How to Use Latify: A Complete Walkthrough
Step-by-step guide to creating identities, launching cloud browsers, uploading files, and managing sessions in Latify.
On this page
Latify gives you a real browser running on a server in any country you choose. You control it from your dashboard, your accounts live inside it, and nothing touches your local machine. This guide walks you through every step — from creating your first identity to uploading files and managing sessions.
1. Create an identity
An identity in Latify is an isolated browser profile. It has its own cookies, its own browser fingerprint, and a dedicated residential proxy in the country you pick. Two identities never share anything, so each one looks like a completely separate person on a separate device to the platforms you log into.
To create your first identity:
- Open the dashboard and click New Identity.
- Give it a clear name like
USA YouTubeorUK TikTokso you can find it later. - Pick the country you want the browser to run from.
- Click create — a residential proxy in that country is assigned automatically.
2. Launch the cloud browser
Click Launch on an identity and a real cloud browser opens inside your dashboard. It's a full Chromium browser running from the proxy's location, streamed to your screen in real time.
Everything happens on our servers. Your real IP, device, time zone, and browser fingerprint are never exposed to the sites you visit — they only ever see the cloud browser. From their perspective, you are physically in the country you picked, using a normal residential connection.
Sign into YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or anything else the way you normally would.
3. Upload files to use them
The cloud browser can't reach files on your local computer — that's by design, and it's what keeps your real machine isolated. To upload a video, image, or document to a site inside the cloud browser, you upload it to Latify first.
- Go to the Files section in your dashboard.
- Drag and drop your file, or click upload.
- Switch back to the cloud browser and start the upload flow on whatever site you're using.
- When the site opens a file picker, the Latify file picker appears with your uploaded files. Select one and it attaches instantly.
4. Copy and paste
Copying text from the cloud browser to your local machine works automatically — select, copy, and paste into your local app like normal.
Pasting into the cloud browser depends on your browser:
- Chrome / Edge: Use
Cmd+VorCtrl+Vdirectly. The cloud browser receives it automatically. - Safari, Firefox, and others: Click the Paste button in the toolbar above the cloud browser, paste your text into the dialog, and confirm.
5. Enable audio
The cloud browser streams audio along with video. Because of browser autoplay rules, audio is muted until you interact with the page. Click anywhere inside the cloud browser once to enable sound, then play any video normally.
6. Managing sessions
A session is a running instance of the cloud browser. Sessions stay active while you work and stop automatically after a period of inactivity. Closing a session manually when you're done is good practice — it frees the resource for the next time you need it.
Your identity is separate from the session. Cookies, logins, and browser state are saved to the identity, not the session. The next time you launch the same identity, you'll find yourself logged into all the same accounts.
