## What it is

Figma help article listing the shaders made by the team: effects applied to images and layers, procedural fills and a mock-data plugin.

## What it’s for

For checking the name and behavior of each shader, such as Lens Distortion or Pixel Stretch, before using it in a design.

## Benefits

- Effects such as Bloom, Halftone, Dither, Warp, Pixelate and Slice shift
- Fills such as Mesh gradient, Nebula, Water caustics and Glowing wave, some animatable
- Mock Data Lab plugin, which generates mockup variations from a template
- Free on the Starter, Professional, Education, Organization and Enterprise plans

## Caveats

- The shaders are in open beta, so features and performance may change.
- They require edit access to the file.
