UV Squares earns its spot in the Superhive library as a focused UV Editor tool, ranking 36 and carrying a 5-star rating across 32 reviews.
Blender's UV unwrap can leave you with a distorted shape that needs manual cleanup, selecting vertices and realigning them along an axis. UV Squares handles the reshaping inside the UV Editor, turning selected UV faces into a grid while respecting the geometry of your object.
The addon reshapes selected quads into a grid of equivalent squares, or by their shape, and respects vertical and horizontal face ratios so any selection can be stretched out. It also aligns sequenced vertices on an axis at equal distances, rips faces and single vertices, and joins selected vertices to the closest unselected vertices. Documentation is included.
Built by radivarig, UV Squares supports Blender 2.79 through 5.1 and is distributed under the GPL license. It ranks 36 in the Superhive library, and a demo video is available.
Uv Squares is best for blender artists cleaning up distorted UV unwraps by reshaping selected faces into a grid and aligning vertices in the UV Editor.
Uv Squares is completely free to download and use.
UV Squares supports Blender versions 2.79 through 5.1, covering a wide span of releases from older builds to current ones. It runs inside the UV Editor, where it reshapes selected UV faces into a grid, aligns sequenced vertices on an axis, rips faces and single vertices, and joins selected vertices to their closest unselected vertices. If you are on a version within that range, it should be compatible. For the latest confirmed version support, check the developer's page.

UV Squares is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing and pricing can change, so for current terms it is best to check the developer's page directly. The addon is distributed under the GPL license and covers Blender 2.79 through 5.1. It handles UV reshaping in the UV Editor, turning selected faces into a grid and aligning vertices, without the manual vertex-by-vertex realignment that unwrapping often requires.
UV Squares has a demo video available. For a walkthrough and full documentation, the developer's page is the place to go. The addon reshapes selected UV faces into a grid of equivalent squares or by their shape, respects vertical and horizontal face ratios, and can stretch out any selection shape, along with aligning, ripping, and joining vertices in the Blender UV Editor.
