Limitations
  • The canvas engine must initialize in the browser and should not run during server rendering.
  • The published peer dependency currently declares Preact 10 only; Preact 11 compatibility is not documented upstream.
  • Loading the full tsParticles bundle can be large; use selected engine packages when possible.
  • Continuous animation should respect reduced-motion preferences and performance budgets.
