.NET MAUI - SkiaSharp

Browse code

SkiaSharp is a 2D graphics system for .NET and C# powered by the open-source Skia graphics engine that's used extensively in Google products. You can use SkiaSharp in your .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) apps to draw 2D vector graphics, bitmaps, and text.

This sample demonstrates the use of SkiaSharp in a .NET MAUI app.

Use SkiaSharp in an app

To use SkiaSharp in your .NET MAUI app you should:

1. Add the SkiaSharp.Views.Maui.Controls NuGet package to your app. This will also install dependent SkiaSharp packages.
2. Initialize SkiaSharp in your app by calling the UseSkiaSharp method on the MauiAppBuilder object in your MauiProgram class:

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using SkiaSharp.Views.Maui.Controls.Hosting;

namespace MyMauiApp;

public static class MauiProgram
{
    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
    {
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .UseSkiaSharp()
            .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
            {
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
            });

        #if DEBUG
        builder.Logging.AddDebug();
        #endif

        return builder.Build();
    }
}
