Create & edit profiles

A profile is an isolated browser identity: its own cookies, history, cache and a full set of fingerprint settings that are applied every time you launch it. This page walks you through creating a profile from scratch and changing any setting later.

Before you start

Creating profiles requires an active paid plan. Each plan includes a fixed number of profiles, and you cannot create more than your plan allows. See Plans for the exact limits and Subscribe & upgrade to add capacity.

Note

If you have not made a profile yet, the Create your first profile walkthrough is the fastest way to get going. This page is the complete reference for every field.

Create a profile

1. In the app, click New Profile in the top toolbar. The profile form opens.
2. Fill in the fields described below. Only the name is required — everything else has sensible defaults or can be generated for you.
3. Click Save. The profile appears in your list, ready to launch.

The fields are grouped into sections: identity, fingerprint, proxy, geolocation and startup URL.

Name, notes and tags

Field	Required	Notes
Name	Yes	1–100 characters. Shown on the profile card and used for search.
Notes	No	Up to 2000 characters of free-form text — handy for account details, purpose, or reminders.
Tags	No	Labels you assign to group profiles (for example marketing, client-a).

Tags appear as badges on each profile card and power the tag filter in your list. See Organize profiles for filtering, sorting and bulk workflows.

Fingerprint

The fingerprint is the set of values websites read to identify a browser. Santiago lets you control them so each profile looks like a distinct, real device.

The easiest path is to let Santiago build a statistically realistic fingerprint for you:

1. Pick a target operating system: Windows, macOS or Linux.
2. Click Generate next to the OS selector. This fills every fingerprint field at once with values that match real browser populations.
3. Adjust individual fields afterwards if you need to.

Tip

Generating a fingerprint is almost always better than hand-picking values. The generator keeps everything internally consistent (User-Agent, screen size, voices, hardware), which is exactly what trips up manual edits. See Generate a fingerprint for details.

Key fingerprint fields you can review or edit:

Field	Example	What it controls
OS	windows / macos / linux	The platform the fingerprint imitates.
User-Agent	full UA string	How the browser identifies itself to sites.
Screen width / height	1920 × 1080	Spoofed screen resolution (px).
Language	en-US, de-DE	Browser language (BCP-47).
Timezone	America/New_York	Time zone reported by the browser (IANA).
WebRTC	real / fake / disabled	How your IP is reported over WebRTC (see below).

Advanced fields — hardware (CPU cores, device memory), WebGL vendor/renderer, fonts, audio, media-device counts and battery — are available in the form as well. To understand what each one does, see Fingerprint parameters and How fingerprinting works.

WebRTC modes:

Mode	Behaviour
real	Uses your real local IP — no protection.
fake	Reports a spoofed IP (matched to your proxy’s exit IP when a proxy is set).
disabled	Turns WebRTC off entirely.

Caution

If you use a proxy to hide your location, leave WebRTC on fake or disabled. The real mode can leak your true IP even behind a proxy.

Proxy

A proxy routes the profile’s traffic through another IP address. Set it per profile so each identity appears to browse from a different location.

Field	Notes
Type	none, http, socks4 or socks5. Choose none to browse without a proxy.
Host	Proxy server hostname or IP.
Port	1–65535.
Username	Optional, for authenticated proxies.
Password	Optional, for authenticated proxies.

When the type is none, the other proxy fields are ignored. For setup guidance and connectivity checks, see Configure proxies and Test a proxy & GeoIP.

Geolocation

Geolocation controls what coordinates the browser reports when a site requests your location.

Field	Notes
Enabled	If off, the browser denies every geolocation request.
Latitude	−90 to 90.
Longitude	−180 to 180.
Accuracy	In metres (default 10).

You can also let Santiago match coordinates and time zone automatically from your proxy’s exit location, instead of entering them by hand. See Geolocation for how auto-matching works.

Startup URL

You can set a single URL that opens automatically each time the profile launches — for example the login page of the service this profile is dedicated to. Leave it empty to start with a blank tab. The value must be a complete URL (including https://).

Edit a profile

Every field above can be changed after creation.

1. Find the profile in your list and open it (click the card, or use its menu and choose Edit).
2. Change any field — name, notes, tags, fingerprint, proxy, geolocation or startup URL.
3. Click Save.

Editing is allowed even when your subscription is expired, so you can keep your profiles tidy regardless of plan state. (Launching and creating new profiles do require an active plan — see License states.)

Edit while stopped

Edit a profile when it is idle. If the browser is currently running, stop it first so your changes apply cleanly on the next launch.

To change many profiles at once, see Bulk actions.

Profile limits

The number of profiles you can create depends on your plan:

Plan	Profiles
Starter	3
Pro	40
Agency	300

When you reach your limit, the New Profile button is replaced by an Upgrade plan option. Your existing profiles are never touched by a plan change — a downgrade only stops you from creating new ones beyond the lower limit. To raise the limit, see Subscribe & upgrade.

Delete a profile

Deleting a profile removes it from your list. Deletion is a soft delete: the profile is hidden but kept on the server, so it can be recovered if needed. If you delete something by mistake, contact Support.
