Stands out in the superhive library for its resolution-independent bloom and glare, which keeps effect sizes consistent across output resolutions.
Uber Compositor is a Blender add-on that brings a collection of common image effects to your renders, including vignetting, lens dirt, film grain, glare and bloom, exposure and color temperature, plus more. It's built to be easy to use and fully controllable, and it works with all scenes and styles.
Its bloom and glare are resolution-independent: the sizes are relative to the image size rather than absolute pixel sizes. As a result, the difference between glare at 50% and at 100% resolution stays minimal and mostly unnoticeable, unlike Blender's default glare nodes, which can produce different results under different conditions.
The add-on is compatible with Blender versions 3.5 through 4.5, with update 1.4 adding Blender 4.5 compatibility and a film grain improvement. It ships under a royalty-free license, includes documentation, and the developer donates 10% of revenue to the Blender Development Fund. A demo video is available.
Uber Compositor is best for blender artists who want to add common post-processing effects to their renders quickly.
Uber Compositor is completely free to download and use.
Uber Compositor supports Blender versions 3.5 through 4.5. Update 1.4 added Blender 4.5 compatibility along with a film grain improvement. It's listed as Blender Extension compatible and ships as an add-on, so it covers recent Blender releases across that range. If you're on a build outside 3.5 to 4.5, check the developer's page before installing to confirm the add-on behaves as expected on your version.
Uber Compositor uses resolution-independent bloom and glare, meaning their sizes are relative to the image size rather than absolute pixel sizes. In practice, the difference between a glare rendered at 50% resolution and one at 100% stays minimal and mostly unnoticeable. This contrasts with Blender's default glare nodes, which can produce different results under different conditions. The approach keeps the look consistent when you change output resolution.
Uber Compositor is listed as free here in our catalog. Pricing and licensing can change, so check the developer's page for the current terms. The add-on is offered under a royalty-free license, and the developer notes that 10% of revenue is donated to the Blender Development Fund. For the latest licensing details, refer to the developer's page before relying on it for a project.
Uber Compositor includes documentation among its listed features, and the add-on is described as easy to use and fully controllable. It works with all scenes and styles, adding common image effects such as vignetting, lens dirt, film grain, glare and bloom to renders. A demo video is also available. For the full documentation and setup details, head to the developer's page.
