Clusters & Subclusters

Streamline your creative workflow by understanding what Clusters are and how to place Elements within them.

Updated over a month ago

What is a cluster?

A cluster is how you organized elements on Cosmos. Think of it like a visual folder or collection. When you save an element, you can choose to keep it in all elements, or assign them to clusters to curate and stay organized.

Clusters allow you to:

  • Keep similar references together.

  • Build visual narratives or curated moodboards.

  • Collaborate with friends.


Creating Clusters

Create a cluster from Create > Cluster on desktop or by tapping + on mobile, then choose new cluster. Set visibility and adjust it anytime from the More options (•••) menu.

There are two types of clusters:

  • Private clusters are only visible to you (and any collaborators you invite).

  • Public clusters can be viewed by anyone.


Creating subclusters

Subclusters are folders inside a cluster — use them to group elements into specific themes or sections. Each subcluster has its own title and cover, and it’s visible to others only if the parent cluster is public.

To create a subcluster, open a cluster, tap +, then select New Subcluster.


Managing clusters

You can manage a cluster from your profile. Just open the cluster you want to edit, then use the more options (•••) menu to edit, organize, or collaborate. You can do the following:

  • Edit cluster: Change the title or description, update the cover photo, toggle Public or Private, or delete the cluster permanently (cannot be undone).

  • Organize elements: Click and hold elements to rearrange. On desktop, you can hold Shift and click multiple elements to take bulk actions like connecting to another cluster or deleting.

  • Invite Collaborators: Premium members can also invite collaborators to their clusters. Collaborators can view and manage elements in a shared cluster. To invite, choose Invite Collaborators from the ••• menu.


How to export a cluster (Premium)

Export a cluster to download its contents to your computer. This is only available to Premium subscribers.

To export a cluster:

  1. Open the cluster and open More options (•••).

  2. Select Export cluster.

  3. Cosmos will generate a .zip file containing all images in the cluster and download it to your device.

Note: The export includes images only. Text and links are not included in the exported clusters at this time.
