Color Space Converter — For Blender® 4.2+

Danilo Caliro in Rendering


What it does

Scans every material's image textures (and world HDRIs) and assigns the correct color profile automatically, based on a suffix found in the texture's filename — e.g. _BaseColor → sRGB, _Roughness → Non-Color.

Installation

  1. Open Blender® (4.2 or newer) → Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions (or the Extensions tab).
  2. Click the dropdown next to "Install from Disk" and select color_space_converter_v1.0.0.zip — no need to unzip it first.
  3. Enable the add-on if it isn't active automatically.
  4. Open the 3D Viewport sidebar (N key) → Color Space tab.

Usage

  • Convert All Textures — applies the colorspace to every image texture node in every material, based on the suffix list below.
  • Convert HDRI — sets every World environment texture to Linear Rec.709.
  • Matching is case-insensitive and checks whether the suffix appears anywhere in the image name.

Default suffixes

SUFFIX PROFILE
_BaseColor sRGB
_Emission sRGB
_SSS sRGB
_Sheen sRGB
_Specular sRGB
_Metallic Non-Color
_Roughness Non-Color
_MaskMap Non-Color
_MRS Non-Color
_ORM Non-Color
_Height Non-Color
_Bump Non-Color
_Normal Non-Color
_Displacementl Non-Color
_Opacity Non-Color
_Occlusion Non-Color


Editing the suffix list

Use Add / Remove below the list to create custom suffix → profile pairs. If you accidentally delete an entry (e.g. _BaseColor), click Reset to Default to restore the original suffix list.

Colorspace dropdown & favorites

The profile dropdown reads directly from Blender's active OCIO config, so every colorspace installed on your system is available — not just the five built-in defaults. Favorites are shown with a ★ at the top of the dropdown; nothing is added automatically — you choose what gets pinned.

  • Manage favorites from Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Color Space Converter:
    • pick any colorspace from the dropdown and click Add to Favorites to pin it;
    • click the ✕ next to any favorite to remove just that one;
    • Reset Favorites to Default clears the whole list back to the original five.
  • Favorites persist across Blender sessions.
  • If Blender's OCIO config can't be read for any reason, the dropdown falls back to the original five profiles (sRGB, Non-Color, Linear Rec.709, ACEScg, ACES2065-1).


  • If you're the only one using it, the Personal License is enough.
