2DxFX: 2D Sprite FX

To celebrate 2DxFX's 11th anniversary and its new update, it will be on sale for -60% for a short period of 1 week — take advantage of it and don't hesitate to leave your feedback!


Make your 2D game look incredible in seconds — no shader knowledge required.

2DxFX is the all-in-one visual effects toolkit for Unity 2D. Drop a component on any Sprite or UI Image, pick an effect from the list, and tweak it live in the Inspector. That's it. No materials to wire up, no shader graph to learn, no code to write.

Whether you're prototyping or polishing a shipped title, 2DxFX gives you 250+ production-ready effects to bring sprites to life: burning fire, smooth blur, glitchy holograms, liquid distortion, retro pixelation, dissolve/teleport transitions, outlines, color grading, energy bars, and much more.

Built for developers who want results, fast:

  • 🎯 Zero setup. Add Component ▸ 2DxFX ▸ pick an effect. Live preview in the Editor.
  • 🎛️ Fully customizable. Every effect exposes clean, sliderized parameters — animate them with the Animator or Timeline for dynamic, reactive FX.
  • Performance-first. Optimized URP HLSL, a Shared Material workflow to slash draw calls, and a build that only includes the effects you use.
  • 💡 Advanced Lightning. Want lit sprites? The AL family reacts to URP 2D Lights with normal maps and 2D shadows.
  • 🧩 100+ bonus material shaders for advanced/material-driven workflows.

Perfect for any genre — platformers, RPGs, roguelikes, shoot-'em-ups, puzzle, casual & mobile, visual novels, UI/menus and juicy game feel. Works on Sprites and Unity UI alike.

Designed to get out of your way: relocate the folder anywhere, no third-party dependencies, and clean modern code you can read. Stop fighting shaders — start shipping effects.

Includes ready-to-explore example scenes and step-by-step documentation in 4 languages.
