Pink Fix Lite is a free Blender add-on that fixes pink, missing textures. It scans the file for every missing external file, finds where it went and relinks it, including files that were renamed or changed extension.
WHY FULLLite stops at 10 relinks per .blend, 3 per session outside the demo folder, and meshes up to 100 vertices. Full has no relink or mesh cap, and clears a 1,000-image file in about 6 to 8 seconds and the 15-file showcase scene in one Apply ($15).
Remove Lite, install Full, done.
- Scan: every missing image (incl. UDIM tiles and image sequences), movie clip, linked library, font and sound, and which material, node and object uses it
- Match: several search folders at once. Exact name, then letter case, then the same name with another extension (.jpg → .png), then similar names with a confidence score
- Suggestions you decide: similar-name matches stay unticked; ambiguous ones are flagged
- Dry Run, then Apply: files in the demo folder relink freely (up to 10 per .blend); anywhere else, 3 relinks per Blender session. Only on files whose meshes total up to 100 vertices (the demo size). Relative (//) paths kept. Ctrl+Z undoes it
- Quick Start: one click adds a plane whose 6 textures were moved, ready to fix
- Install: Edit › Preferences › Get Extensions › Install from Disk, and pick the zip.
- Press N in the 3D viewport and open the Pink Fix tab. Click Add Demo.
- Click Scan, Match and Accept All. Tick the renamed fabric texture (a suggestion, so it stays unticked), then Apply.
- On your own file: Scan, add the folders your textures may be in, then Match and Apply.
- Lite is sized for the demo. Real projects need the full version.
- Tick a suggestion only after checking its path in Details.
- Demo: 6 missing → 0 (3 exact, 1 letter case, 1 other extension, 1 renamed)
- Blender 4.2 LTS to 5.2; Windows, macOS and Linux
- No network connections
Lite stays free. The full Pink Fix is a separate paid add-on; search Pink Fix under Add-ons here on Blendkit.
- Unlimited relinks
- Collect & Pack: one self-contained project folder that opens with nothing missing on another computer
- Export Report: CSV or text list of every path and what happened to it
Remove Lite before installing the full version.
