# Download

Download one image in the file type and size you want, or many images and videos at once as a ZIP.

Use Ideogram's **Download** button rather than your browser's "Save image". The button lets you pick the file type and size.

## Download one image

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the image

Open the image to see its asset page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Click Download

Click **Download** in the action bar.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Pick a file type

Pick a **File type**: **JPEG**, **PNG** or **WEBP**.

<figure><img src="https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-dd298ca48fb640a13975a89a49a76057a2106a40%2Fdownload-2.png?alt=media" alt="Download menu with the File type field set to PNG highlighted"><figcaption><p>Choose the file type.</p></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Pick a size

Pick a **Size**: **1K**, **2K**, **4K** or **8K**. Each size shows its pixel dimensions and a tag:

* **(Original size)**: the image as it was made.
* **(Upscale)**: Ideogram upscales the image first, then downloads it.

<figure><img src="https://1799634369-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzjhNby3LLsIikYuvxAJP%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-6a0f9e2989008c2d8a75291fc77ea0abc98d0fcf%2Fdownload-3.png?alt=media" alt="Open Size list with 1K, 2K (Original size), 4K (Upscale) and 8K (Upscale) and their pixel dimensions highlighted"><figcaption><p>Each size shows its pixel dimensions and a tag.</p></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Download

Click the button at the bottom of the menu.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The menu lists the original size, any smaller sizes, and upscale sizes up to the largest that fits. A 2K image, for example, offers 1K, 2K (Original size), 4K and 8K. The button text changes with your choice:

| Button                    | When                                                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Download**              | You picked the original size or a smaller one.                                                                                                                  |
| **Upscale & download**    | You picked an upscale size. This spends credits, and the button shows how many. See [how credits work](/plans-and-billing/available-plans.md#how-credits-work). |
| **Subscribe to download** | Your choice needs a paid plan.                                                                                                                                  |

To control the upscaler yourself, use the Upscale app instead. It works without a plan if you've [bought credits](/plans-and-billing/buying-extra-credits.md), while **Upscale & download** needs a paid plan. See [Upscale](/edit/upscale.md).

### Free and paid accounts

|                       | Without a paid plan                   | With a paid plan   |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| JPEG at original size | Yes                                   | Yes                |
| PNG or WEBP           | No, except transparent images (below) | Yes                |
| Upscale sizes         | No                                    | Yes, for credits   |
| Starts on             | JPEG, original size                   | PNG, original size |

Options you can't use show a crown icon. Click one to see plans. See [Available Plans](/plans-and-billing/available-plans.md).

### Transparent images

Images with a removed or transparent background are different. Anyone can download them as PNG at 1K, free. JPEG is turned off for them, because JPEG can't keep transparency. See [Transparent Backgrounds](/create/transparent-backgrounds.md) and [Remove Backgrounds and Objects](/edit/remove-backgrounds-and-objects.md).

## Quick download from the grid

Tiles in Assets show a Download icon, and the right-click menu has **Download image**. Both skip the menu and download the original size: PNG on a paid plan or for transparent images, otherwise JPEG.

## Download many at once

Ideogram builds a ZIP file named `ideogram-images-<date>.zip`. Images come as PNG if you subscribe and JPEG if you don't.

The ZIP also holds a CSV file with one row per item. It lists the file name, prompt, Magic Prompt text, aspect ratio, model, visibility, seed, style, color palette and a link to the asset.

Limits:

* Up to 250 items in one selection.
* Up to 50 videos in one download.
* One bulk download at a time. If you start another, you'll see "You already have bulk downloads in progress…".

To download a whole collection, open its **…** menu and click **Download**.

## Videos

Videos download as one MP4 file, named after the asset. There's no format or size choice. If a video is still being made, you'll see "Video is not available for download yet."
