{{main|Thick client}}

A ''thick client'', also known as a ''rich client'' or ''fat client'', is a client that performs the bulk of any data processing operations itself, and does not necessarily rely on the [[Server (computing)|server]]. The [[personal computer]] is a common example of a fat client, because of its relatively large set of features and capabilities and its light reliance upon a server. For example, a computer running an [[Art software|art program]] (such as [[Krita]] or [[Sketchup]]) that ultimately shares the result of its work on a network is a thick client. A computer that runs almost entirely as a standalone machine save to send or receive files via a network is by a standard called a [[workstation]].
