Downloading Images

Once you have created one or more images, you might want to download them to your computer. There are different ways to download images generated on Ideogram.

You shouldn't download images using a right-click in browser or by any other means as this may result in downloading smaller or more compressed images than those provided by the official methods below.

Single-image download

When browsing images from any page, you can access the download function simply by hovering your cursor above the image. You will then see the Download icon that you can click to download the image. Alternatively, you can also click the More icon and chose Download JPEG/PNG.

Below are the location of the Download icon/button and the More icon when browsing image or when viewing an image in details.

You will have two options:

  1. JPEG (70% quality) This format is available to everyone. It is a compressed image format that provides smaller file sizes. The 70% quality means the compression might introduce some artifacts, usually visible only at the pixel level. These shouldn’t be noticeable when viewing the image normally.

  2. PNG (100%) This format is available for Basic Plan users and up. It is an uncompressed image format that provides the best quality with no artifacts, as it is the exact image that was generated. This ensures the highest quality possible.

In this animation, notice the presence of compression artifacts on the JPEG image compared to the PNG one.

Multiple image download

When viewing images in your Creations or in your Pinned, Public, or Private profile tabs, 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.

The Select button allows you to choose multiple images and provides several options, including a Download button.
Select individual images or entire sets of four images (like shown above) by dragging.

Once you have selected some images, you can add or remove them as you wish. Selected images will have a red 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 the "Download" button, the selected images will start downloading as a single ZIP file. After decompression, all the images will be in PNG format if you have a Basic Plan or higher, or in JPEG format for Free Plan users.

You can also download all the images generated, not just the cover image, by clicking the grid/single view toggle button located to the left of the "Select" button. This will display all the images generated with a particular prompt, allowing you to download all of them at once, instead of just the cover image.

When viewing images in grid view, selecting an image will download all the images generated with the prompt, not just the cover image.

Once again, you shouldn’t download images by right-clicking in your browser or using other methods, as this could result in downloading smaller or more compressed images than those provided by the official methods above.
