Shadertoy Custom Texures
Description from store

To load an image/audio/video file, drag and drop it either from your computer or a text/web link onto one of the texture preview slots.

Note that:
1. for textures it only works for 2D types
2. loading images from the web maybe blocked due to cross-origin HTTP requests not being allowed on their servers
3.for text/web links, only ones starting with https will work due to mixed content restrictions

Version 1.4
* removed unnecessary tab permissions

Version 1.3:
* added support for audio and videos files

Version 1.2:
* custom loaded textures now use the same ID as one from shadertoy.com, so you can save projects without issue
* the "changes you made may not be saved" popup will now not be triggered when loading a custom texture over an existing texture

Version 1.1:
* the texture filter and wrap settings are now read from the correct place

doesn't work...

Shocked to discover that it even supports uploading MP4 videos. Well done!

I was really frustrated that ShaderToy didn't let me use my own images, and was delighted to discover that this extension existed. Warning: it does squish your image into the resolution used by ShaderToy, but a little bit of cropping beforehand makes that a non-issue. A huge thank you to the developer of this extension!

Works wonderfully for audio and images, not working with videos for me but still a fantastic upgrade for Shadertoy. Thank you!

This extension makes all shader toy icons invisible, and prevents me from using shader toy. I hate it.

Perfect. This is all that was missing from ShaderToy for me to use it to experiment with shaders!

Works as advertised 😉 I wish Shadertoy would implement something for texture upload natively, but this is a perfect workaround until then.

Perfect for prototyping shaders requiring specific texture types (i.e. normal maps).
