Using Processing.js on an HTML5 Canvas element, you can:

  • Create drawings on a Canvas
  • Import raster images or SVG objects to the Canvas
  • Manipulate drawings or images on the Canvas
  • Animate graphical elements present on the Canvas
  • Add interaction capability to the Canvas
  • Dynamically update the Canvas


Processing.js takes advantage of the HTML5 technology and does not use any proprietary technology like Flash, Silverlight or Quicktime to implement the above mentioned features. Any browser with full support to JavaScript and <canvas> element can render the graphics created by Processing.js. These all mean that the output will load faster and there will be less inconsistencies between browsers and operating systems.
