The CKFinder interface is designed to be clean, familiar to end users, and easy to learn and use. Most features can be handled with a mouse click as well as by using the context menus.

If you are familiar with desktop file browsers built in most operating systems available for your PC or laptop, you will quickly see that using an online file manager is just as easy and intuitive.

The following is a screenshot of the CKFinder interface:
