Canvas Scaler, Explained

Learn all about the Canvas Scaler! The Canvas Scaler comes by default whenever you make a Canvas in Unity, but many of us don't fully understand how it works or what it does. When making a game, ensuring your UI scales reasonably across multiple different aspect ratios and screen resolutions is critical.

In this video we'll dive deep into each scale mode available in the Canvas Scaler:

⚫ Constant Pixel Size

⚫ Scale With Screen Size

⚫ Constant Physical Size

and talk about the strengths, weaknesses, and how to use each one.

👨‍💻 As always, the full project from this video is available on GitHub: https://github.com/llamacademy/canvas-scaler

Since we didn't do any coding, this one is a little less useful, but you can see the anchor layout in more detail there.
