Why Collection Compactor?
Tired of endless scrolling through an out-of-control collections list? With one click, tuck away every item in your selected collection—and bring it back just as easily. A Smart Display Panel keeps hidden collections searchable and recoverable in seconds. Choose whether items are hidden in the viewport, render, or both.
One-Click Hide/Show Collections
Like a magic cloak for your collections—poof, they’re hidden; poof, they’re back. No more tiny eye icons.
Hide/Show by Type
Instantly include or exclude meshes, lights, cameras, and more—per viewport, render, or both.
Group Collections
Create groups, assign collections, and toggle every linked collection with a single click.
Smart Display Panel
Hidden doesn’t mean lost. Search hidden collections and revive them instantly.
Compact the Outliner
Collapse the clutter so you can focus on what matters. Clean, tidy, zen.
Visual Feedback
Hidden collections can be flagged in red for quick visual awareness.
Create as many types of group collections with naming convention and apply hiding or showing of the render and viewport on all the included collection, toggle between hidden and shown.
