How To Use AnyDesk

A New Perspective on Remote Desktop
You know how remote desktop used to be: slow and tedious. For the development of AnyDesk, we took a step back and asked ourselves fundamental questions. How should remote desktop work? What is feasible with modern computer hardware? AnyDesk was designed from the ground up to be ground breaking. At its core is DeskRT, a new video codec that is specifically designed for graphical user interfaces. That's why AnyDesk is one leap ahead.
AnyDesk is the fastest remote desktop software on the market. It allows for new usage scenarios and applications that have not been possible with current remote desktop software.

​

Framerate
AnyDesk transmits 60 frames per second over local networks and many internet connections. This is much more than any competing remote desktop application and makes on-screen movement as smooth as possible, as most PC displays also operate at 60 frames per second. AnyDesk makes jerk-free working possible
 

​

Latency
Latency at the lowest possible level is critical for working on a remote desktop. The lower the latency, the quicker the remote PC responds to your input. Since internet connections always impose a certain latency when transmitting data from one PC to the other, it is very important that AnyDesk adds as little as possible to the bill. In local networks, AnyDesks latency lies below 16 milliseconds and is no longer perceptible.

​

Traffic
If remote desktop software is used over an internet connection, the highest possible bandwith efficiency is the deciding factor. This is especially true for mobile connections like UMTS. AnyDesks bandwidth efficiency makes it possible to perform office tasks fluently from 100 kB/sec of available bandwidth. But also with lower bandwidths, AnyDesk still performs much better than the competition.

​

Access
Forget about low reliability and tedious firewall configurations. Use your personal computer from anywhere and without any headaches. Whether for five minutes or five hours - you won't even notice AnyDesk is there. Your personalized AnyDesk-ID is the key to your desktop with all your applications, photos, documents and files. And your data stays where it belongs. On your hard drive, and nowhere else.

​


Collaborate
Do you feel bad about entrusting your company data with an external cloud service just to enable collaboration? AnyDesk allows you to you work together with all of your favorite desktop applications. Features like a mouse cursor for every user will glue your team together, no matter what distance. Point your peers at what's important - and communication problems will be a thing of the past

​

Assist
Did you know that remote support can be fun? AnyDesk can do so much more than just remote administration and remote support. But this doesn't mean that it cannot shine here as well. Lag and low framerate can be such a nuisance. That's why we chose to get rid of them. With AnyDesk, setting up a workmate's new printer or installing that new CRM tool for the sales department is a walk in the park

​

No Borders
Annoyed by multiple versions of your documents floating around? Tired of copying your files between your devices all the time? Go home early with AnyDesk. Use office software from your laptop and don't worry about license issues or performance. And if your laptop gets stolen, your business secrets will be safe on your office computer - no need to trust cloud based services.
Our worldwide server network provides an easy, fast, and secure connection from anywhere.

 


No Lags
Switch the turbo on. AnyDesk uses DeskRT to provide a considerably better image quality and responsiveness than competing screensharing and remote desktop products. DeskRT is a new and innovative video codec specifically designed for the transmission of image material from graphical user interfaces.
AnyDesk connections are being routed over Erlang-based servers. This technology is widely used in large and robust telecommunication systems. And its reliability makes sure our product is available whenever you need it.

 

No Limits
A great tool should boost your productivity. This is why we designed AnyDesk to stay out of your way. AnyDesk is the first remote desktop software that doesn't require you to think about what you can do. CAD, video editing or simply working comfortably with an office suite for hours are just a few examples.
With all of this versatility, AnyDesk is still surprisingly easy to use. Everything you need is only a few clicks away and aligned in a clear and simple user interface.

​

Secure
Don't be misled by the security claims of competing solutions. AnyDesk offers TLS1.2 based encryption which is also used in online banking.
We take security very seriously. Both ends of a connection are cryptographically verified so no one can take over your AnyDesk-ID and pretend to be you.
Set up your own AnyDesk-Enterprise-Network if you need absolute certainty no one else is pulling the strings. With AnyDesk's network appliance on-premise, no unencrypted data will ever leave your company's DMZ.


Versatile
We believe that a good tool should be for everyone. At home or at the office, AnyDesk can make your day easier. For casual private use, AnyDesk is free. For regular home or office use we offer flexible plans with many useful premium features for private power users and companies.
One more thing: Have you ever seen your recently purchased software license become obsolete over night? This won't happen with AnyDesk. Your license will cover all future versions.

​

Lightweight
All users who dislike bloated software as much as we do will love how AnyDesk sets new standards in portability. We managed to pack all these features into an incredibly small file of just one megabyte. Downloaded in a glimpse, sent via email, or fired up from your USB drive, AnyDesk will turn any desktop into your desktop in seconds. No administrative privileges or installation needed.
AnyDesk is here to stay. If you choose to keep it on your PC, just launch the integrated installer and set it up with three clicks.
