Unity UI Scaling
Games run on many devices with different screen sizes.
UI must adapt to all resolutions.
Canvas Scaler
Unity provides Canvas Scaler to handle UI scaling.
Set mode to:
- Scale With Screen Size
This ensures consistent UI layout.
Anchors and Layouts
Use anchors to position UI elements relative to screen size.
Avoid fixed pixel positions.
Testing UI
Always test UI on:
- Small screens
- Large screens
- Different aspect ratios

Design UI with flexibility in mind.
