Grida




Grida

Grida is an open-source canvas editor & rendering engine (Rust + Skia + WASM) — plus Database/CMS and Forms.

Canvas demoRefigDownloadsWebsiteDocsContributingSlack Community




Why Grida

Grida is an open-source 2D graphics engine and editor built for performance and interoperability — with a stable on-disk document format.

  • Renderer backends: a DOM renderer for HTML/CSS workflows and a Skia renderer via WASM (WebGL2 + raster).
  • Headless rendering: render in Node.js (no browser) for CI/export pipelines.
  • Document format: .grida on FlatBuffers (format/grida.fbs) for large documents and schema evolution.
  • Interop: import from Figma (.fig / REST JSON) and work with SVG.
  • Supabase integration: Database/CMS and Forms are built to work seamlessly with Supabase (Tables, Views, Storage, Auth).

If Grida is useful, consider starring this repo — it helps a lot.



Demo




Canvas

Grida Canvas

Grida Canvas is a node/property-based 2D graphics engine and editor surface. Core engine is written in Rust (Skia) and is exposed to web/Node via @grida/canvas-wasm.

  • [x] Infinite canvas + fast pan/zoom
  • [x] .grida document format (FlatBuffers)
  • [x] Render backends: DOM + Skia/WASM (WebGL2 + raster)
  • [x] Import: Figma (@grida/io-figma)
  • [x] SVG tooling (@grida/io-svg) (subset)
  • [x] Bitmap editor (TP)
  • [x] SVG editor (TP)
  • [x] Vector network model (paths, holes, compound shapes)
  • [x] Headless rendering: @grida/refig (Node + browser)
  • [ ] Component / instance model
  • [ ] WebGPU backend (Skia Graphite)

Backends

  • DOM backend: React-bound renderer for website-builder workflows.
  • Skia backend (Rust + skia-safe@grida/canvas-wasm):
    • Browser: WebGL2 surface (interactive)
    • Node.js: raster surface (headless export)

Document format: .grida

Grida documents are stored as .grida files using FlatBuffers (format/grida.fbs). The schema is designed to be evolvable and efficient for large documents.

Headless Figma rendering (Refig)

@grida/refig renders Figma documents from .fig exports (offline) or REST API JSON to PNG/JPEG/WebP/PDF/SVG in Node.js (no browser) or in the browser.

CLI

pnpm dlx @grida/refig ./design.fig --export-all --out ./out
pnpm dlx @grida/refig ./design.fig --node "1:23" --format png --out ./out.png

Library (Node)

import { writeFileSync } from "node:fs";
import { FigmaDocument, FigmaRenderer } from "@grida/refig";

async function main() {
  const doc = FigmaDocument.fromFile("design.fig");
  const renderer = new FigmaRenderer(doc);

  const { data } = await renderer.render("1:23", { format: "png", scale: 2 });
  writeFileSync("out.png", data);

  renderer.dispose();
}

main();

Docs: @grida/refig

Quickstart (monorepo)

Requirements: Node.js 22+, pnpm 10+

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Common tasks:

pnpm dev:editor
pnpm dev:packages
pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint
pnpm test



Packages

Selected packages you can use independently:

  • @grida/refig: headless Figma renderer (Node + browser) + CLI
  • @grida/canvas-wasm: Skia renderer via WASM (WebGL + headless raster)
  • @grida/ruler, @grida/pixel-grid, @grida/transparency-grid: infinite-canvas UI primitives



Does it replace (X)..?

  • Google Forms / Typeform / …: Yes — Grida aims to replace them with a more powerful, beautiful, and customizable builder.
  • Notion: No — we’re not building a document management system (but we do aim for the same simplicity).
  • Figma: 50/50 — long-term we’re building a design tool; today we ship the foundation (canvas engine, interop/import, headless rendering). See Nothing Graphics Engine (not active atm).
  • Framer: 50/50 — Framer is website-interaction-first; we’re aiming for a data-first prototyping tool focused on query + state, with templates.



Keeping Grida as 'Free' as possible

Since 2020, I’ve dedicated myself full-time to building Grida, often facing challenges to sustain both my work and the company (and that's why we have grida.studio). My vision is simple: the world deserves a powerful, free tool that helps people get things done. To support students, solo founders, contributors, and open-source projects, we’re offering the Pro tier of our hosted service at no cost. Join our Slack channel and reach me out. My handle is @universe.
