About
About Shadcn Studio
This innovative tool offers live theme generation with real-time preview, customizable component variants, animated component options, Tailwind v4 compatibility, color and typography fine-tuning capabilities, and pre-built theme starters that accelerate project initiation. Unlike traditional NPM libraries, Shadcn Studio operates as a distribution of components that developers copy directly into projects, providing more design flexibility and control than standard component libraries by enabling modification at the source level.
Perfect for design systems teams establishing consistent visual languages, developers building multiple projects requiring theme variations, agencies delivering customized solutions for diverse clients, or any workflow where theme experimentation and component customization determine design efficiency and consistency. Supported by ThemeSelection with active Twitter and Discord communities and released under MIT license, the platform demonstrates how modern component distribution can move beyond package management to direct code ownership, enabling developers to truly own their component implementations while benefiting from curated, production-ready starting points that reduce initial development time without creating long-term dependencies on external packages that may constrain future customization or introduce breaking changes during updates.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Shadcn Studio.
Shadcn Studio is an open-source component distribution platform built with TypeScript (99.5%), Tailwind CSS, and Next.js, providing a comprehensive registry of copy-and-paste shadcn components, blocks, and templates paired with a powerful theme generator for crafting, customizing, and shipping faster. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Shadcn Studio is made by Themeselection, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Themeselection has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Shadcn Studio with Next.js, React and Tailwind. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Shadcn Studio page embeds its live demo from shadcnstudio.com, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Shadcn Studio listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/themeselection/shadcn-studio), then follow the README. The Shadcn Studio page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the Shadcn Studio repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Shadcn Studio is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
Shadcn Studio is tagged Next.js, so it deploys wherever a Next.js app does, such as Vercel, a Node.js server or a container. Its README may add steps for its own services.
The Shadcn Studio listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/themeselection/shadcn-studio), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Shadcn Studio's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows Shadcn Studio's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. Shadcn Studio is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Themeselection supports Shadcn Studio, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, Shadcn Studio is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that Shadcn Studio uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up Shadcn Studio for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 151 other open source Next.js templates like Shadcn Studio, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/nextjs.
Themeselection has no other templates in the collection.
Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
