Why we like it

ShapeKeyPro earns its place in the Super Hive library as a dedicated shape key manager, pulling batch operations, filtering, color-coded groups, transfer methods, and visual tools into a single Blender panel. It's a recent release from Kaif.3D, backed by documentation and direct support.

What is Shapekeypro?

ShapeKeyPro is a Blender add-on from Kaif.3D for managing shape keys, bringing batch operations, organization, and visual tools together in a single panel. Its batch processing covers blend and merge, batch rename, value gradients, batch delete and duplicate, mirror and flip, reset, and mute or unmute, letting you act on many shape keys at once.

Beyond batch work, the add-on includes advanced filtering with real-time search and combined criteria, color-coded groups with master controls, and a thumbnail generator that produces customizable thumbnails and tile sheets. Smart Transfer provides four transfer methods with automatic topology analysis and scale compensation, while Advanced Mirror works across any axis with directional control, smart naming, topology-based matching, and selected vertices. Live Amplify pushes shape keys with real-time preview to create exaggerated expressions from subtle deformations.

ShapeKeyPro supports Blender 3.6 through 5.0 as a Blender Extension compatible add-on, and comes with documentation. A demo video is available.

Who is Shapekeypro best for?

Shapekeypro is best for blender artists working with large numbers of shape keys on complex character rigs who want batch editing, organization, and transfer tools in one panel.

How much does Shapekeypro cost?

Shapekeypro is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does ShapeKeyPro support?

ShapeKeyPro supports Blender versions 3.6 through 5.0 and is listed as a Blender Extension compatible add-on. The version 1.0.1 update, released July 29, 2025, confirmed compatibility with Blender 3.6.0 and up, so it covers a wide span of releases from 3.6 onward. If you are running a version within that range, the add-on is intended to work; for anything outside it or for the latest confirmed details, check the developer's page before installing.

What transfer methods does ShapeKeyPro include?

ShapeKeyPro includes a Smart Transfer feature with four intelligent transfer methods, backed by automatic topology analysis and scale compensation. Alongside transfer, the add-on offers Advanced Mirror, which works across any axis with directional control, smart naming, topology-based matching, and support for selected vertices. Batch operations also include mirror and flip across multiple shape keys at once. Together these give you several ways to move and mirror shape key data, though the developer's documentation is the place to see how each method behaves in detail.

What changed in ShapeKeyPro version 1.0.1?

ShapeKeyPro version 1.0.1, released July 29, 2025, extended compatibility to Blender versions 3.6.0 and up. The update also fixed two issues: Shift+Create now works properly when in Edit mode, and Amplify no longer applies changes automatically when entering Edit mode. These are the changes noted for this release, so the update focuses on compatibility and bug fixes. For the full changelog and any releases beyond 1.0.1, the developer's page is the best reference.

Is ShapeKeyPro free?

ShapeKeyPro is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and availability can change over time, so for the current terms and any purchase details it is best to check the developer's page directly. The add-on comes with complete documentation and direct support from Kaif.3D, which are worth reviewing before you commit. Treat the pricing you see here as a catalog listing rather than a live quote, and confirm the latest on the creator's own store page.

Can ShapeKeyPro create documentation images for shape keys?

ShapeKeyPro includes a thumbnail generator that produces customizable thumbnails and tile sheets for your shape keys, intended for creating documentation. It sits alongside the add-on's group management, where shape keys are organized into color-coded groups with master controls. A demo video is available if you want to see the add-on before installing, and the developer's documentation covers the generator's options in more detail. This makes it useful for keeping large sets of shape keys documented and organized within one panel.
