Create immersive 3D experiences on Roblox with **Roblox Studio**, a free application available on Windows and Mac.

## System Requirements

The following system specifications ensure that Studio runs smoothly:

- **Windows (64-bit)** &ndash; Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, or 11. For Windows 10 or earlier, you also need Internet Explorer 11 or higher and the latest version of [WebView2](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/#download-section).&sup1;
- **Mac** &ndash; macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and above.
- **Processor** &ndash; Processor with a clock speed of 1.6 GHz or better.
- **RAM** &ndash; 4 GB of system memory.
- **Hard Disk** &ndash; At least 10 GB of available hard disk space after installation.
- **Graphics Card** &ndash; A computer less than 5 years old with a dedicated video card or a laptop less than 3 years old with an integrated video card.
- **Internet Access** &ndash; At least 4-8 Mb/s to keep Studio up-to-date and save projects to your Roblox account.

<figcaption>&sup1; When installing [WebView2](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/#download-section) for Windows 10 or earlier, try the **Evergreen Standalone Installer** if the **Evergreen Bootstrapper** installation fails.</figcaption>

## Installing Studio

To install Roblox Studio on your Windows or Mac computer:

1. Click the following **Download Studio** button. A pop-up dialog displays.

<UseStudioButton variant='blueLogoIconButton' />

1. Find the Studio installer in your browser's download history and double-click the file.

- On Windows, the file is `RobloxStudio.exe`.
- On Mac, the file is `RobloxStudio.dmg`.

1. After Studio finishes installing, a pop-up confirmation displays. Click the **Launch&nbsp;Studio** button.

1. Sign in to Studio with your Roblox account. If you don't have an account, create one at [roblox.com](https://www.roblox.com/) and follow the tips on [securing your account](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313380-Account-Security-Theft-Keeping-your-Account-Safe-).

## Customization

Many customization options are accessible via **File**&nbsp;&rang; **Studio Settings** (<kbd>Alt</kbd><kbd>S</kbd> on Windows; <kbd>⌥</kbd><kbd>S</kbd> on Mac). You can quickly locate known settings by typing keywords into the search field at the top of the window. For example, search for "theme" to explicitly set Studio to dark theme or light theme.

<Alert severity="success">
In addition to general settings, you can customize Studio's [window layout](../studio/ui-overview.md#customizing-the-layout) to best suit your workflows.
</Alert>

## Updating Studio

In contrast to certain other engines, every experience runs on the latest version of the Roblox engine. You should keep Studio up-to-date to utilize the latest APIs and features.

If your current version of Studio is outdated, you'll see an **Update Available** button in the upper-right corner. Clicking the button will prompt you to save/close the currently open place so that Studio can automatically update and restart.
