Shaders installation

Last edited 2026-04-05


Clickteam Fusion allows you to install "custom" or “third-party” shaders created by the community.


Examples of sources where you can download effects:

Website

Description

Clickstore

The official Clickteam store where you can buy or download effects.

Dark-Wire

A huge list of shaders from various sources (for example, from GitHub, as shown in the table below)

GitHub (Foxioo Shader Pack)

This repository contains only shaders created or modified by Foxioo (the repository's author); it is updated frequently and has a well-organized structure.

GitHub (FusionShaderRepo)

This repository contains some shaders created by NaitorStudios (the repository's author) as well as modified versions designed to improve upon the originals; it also includes shaders from other repositories and other sources.


Important:

  • All installed effects must be located in the "/Effects" folder within the directory where Clickteam Fusion is installed.
  • File names must not be duplicated from other subdirectories within "/Effects".
  • Shaders must be UNZIPPED


Guide to installing a sample effect from Dark-Wire:


(For example, I need a simple blur effect for my project.)

1. I go to Dark-Wire via the link in the table. When a new tab opens in my browser with the list, I press Ctrl+F and type in what I’m looking for.


2. Once I find the effect I’m interested in, I click the download link - for example, "GitMir".


3. Once the ZIP file with the effects has downloaded, I open it.


4. I open a new Explorer window, navigate to the "/Effects" folder where Clickteam Fusion is installed, and create a new folder named "Blur."


5. I copy the files from the ZIP file into the "Blur" folder.


6. In Clickteam Fusion, I refresh the list of installed effects using the "Refresh" button, and I can now use this shader.
