# Shader Graph Baker [**Shader Graph Baker**](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/shader-graph-baker-234395?aid=1011lvgVb) is the editor and runtime tool for baking Unity’s **Shader Graph** nodes output into a texture file(s). Useful for creating procedural, gradient, noise or custom effect textures, generating [normal](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StandardShaderMaterialParameterNormalMap.html) and other types of maps, optimizing shader by replacing a complex set of static nodes with just a texture, creating frame atlases, generating image sequences, [Texture2DArray](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Texture2DArray.html) and [Texture3D](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Texture3D.html) assets.
