# Blit in URP

To blit from one texture to another in a custom render pass in the Universal Render Pipeline (URP), use the [Blitter API](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core@latest?subfolder=/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.Blitter.html) from the Core Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP).

The shader you use with the `Blitter` API must be a hand-coded shader. [Shader Graph](https://docs.unity3d.com/2022.3/Documentation/Manual/shader-graph.html) shaders aren't compatible with the `Blitter` API.

**Note:** The recommended best practice is not to use the `CommandBuffer.Blit` or `Graphics.Blit` APIs with URP, or APIs that use them internally such as `RenderingUtils.Blit`. These APIs might break XR rendering, and aren't compatible with native render passes. You can still use `CommandBuffer.Blit` and `Graphics.Blit` with the Built-In Render Pipeline.

For example, add the following:

```c#
{
    Blitter.BlitCameraTexture(commandBuffer, sourceTexture, destinationTexture, materialToUse, passNumber);
}
```

For a full example, refer to [Example of a complete Scriptable Renderer Feature](../renderer-features/how-to-fullscreen-blit.md).
