# Google Chrome Browser Optimization Settings for Scanifly

### Google Chrome is Scanifly's Recommended Browser

- The Scanifly webapp at [www.portal.scanifly.com](https://portal.scanifly.com/) runs best on Google Chrome. 
- If you are not currently using Chrome, [we strongly recommend downloading it here to optimize your experience.](https://www.google.com/chrome/dr/download/?brand=CHBD&ds_kid=558716120152&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19930262352&gbraid=0AAAAAoY3CA6zXPzVWPYup8FbDvHcian5g&gclid=CjwKCAiA2svIBhB-EiwARWDPji0Z5UfMS44GUn03KRzzjg5p57SNyu9UM8BvVxmqzfQ21eNoHQILCBoCICYQAvD_BwE)
- Once you are using Chrome, you can apply the following settings to ensure the best possible performance.

We also recommend comparing your system against our [Recommended Hardware & System Requirements.](https://help.scanifly.com/system-requirements?hsLang=en)

### Access Chrome Settings

- Go to Chrome settings by clicking the three-dot menu icon (⋮) in the top right corner and select "Settings," or use the keyboard shortcut: 
    - "Alt + F" (Windows/Linux) or "Command + ," (Mac)

### Ensure Chrome is Up-to-date

- Check for Chrome Updates 
    - In Chrome Settings navigate to the "About Chrome" menu option all the way at the bottom of the list on the left
    - This should trigger an automatic update check, which will either confirm you are up to date, or ask you to update, which may require re-launch

### Enable Graphics Acceleration (Most important)

![](https://help.scanifly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-11-2025-04-13-04-1944-PM.png?width=521&height=289&name=image-png-Nov-11-2025-04-13-04-1944-PM.png)

 

-  Navigate to the **System** menu (near the bottom of the list on the left).
- Toggle **ON** "Use graphics acceleration when available."
- You will need to relaunch Chrome for this setting to take effect.

### Still having issues? - Clear browser data

- **Important Note: When clearing cached data, you will likely be logged out of most websites, including Scanifly. Please have your usernames and passwords available to log back in.** 
    - Within Chrome Settings, navigate to the "Privacy and Security" menu option, third from the top of the list on the left
    - Select "Delete Browsing Data", and choose the time frame for data clearing  
          - A pop-up will appear. You can start with a recent time range (e.g., "Last 24 hours"), but the most effective way to get a complete refresh is to choose **All time**.
    - Once you have confirmed your time range, click "Delete Data"
