A collection of community-authored WebGL/GLSL display filters for the PixiJS 2D rendering library, including effects like bloom, glow, CRT, glitch, drop shadow, and color adjustments. It ships as an npm package (pixi-filters) with versioned compatibility for each PixiJS major release.

Use cases

• add bloom or glow effects to sprites in a PixiJS game
• apply CRT or glitch post-processing effects to canvas graphics
• add drop shadows and outlines to PixiJS display objects
• adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation of rendered scenes
• find WebGL shader filters for 2D web graphics
• create retro or stylized visual effects in browser games

When to choose

• you are already using PixiJS and need ready-made visual effects
• you want a maintained, MIT-licensed set of shader filters with demos and docs
• you need effects that match your specific PixiJS major version

When to avoid

• you are not using PixiJS as your rendering engine
• you need custom, one-off shaders rather than prebuilt filters
• you need filters for other engines like Three.js or Phaser's non-Pixi renderer
