@pixi/react is a React renderer that lets you build PixiJS applications declaratively using JSX components like <pixiContainer> and <pixiSprite>. It is a thin, production-ready wrapper around PixiJS v8 (with React 19 support) that keeps full access to the underlying PixiJS API.

Use cases

• render 2d graphics in react
• build interactive canvas apps with react
• write pixijs apps declaratively in jsx
• create animated web graphics with react
• build 2d games in react
• render sprites and text with webgl in react

When to choose

• you want to use PixiJS with React state and components
• you need high-performance 2D/WebGL rendering inside a React app
• you want declarative JSX for sprites, containers, and graphics
• you want a thin wrapper that always tracks the latest PixiJS features

When to avoid

• you are not using React
• you need 3D rendering (use three.js or react-three-fiber)
• you want a full game engine with physics and scene management built in
• you need to render plain DOM UI rather than canvas/WebGL content
