SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET based on Google's Skia Graphics Library. It provides comprehensive bindings for drawing vector graphics, rendering text, and processing images across mobile, desktop, server, and web platforms.

Use cases

• draw 2d vector graphics in a .net app
• render images on a server with dotnet
• generate and manipulate png/jpeg images in c#
• render custom ui graphics in a maui or uno app
• draw text and shapes to a canvas cross-platform
• generate svg files from .net code
• process and transform bitmap images

When to choose

• you need high-performance 2d drawing across multiple .net targets
• you want a single graphics api for mobile, desktop, and server
• you need image generation or manipulation in .net without gdi+ limitations

When to avoid

• you need 3d graphics or gpu shaders beyond skia's capabilities
• you work outside the .net ecosystem
• you need a full ui widget toolkit rather than a drawing api
