ShaderBot is a free online shader editor and Discord bot that lets you write, preview, and share GLSL/WGSL shaders. It compiles your code to animated GIFs and embeds them directly in Discord.

How do I use the shader editor on Discord?

Add ShaderBot to your Discord server. Then use /shader, /shader-preset, or /shader-generate commands in any channel to create and share animated shaders instantly.

Is the online shader editor free?

Yes. ShaderBot offers a free tier with 5 compilations/day, access to all 1,200+ presets, and the full web shader editor. Pro plans unlock unlimited compilations and AI generation.

What shader languages does ShaderBot support?

ShaderBot supports GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) and WGSL (WebGPU Shading Language). It uses standard GLSL uniforms including iTime, iResolution, and iChannel.

Can I export shaders to game engines?

Yes. ShaderBot lets you export shaders to 16+ game engines including Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Bevy, and more — directly from the web editor.

Can ShaderBot generate shaders with AI?

Yes. Use /shader-prompt on Discord or the AI tab in the web editor to describe what you want in plain text (e.g. "blue ocean waves with foam") and ShaderBot will generate the full GLSL code instantly. You can also use /shader-generate to pick shapes, colors and animations with no coding required.

Is ShaderBot a good Shadertoy alternative?

Yes. ShaderBot is fully compatible with Shadertoy-style GLSL shaders (iTime, iResolution, iChannel0–3 uniforms). Unlike Shadertoy, ShaderBot also offers Discord integration, animated GIF export, AI generation, 1,200+ preset library, and one-click game engine export to Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot and more — all for free.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 User‑Generated Shaders

The shaders you create using ShaderBot — whether written manually, edited through the integrated code editor, or generated with AI assistance — belong to you. ShaderBot does not claim ownership over your personal creations.

By using the service, you grant ShaderBot a limited, non‑exclusive license to store, process, compile, optimize, and display your shaders solely for the purpose of operating the service. This license ends when you delete your content or your account, except for public shaders intentionally published in the community gallery.

ShaderBot does not use your personal shaders to train AI models without your explicit consent.

6.2 ShaderBot Presets (Free & Pro Plans)

ShaderBot provides access to a curated collection of preset shaders, including shaders generated by AI. While some AI‑generated outputs may not be eligible for copyright protection under applicable law, ShaderBot retains exclusive rights over:

The selection, arrangement, structure, and organization of the preset library
The curation, modification, and optimization work performed by ShaderBot
The presentation, naming, categorization, and metadata of presets
All human‑authored improvements, edits, and enhancements

Access to these presets is granted under a license of use, not a transfer of ownership. You may not copy, extract, redistribute, resell, or reproduce ShaderBot presets outside the scope of your plan.

6.3 Commercial Use

Users with paid plans (Pro, Server Pro) may use ShaderBot‑generated shaders — including presets — in personal or commercial projects, provided that:

You respect the licenses of shaders you import yourself
You do not redistribute ShaderBot presets as a competing library or service
You do not claim exclusive rights over AI‑generated content that may not be copyright‑eligible

ShaderBot makes no guarantee that AI‑generated shaders are eligible for copyright protection in your jurisdiction.

6.4 AI‑Generated Content

ShaderBot uses advanced AI models to generate or assist in the creation of shaders. AI‑generated content may not be protected by copyright depending on applicable laws. ShaderBot provides such content "as is" and does not guarantee exclusivity or originality.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of AI‑generated shaders complies with your local laws and with any third‑party licenses applicable to shaders you import.

6.5 ShaderBot Technology

The ShaderBot platform — including its source code, rendering pipeline, shader compiler, AI models, design, branding, documentation, and all associated features — is the exclusive intellectual property of ShaderBot. You may not copy, reverse‑engineer, modify, or distribute any part of the ShaderBot service without written permission.

6.6 Restrictions

You agree not to:

Extract or scrape the preset library
Reproduce ShaderBot presets outside the service
Use ShaderBot outputs to train competing AI models
Bypass plan limitations or licensing restrictions

Violation of these rules may result in suspension or termination of your account.

7. AI Usage and Data

Our AI features (code generation assistant and integrated chatbot) use advanced models to help you create content.

Data you provide to AI is processed securely and confidentially
We do not use your personal data to train our models without explicit consent
AI-generated content may be subject to quality and quantity limitations
We reserve the right to refuse inappropriate AI requests

Check our privacy policy for more details on data processing.

8. Limitation of Liability

The service is provided "as is". We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free. AI features may produce unpredictable results. We will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use the service, including losses related to AI.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for violation of these ToS. You can terminate your account at any time from your dashboard.

10. Changes to ToS

We reserve the right to modify these ToS at any time. Changes will be published on this page. Your continued use of the service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.
