ReShade is a generic post-processing injector for games and video software developed by crosire. Imagine your favorite game with ambient occlusionreal depth of field effectscolor correction and more ... ReShade exposes an automated and generic way to access both frame color and depth information (latter is automatically disabled during multiplayer to prevent exploitation) and all the tools to make it happen.

The possibilities are endless! Add advanced depth-edge-detection-driven SMAA antialiasingscreen space ambient occlusiondepth of field effectschromatic aberrationdynamic film grainautomatic saturation and color correctioncross processingmulti-pass blurring ... you name it.

ReShade features its very own shading language and compilercalled ReShade FX. The syntax is based on HLSLadding useful features designed for developing post-processing effects: Define and use textures right from the shader coderender to themchange renderstatesretrieve color and depth datarequest custom values like timers or key states...

And that's not it. Write your shaders just oncethey'll work everywhereregardless of your target being Direct3DOpenGL or Vulkan: ReShade takes care of compiling them to the right shader model and language (HLSLGLSL or SPIR-V).

ReShade 5.0 introduced a powerful add-on API that makes it possible to write add-ons for both ReShade and the games it is used with (this is only enabled in the ReShade build with full add-on supportwhich is unsigned). For more information check out the documentation.
