Particle.Maui

A .NET MAUI library to display particle effects (confetti, radial bursts, etc.). Works on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows.

Originally created as Particle.Forms for Xamarin.Forms by Marius Muntean, then ported to .NET MAUI as Particle.Maui by Jeff Bowman. This fork maintains the library for .NET 9/.NET 10 and SkiaSharp 3.x.

Tip

To conserve resources you can pause the particles when the Page is about to disappear and resume when the Page is about to appear.

        protected override void OnAppearing()
        {
            base.OnAppearing();

            MyParticleCanvas.IsRunning = true;
        }

        protected override void OnDisappearing()
        {
            base.OnDisappearing();

            MyParticleCanvas.IsRunning = false;
        }
