• Which browsers and operating systems work with Cooliris?

  Cooliris currently supports Firefox (on Windows, Mac, Linux), Internet Explorer, Safari (Mac), and Google Chrome (Windows). See our product specifications page for details.

• How do I launch Cooliris?

  There are three main ways to launch Cooliris. See our tutorials to learn more.

  • Click the Cooliris icon on your browser's toolbar.
  • Click the Cooliris icon on your desktop (on PCs).
  • Click the Cooliris icon that appears when you mouseover images on any supported site, such as Google Images, Facebook, YouTube, or Flickr.

• How do I save images?

  Cooliris does not yet provide a built-in save function. You can, however, jump to the corresponding web page of your highlighted image and then use your browser's native save feature. Just click the "Jump to Page" icon that appears after you've selected an item. Alternatively, you can also favorite any item or bookmark any wall to revisit later.

• How do I open Cooliris in a new tab?

  You can run multiple instances of Cooliris in different tabs. On a PC, simultaneously press Control and click on the Cooliris icon that appears when you mouseover items on supported sites. On a Mac, press Command and click.

• How do I use Cooliris without an internet connection?

  Cooliris is designed for use with an internet connection. However, if you keep a Cooliris page cached when you disconnect from the internet (meaning you haven't closed your browser completely or cleared your cache), you can still browse the files located in "My Computer" when you're offline.

• How do I hide Cooliris display menus and other elements?

  To toggle on/off the display of elements from the Cooliris interface (display menus, search box, footer bar), press the F8 key (on your PC) or Option(Alt)+Esc (Mac).

• Does Cooliris filter search results?

  Results come directly from the search engine you use. When you launch Cooliris directly from a supported site, such as Google Images, Cooliris does not filter out any results. When you use the search box built into Cooliris, Cooliris filters out small images so as to ensure you get the best viewing experience.

• Are local files on my computer private and secure?

  Cooliris takes the privacy of our millions of users very seriously. Files displayed using the My Computer feature of Cooliris are completely private, viewable and stored only on your computer, and are not public in any way.

• How do I remove the Cooliris icon from my desktop?

  For Windows and Linux users, right-click the icon and select "Delete". For Mac users, drag the Cooliris "Launch" icon to the trash.

• Can I view my own website in Cooliris?

  Yes. Cooliris Express provides a quick way to embed and view media content on your website within the Cooliris wall. If you wish to enable Cooliris on your site without embedding a wall, use Media RSS as described in our Developers section.
