Adobe Photoshop UXP Hybrid Plugins is one of 16 APIs that [Adobe Photoshop](https://apis.io/providers/adobe-photoshop/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include C++, Filters, Hybrid, Native Code, and Performance. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a getting-started guide, and an API reference.

A specialized plugin type that combines UXP's JavaScript, HTML, and CSS plugin framework with native C++ code compiled as a .uxpaddon. This allows developers to write performance-critical code in C++ such as pixel-level image processing while using UXP for the user interface layer. Hybrid plugins can integrate with the traditional Photoshop C++ SDK to create filters that appear in Photoshop's Filter menu or implement new file format support. Requires Photoshop v24.2.0 or later.
