Stop rebuilding UI from scratch. Unity UI Extensions is the flagship open-source UI control collection for Unity — 120 battle-tested controls for both uGUI and UI Toolkit. The controls you would build anyway are already here, polished and edge-case handled.
120 battle-tested, free, open-source UI controls for Unity uGUI and UI Toolkit. Two packages. One ecosystem.
Unity UI Extensions gives Unity developers 120 production-ready UI controls across two packages — accordions, colour pickers, scroll snapping, line renderers, radial layouts, pill buttons, step progress bars, toasts and dozens more. UPM-first, fully customisable, examples included. Community-driven since 2015, 100% free and open source.
Unity UI Extensions is the flagship open-source UI control collection for Unity. Community-driven since 2015, the project provides 90+ battle-tested, production-ready UI controls for both Unity uGUI and UI Toolkit. It is 100% free and open source, distributed UPM-first via OpenUPM and git URL, and licensed under BSD-3-Clause (uGUI) and MIT (UI Toolkit). The project is maintained by Simon “darkside” Jackson and a global community of contributors. Not affiliated with Unity Technologies.
Version 3.0 unifies two co-equal packages under one banner.
com.unity.uiextensions
The original and largest collection — 100 production-ready controls for Unity’s uGUI system, refined over a decade of community use. This is the V3 release.
com.unity.uitoolkitextensions
The modern companion — 20 USS-themable, data-driven controls built from the ground up for Unity 6’s UI Toolkit runtime.
The controls you would build anyway — polished and edge-case handled.
A decade of community use, bug reports and fixes since 2015.
OpenUPM or git URL. Clean dependency management, no asset-import drama.
Inspector-exposed for uGUI, USS-themable for UI Toolkit.
29 playable example scenes across both packages.
BSD-3 & MIT. PRs welcome, every contributor credited.
A taste of what ships in each package.
uGUI
UI Toolkit
Unity UI Extensions began in 2015 as a community home for the UI controls Unity developers kept rebuilding. Over a decade it grew into the largest open-source collection for Unity’s uGUI system, sustained by hundreds of community contributions, bug reports and fixes — the long tail that turns a control from “works in a demo” into “ships in a game”.
Version 3.0 is the relaunch: the uGUI package steps up to a modern Unity 6 release, a brand-new UI Toolkit package brings the same philosophy to Unity’s modern runtime, and the whole project gains a refreshed identity and a redesigned documentation site. Two packages, one ecosystem — built by the community, free forever.

“Two packages, one ecosystem — that is the whole story of 3.0. For ten years the community has built the controls you would build anyway, polished them, and handled the edge cases so you do not have to. The controls you would build anyway are already here. Ship faster. Build better.”
— Simon “darkside” Jackson, project maintainer
