Post-processing in the Universal Render Pipeline

The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) includes its own implementation of post-processing, so you do not need to install any other package. URP is not compatible with the post-processing version 2 package.

This implementation uses the same Volume system as the High Definition Render Pipeline. You can add post-processing effects to your Camera in the same way you add any other Volume Override.

The images below show a Scene with and without URP post-processing.

Post-processing in URP for mobile devices

Post-processing effects can take up a lot of frame time. If you’re using URP for mobile devices, these effects are the most “mobile-friendly” by default:

• Bloom (with High Quality Filtering disabled)
• Chromatic Aberration
• Color Grading
• Lens Distortion
• Vignette

Note: For depth-of field, Unity recommends that you use Gaussian Depth of Field for lower-end devices. For console and desktop platforms, use Bokeh Depth of Field.

Note: For anti-aliasing on mobile platforms, Unity recommends that you use FXAA.

Post-processing in URP for VR

In VR apps and games, certain post-processing effects can cause nausea and disorientation. To reduce motion sickness in fast-paced or high-speed apps, use the Vignette effect for VR, and avoid the effects Lens Distortion, Chromatic Aberration, and Motion Blur for VR.
