A visual comparison of HTML-in-Canvas vs rasterizing DOM to a canvas texture (side-by-side below, compare average capture times) Existing approaches to pull web content into canvas are slow and lossy: - Animations glitch, or don't play at all - CSS replication is imprecise - Clogs up the main thread,...

VFX-JS supports HTML-in-Canvas now. You can turn HTML element into a WebGL texture. It automatically detects the browser and fallback to the old SVG foreignObject workaround. So it works on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, of course! #WebGL #VFXJS #Codepen

HTML can't run Doom But HTML can now run *inside* Doom! Thanks to HTML-in-Canvas! Fully accessible DOM elements drawn into Doom's own wall textures. This demo uses a WebAssembly port (jacobenget/doom.wasm) of the original C source. See it in action at - Requires Chrome with chrome://flags/#canvas-draw-element enabled. On every Doom tick, HTML-in-Canvas's drawElementImage() captures the DOM form (child of ) to an offscreen buffer, it's quantised to Doom's 256-colour palette, and the bytes are written straight into the cached patch for the appropriate texture in Doom. Doom's own software renderer then paints it onto E1M1 as a wall texture - which means perspective warp, sector lighting, and even the damage-red tint all get included and applied to the HTML form elements. It's just a texture to Doom.

HTML canvas has always been a black box to the browser, but not anymore. The HTML-in-Canvas API lets you integrate real DOM elements directly into the canvas, making them fully searchable, accessible, natively translatable, and inspectable. Fuse shaders and semantics to build new UI, eliminating the need for separate DOM overlays → The web is about to get a whole lot more whimsical and we can't wait to see it 🎨

HTML-in-Canvas will open a door for innovation on the web Create UIs and user experiences that are more engaging and sensible than ever before Very straightforward and accessible Extremely normal interfaces! Experimental - Requires activation of the chrome://flags/#canvas-draw-element flag in Chrome

For the last couple months, our team has been working hard on a few paradigm-changing features for HTML Canvas. One of them is the ability to have HTML elements in a canvas. Here's a ThreeJS demo with a live HTML texture.

I can't believe it, I've managed to create a HTML-in-Canvas beast with Ultramock 🔥 Load up any website/app into an interactive 3D scene and programatically animate all components beautifully:

You've never vibe coded like this before. Replit ⠕ is now your canvas for building & creating. In this video I'm building a graphics shader app. I click Replit's canvas button and see the live app running on infinite editable canvas, generate several design variants in parallel side by side, bring one back into my app. Just 1 of the things we shipped.

Got a 24GB Graphics Card? These 6 coding models all fit on it (Q4): - qwen3.5:27b (17GB) - qwen3.5:35b (24GB) - glm-4.7-flash (19GB) - nemotron-3-nano:30b (24GB) - nemotron-cascade-2:30b (24GB) - gpt-oss:20b (14GB) I gave them the same challenge: draw a campfire with HTML Canvas. Why Canvas? HTML/CSS forgives bad syntax — things still render. JavaScript + Canvas doesn't — one mistake and the screen goes black.

These are real WebGL shaders on top of interactive DOM elements without the HTML-in-Canvas API (works in Safari too). There’re rough edges still but worth sharing:
