tsParticles Snow Preset

tsParticles preset creating a snow effect with falling particles.

Sample

Quick checklist

1. Install @tsparticles/engine (or use the CDN bundle below)
2. Call loadSnowPreset(tsParticles) before tsParticles.load(...)
3. Set preset: "snow" in options

How to use it

CDN / Vanilla JS / jQuery

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tsparticles/preset-snow@3/tsparticles.preset.snow.bundle.min.js"></script>
Copy

Usage

Once the scripts are loaded you can set up tsParticles like this:

(async () => {
  await loadSnowPreset(tsParticles);

  await tsParticles.load({
    id: "tsparticles",
    options: {
      preset: "snow",
    },
  });
})();
Copy

Customization

Important ⚠️ You can override all the options defining the properties like in any standard tsParticles installation.

tsParticles.load({
  id: "tsparticles",
  options: {
    particles: {
      shape: {
        type: "square", // starting from v2, this require the square shape script
      },
    },
    preset: "snow",
  },
});
Copy

Like in the sample above, the circles will be replaced by squares.

Frameworks with a tsParticles component library

Checkout the documentation in the component library repository and call the loadSnowPreset function instead of loadFull, loadSlim or similar functions.

The options shown above are valid for all the component libraries.

Dependencies

This preset loads and combines the following packages:

If you want to customize one specific behavior, start from the related package README above.

Common pitfalls

• Calling tsParticles.load(...) before loadSnowPreset(tsParticles)
• Changing particle shape without loading the corresponding shape package
• The snow effect has a transparent background by default; set background.color if you need a specific backdrop
