Roblox Shaders are mods that improve the graphics of the game.
With shaders, in-game shadows, lighting, texture gradients, and more will be improved.
However, you need to check if your PC is compatible with the shaders.
If your graphics card is outdated, Roblox will not be able to run smoothly.
You may experience severe lag and your game might even crash.
Hence, if your graphics card is outdated, you shouldn’t try downloading shaders on Roblox.
This is because it’ll negatively impact the game’s performance.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to get, download, and install shaders (Zeal’s Shaders) on Roblox.
How to get shaders on Roblox

The Zeal’s Shaders installation process is pretty straightforward.
To begin with, you need to go to the download page and download it.

This includes accepting the license agreement and installing all components.
Zeal’s Shaders has multiple presets including “Low”, “Medium”, “High”, “Ultra”, and “Max”.
If you have an outdated graphics card, it’s highly recommended that you select the “Low” or “Medium” preset.

Click on “OK” to close the pop-up message.
Then, click on “Finish” to complete the setup wizard.
Once Zeal’s Shaders is installed, you need to play a game on Roblox.
You need to play a game on Roblox to check if the shader is working.
Firstly, go to Roblox.com and log in to your account.
After you’ve logged in to your account, navigate to a random game (e.g. Brookhaven RP).
Then, click on the play button to start the game.
5. Select a preset
After you’ve opened a game, you’ll be prompted to press the “home” button on your keyboard.
Press the “home” button on your keyboard to open the shaders menu.
Once you’ve opened the shaders menu, you’ll see a welcome message.
Click on “Skip Tutorial” to skip the tutorial.
After you’ve skipped the tutorial, you need to select a Zeal’s Shaders preset.
Firstly, click on the top bar.
After you’ve clicked on the top bar, you’ll see a list of presets that you can choose from.
These presets are the components that you’ve previously downloaded.
There are 5 presets in total—Low, Medium, High, Ultra, and Max.
“Zeal’s ReShade-Preset Low.ini” is the lowest intensity shader preset while “Zeal’s ReShade-Preset Max.ini” is the highest intensity shader preset.
You need to select the preset depending on the graphics card that you have.
This is to prevent the preset from compromising the performance of your game.
If you have an outdated graphics card, it’s highly recommended that you select either “Low” or “Medium”.
On the other hand, if you have a high-end graphics card, you can either select “High” or “Ultra”.
Once you’ve selected a preset, press the “home” button on your keyboard to close the menu.
If the game is lagging, try selecting the “Low” preset instead.
If the game is still lagging even after you’ve selected the “Low” preset, it means that your graphics card does not support the shader.
When that happens, you need to uninstall Zeal’s Shaders for the game to stop lagging.
Otherwise, the lag will continue—which will make the game unplayable.

Conclusion
Now that you’ve installed shaders on Roblox, you need to check the performance of the game.
Is Roblox lagging for you after you’ve enabled the shader?
If it is, you need to select a lower shader preset.
A high shader preset will increase the lag on Roblox.
On the other hand, a low shader preset will reduce the lag on Roblox.
If Roblox is lagging to the point that you can’t play the game, it means that your PC is not compatible with the shader.
If that’s the case, you need to uninstall the shader.
