What are the system requirements for Scratch?

To run Scratch 2, you need a relatively recent web browser (Chrome 35 or later, Firefox 31 or later, or Internet Explorer 9 or later) with Adobe Flash Player version 10.2 or later installed. Scratch 2 is designed to support screen sizes 1024 x 768 or larger. If your computer doesn’t meet these requirements, you can try downloading and installing Scratch 1.4, which you can still use to share projects to the Scratch 2 website.

Do you have a downloadable version so I can create and view projects offline?

The Scratch 2 offline editor (beta version) is now available. You can also still use Scratch 1.4. Note: You can have both Scratch 1.4 and 2 on your computer.

How much does Scratch cost? Do I need a license?

Scratch is and always will be free. You don’t need a license to use Scratch in your school, home, or anywhere else. The development and maintenance of Scratch is paid for by grants and donations. If you’d like to contribute to Scratch, check out our Donate page.
