Restart Blender after installing Pillow
- Pillow may be installed, but the add-on was loaded before installation.
- Either completely restart Blender, or in Edit → Preferences → Add-ons, uncheck the add-on and check it again to reload it.
Verify Pillow in Blender’s Python Console In Blender: Scripting → Python Console, run:
```
import sys, importlib print(sys.executable) print(sys.path) import PIL; print(PIL.__file__, PIL.__version__) from PIL import Image; print(Image) 
```
- The last line should print something like <module 'PIL.Image' ...>.
- If it errors here, Pillow is still not available to Blender’s Python.
Possible reasons it still fails
- Pillow is installed into the wrong Python (system Python, not Blender’s built-in).
- Pillow was installed into another Blender version.
- The add-on’s code didn’t import Image (from PIL import Image) before using it.
If Pillow shows as installed in step 2 but the add-on still fails
- This means the add-on module is still using the “old state” from before Pillow was available.
- Reload the add-on (disable/enable it) or restart Blender so it imports Image properly.
