Core Advantages
Ultra-fast Creation, Million-level Graphics
The LeaferJS engine breaks industry norms and achieves the capability to handle millions of graphics. Its creation speed is astonishing—within just 1.5 seconds, it can generate 1 million interactive rectangles. Compared to similar engines, LeaferJS achieves over 10x faster creation speed, even far surpassing HTML5 itself.
Just as Elon Musk’s Hyperloop pushes high-speed rail into a new era, LeaferJS breaks the speed limits of the graphics industry, offering developers unlimited possibilities to create stunning visual effects.
Extreme Performance, Minimal Resource Usage
LeaferJS is designed for extreme performance. Creating 1 million interactive rectangles consumes only 350MB of memory, far lower than similar engines. In addition, LeaferJS has a very small codebase—only 42KB after gzip compression—making it one of the most lightweight engines available.
Rich Expressiveness, Simple and Easy-to-use API
LeaferJS offers rich visual capabilities, including gradients, pattern fills, inner and outer shadows, blur, masking, clipping, path transformations, and more. After careful design and refinement, we provide a simple and easy-to-use API, enabling developers to achieve powerful functionality with minimal code.
Comprehensive Documentation, Continuous Evolution
We provide easy-to-learn and user-friendly documentation for LeaferJS. Every major feature includes detailed code examples and visual demonstrations. We are committed to ensuring the stability of core features and have implemented comprehensive automated testing. Although LeaferJS is still evolving, we believe it is already capable of powering your projects.
Mission and Vision
We aim to establish a simple, open, and modern UI drawing language standard through LeaferJS, providing a cross-platform, lightweight, and high-performance runtime for digital product development. We envision seamless communication, collaboration, and sharing of drawing data and digital interfaces across different software. By continuously innovating in graphics technology and support systems, we hope to attract more developers, build an open ecosystem, and drive rapid industry growth, leading to the creation of more innovative technologies and products.
Our Passion Makes It Possible
The journey of building LeaferJS was far from easy. During development, we faced numerous technical challenges, paid significant costs, and stood on the edge of failure many times. However, our passion for the graphics industry and our commitment to our mission drove us forward. We overcame countless difficulties and challenges, ultimately bringing the LeaferJS engine to life.
