it and install from disk.
Magic UV is best for blender artists working with UVs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer.
Magic UV is completely free to download and use.
Magic UV is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. It was originally one of the add-ons bundled with Blender 4.1, and after being repackaged as an extension it now targets the 4.2 LTS line and later releases. The current version, 6.7.1, was published in May 2024 and includes a fix for the conversion from add-on to extension. Because it is offered as it is with limited support, checking the developer's page is the best way to confirm behaviour on the exact Blender build you are running.
Magic UV installs through Blender's standard extension flow. You can drag and drop the downloaded file directly into Blender, or download the package and install it from disk using Blender's extension installation option. Once added, the toolset is configured from the Add-ons Preferences, where its details and options are listed. The extension requires no special permissions to run. It weighs around 101.9 KB, so the download and install steps stay quick on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer.
Magic UV is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. The extension also requires no special permissions when added to Blender. It is maintained by nutti, with a list of original authors credited on the developer's page, and is offered as it is with limited support. For the full license text and any current terms, the developer's page on the Blender Extensions platform is the authoritative reference.
