Live shaders.
Installed in one line.

AI generates unique mesh, noise, metaball, and voronoi shader backgrounds. Drop them into any Next.js + Tailwind project as a live React component via the shadcn CLI.

How it works

Three steps to perfect

01

Describe

Type a mood, aesthetic, or vibe. Pick a shader family — mesh, noise, blobs, or patterns — and AI turns your words into a palette with tuned parameters.

Generating
""
02

Edit

Refine the palette, dial in distortion, swirl, scale, rotation, and offset. Every knob is live — the canvas updates as you move.

Export

Download PNG, SVG, or paste-in CSS. Each format bakes a pixel-perfect capture of the live shader.

CLI

Real shaders.
In your codebase.

Install via shadcn CLI

One line.
A live shader.

Every gradient on ShaderUI is a real React component, not a screenshot. One CLI command drops it into your Next.js + Tailwind project, dependencies and all.

.shaderui-background {
background-image: url(...);
background-size: cover;
background-position: center;
width: 100%;
}

AI Generation

Describe a mood, aesthetic, or vibe. AI picks the palette and dials in the shader knobs — no color theory, no fiddling with sliders.

MeshNoiseBlobsPatterns

Four Shader Families

Mesh gradients, noise textures, metaballs, and voronoi patterns — each a real WebGL shader, not a CSS approximation.

SWIRL0.84
SCALE0.86

Shape & Motion

Pull the distortion, swirl, scale, rotation, and more. Every knob is live — the canvas updates as you move.

Tunable Palette

Refine the AI palette with a full color picker. Add, remove, and reorder up to ten colors per gradient.

Pixel-perfect Export

Drop-in ready code

Need a static asset instead? Download exactly what you see as PNG, SVG, or CSS. Each format bakes a high-res capture of the live shader.
