PixiJS has five text-rendering classes that cover different trade-offs between styling, performance, and animation. Text renders to a canvas for full CSS-style fidelity. BitmapText reads from a pre-generated atlas for cheap updates. HTMLText renders an HTML fragment via SVG <foreignObject> for rich markup. SplitText and SplitBitmapText wrap the first two classes and expose per-character, per-word, and per-line containers for animation.

Assumes familiarity with pixijs-scene-core-concepts. All text classes are leaf nodes; they cannot have children. Wrap multiple text instances in a Container to group them.

Quick Start

const text = new Text({
  text: "Hello PixiJS",
  style: {
    fontFamily: "Arial",
    fontSize: 36,
    fill: 0xffffff,
    stroke: { color: 0x4a1850, width: 5 },
    dropShadow: { color: 0x000000, blur: 4, distance: 6 },
