# Downloading Images

Once you have created one or more images, you can download them to your computer from the image grid, Image View, or bulk selection tools.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Use the official Download controls instead of saving from the browser right-click menu. **The Download controls let you choose the available file type and size** for your image and plan.
{% endhint %}

## Single-image download

You can click an image to open it in **Image View**, then click **Download** <img src="/files/nN8jAfO9DGfnzvDrPrAX" alt="Download icon" data-size="line"> in the **Details Panel**. The download menu lets you choose:

* **File type** - choose from the formats currently available for that image, such as JPEG, PNG, or WebP.
* **Size** - the original size (1K), or upscaled sizes such as 2K, 4K, and 8K where available.

When browsing images in the **Image Gallery** of any page, hover over an image and click the **Download icon** <picture><source srcset="/files/pKduhMzbnyWfWlqHAcoh" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="/files/OH5RDVOoxZgvwNE1EU8W" alt="Download icon" data-size="original"></picture> where it appears.

* **Note that this quick access option will not open the download menu mentioned above.** Instead, your most recently saved download file type and size will be used.

Some file types and sizes require a paid subscription. If an option is locked, the menu will show that an upgrade is required. For transparent outputs, JPEG is disabled because it does not preserve transparency.

Available file types and sizes can vary by image type, account plan, and whether the image has transparency. **Use the Download menu as the source of truth for the current image.**

## Multiple-image download

When viewing images in your Library or in profile tabs where multi-select is available, you can download multiple images in different ways:

1. Use the select tool in the upper right area:
2. Simply drag from an area outside the images to select the images you want to download.

<figure><img src="/files/PevGHoiTl9bZqdsvT2dT" alt="Animation of the My images grid: clicking image checkmarks and dragging a selection box across images, with a bar at the bottom showing the selected count and a Download button"><figcaption><p>Click checkmarks or drag across the grid to select, then use the bottom bar.</p></figcaption></figure>

Once you have selected some images, you can add or remove them as you wish with a single click. Selected images show a checkmark in the upper-left corner. A small box with options will appear at the bottom of the screen, allowing you to download all the selected images.

When you click **Download**, the selected images download as a ZIP file. The downloaded format follows the most recently used download rules for your account and selected images.

## What's next?

Now that you know how to download your images, you can use them as inspiration or just look at them! But what if you want to share with the Ideogram community or friends so that others can use your prompts and images as an example? The next section will go over how sharing images works both within and outside the Ideogram web platform!
