Node Editor Pro earns its place in the Blender Extensions library as a focused node-editor utility: grid organization, snapping, a notes node, statistics, and shortcuts, all in a small add-on that needs no special permissions.
Node Editor Pro is a Blender add-on aimed at the node editor. It aligns and organizes your node tree into a clean grid, working on the entire tree or only the selected nodes, and it can remove orphan nodes to tidy up the layout. Live snapping helps with more precise node placement as you move things around.
Beyond layout, the add-on adds a Notes node, a simple node you can use to keep a node tree clearer and more organized. An Automatic Statistics tool reports live figures from the tree: total nodes, number of connections, orphan count, and maximum depth. Built-in shortcuts let you organize, snap, and clean the tree with a single keystroke.
The panel lives in the Shader Editor sidebar (N) under Shader Editor Pro. Version 0.5.0 is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It ranks 568 on the Blender Extensions platform.
Node Editor Pro is best for blender users who want to keep node trees in the Shader Editor tidy by aligning them into a grid, snapping nodes into place, removing orphans, and tracking node-tree statistics.
Node Editor Pro is completely free to download and use.
Node Editor Pro is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it runs on the current LTS release and later versions. The listed build is version 0.5.0, updated on August 31st, 2025. It's distributed through the Blender Extensions platform, where you can drag and drop it into Blender or install it from disk. If you're on an older Blender release, you'd want to check the developer's page before installing, since 4.2 LTS is the stated minimum.
Node Editor Pro appears in the Shader Editor: open the sidebar with N and look under the Shader Editor Pro tab. From there you can align and organize the node tree into a grid, either the whole tree or just selected nodes, turn on live snapping, and remove orphan nodes. The same panel gives access to the Notes node and the Automatic Statistics tool. Built-in shortcuts let you organize, snap, and clean the tree with a single keystroke once the add-on is enabled.
Node Editor Pro includes an Automatic Statistics tool that reports live figures from your node tree. It shows the total number of nodes, the number of connections, the orphan count, and the maximum depth of the tree. These readouts come from the current tree, giving you a running view of its structure. The add-on can also remove orphan nodes directly, and align or organize the tree into a clean grid, so the statistics sit next to the tools that act on them within the Shader Editor sidebar.
Node Editor Pro is listed here as free, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The extension states that it does not require special permissions. For the most current licensing and any usage terms, check the developer's page and the project's GitHub repository, where issues and version history are tracked. Licensing on extension platforms can change over time, so confirming there before you rely on it in a project is worthwhile.
