Shadcn Studio is a freemium collection of customizable shadcn UI components, blocks, templates, and themes for React applications, supporting both Radix UI and Base UI. It lets developers copy-paste or install via CLI, with full code ownership and no vendor lock-in.
What is Shadcn Studio?
Shadcn Studio is a component and template marketplace built on top of shadcn/ui. It provides a library of pre-built UI blocks (hero sections, bento grids, team sections, portfolios, contact pages, and more), application templates, admin dashboards, and themes. Users can preview, customize, and either copy-paste or install components via the shadcn/ui CLI. Created by the team at Shadcn Studio, it is trusted by over 1,600 shadcn creators and teams. The platform also includes AI-powered tools: an MCP server for IDEs, a Figma-to-code plugin, and an AI theme generator.
Key Features
- Component & Block Variants — Access hundreds of customizable shadcn blocks and component variants, including marketing UI blocks like hero sections, social proof strips, and contact forms. Preview them in light/dark mode before copying.
- Seamless Framework Integration — Works with Next.js, Remix, Astro, Laravel, Vite, Gatsby, React Query, and React Router. Install via CLI (
npx shadcn@latest add) or directly copy-paste the code.
- Complete Code Ownership — No hidden dependencies or vendor lock-in. All components use standard npm packages and Tailwind CSS; you own every line of code.
- Stunning Animations with Motion — Pre-built animated variants using the Motion library (formerly Framer Motion) that add smooth transitions to blocks and components.
- Primitive-First Foundation — Built on Radix UI and Base UI primitives, giving you flexible, accessible, unstyled base components.
- AI-Powered Tools — MCP server integrates with Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Cline to generate components and pages from natural language prompts. Figma plugin converts Figma designs into shadcn/ui code. AI theme generator lets you design and preview themes in real time.
- 20+ Templates — Includes free and premium templates for admin dashboards, landing pages, portfolios, ecommerce product quick views, and more. All are fully customizable.
Who is it for?
- React developers building fast UI prototypes or production apps with shadcn/ui — use the block library to assemble pages quickly without writing every component from scratch.
- Design engineers who want a Figma-to-code pipeline — convert Figma component designs directly into shadcn/ui React code using the dedicated plugin.
- Teams using AI-assisted development — integrate the MCP server into Cursor or VS Code to generate entire sections (hero, team, contact) by describing them in plain language.
- Agency and freelance teams that need consistent, on-brand UI across multiple projects — use the theme generator to create a custom shadcn theme and apply it to all blocks.
What can you do with Shadcn Studio?
- Build a landing page in minutes: Choose a hero block, social proof strip, team section, and contact form from the marketing UI categories, customize colors via the AI theme generator, and paste the code into your Next.js project.
- Convert Figma designs to code: Design your interface in Figma, select elements, and use the Shadcn Studio Figma plugin to export them as shadcn/ui React components — directly paste into your app.
- Generate pages with AI in your IDE: Open the MCP server in Cursor, type “create a bento grid with dark mode support,” and the server returns a complete, copy-pasteable block based on Shadcn Studio premium components.
- Customize a theme without writing CSS: Use the AI Theme Generator to tweak color palettes, borders, and radii, then preview changes live before applying them globally.
