Streamlined Collection Export for Blender

What is Simple Export?

Simple Export streamlines batch exporting in Blender by providing an organized overview of all export collections and simplifying the setup process. The add-on enhances Blender's built-in collection exporter but doesn’t modify its native functionality. This ensures .blend files remain fully compatible and exportable with the same settings—even without the add-on installed. Simple Export supports all major export formats, including FBX, Alembic, USD, OBJ, glTF, STL, and PLY.

This approach keeps your workflow efficient, team-friendly, and accessible across collaborators, while providing tools to simplify and speed up export configuration
