What are the system requirements for Scratch?

Scratch runs on most modern web browsers on desktops, laptops, and tablets. You can view projects on mobile phones, but Scratch does not currently support creating or editing projects on phones. Additionally, some projects cannot be interacted with via mobile phone.

Scratch features on scratch.mit.edu are supported on versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari browsers released within the last 30 months (2.5 years), on any operating system supported by those browsers. Scratch may run on other browsers, but they are not officially supported.
