Optimized browsers for Lucid

Lucidchart and Lucidspark are web apps written in Javascript, which means they rely on the Javascript engine of each browser to function properly. Google Chrome’s Javascript engine is the best for Lucidchart and Lucidspark, so we recommend using Google Chrome for optimal performance. If you cannot use Chrome, the next best option is to work in Firefox and then Safari (if on a Mac).

Internet Explorer is the least ideal browser because there are multiple versions and some are outdated for web apps like Lucidchart and Lucidspark. Internet Explorer 11 is supported, but we strongly recommend making sure that compatibility mode is turned off.

Please ensure you're on the latest version of a browser by following the appropriate links:
