Download

Download images as JPEG, PNG or WEBP from 1K to 8K, save transparent PNGs, upscale as you download, or get many images and videos 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, save a transparent PNG, or upscale an image as you download it.

Download

Click the button at the bottom of the menu.

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.

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, while Upscale & download needs a paid plan. See Upscale.

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 and Remove Backgrounds and Objects.

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.

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."
