# Skia Standard Elements
### Introduction
Skia standard elements are a collection of elements which use SkiaSharp for rendering. Skia standard elements provide additional types of visuals supported by Gum, but not all runtimes support Skia standard elements.
Skia adds advanced vector graphics support for shapes such as Arc, ColoredCircle, and RoundedRectangle. Skia also adds support for vector file formats such as SVG and Lottie.

Using Skia Standard Elements may limit which platforms can run your Gum project. For more information, see the [Shapes Platform Support](https://docs.flatredball.com/gum/gum-tool/gum-elements/skia-standard-elements/shapes-platform-support) page.
