# 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.

{% hint style="warning" %}
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.
{% endhint %}

## Single-Image Download

When browsing images in the [**Image Gallery**](/using-ideogram/ui-overview/ui-components/image-gallery.md) of any page, you can quickly download an image by hovering your cursor over it. A **Download icon** <picture><source srcset="/files/pKduhMzbnyWfWlqHAcoh" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="/files/OH5RDVOoxZgvwNE1EU8W" alt="" data-size="original"></picture> will appear — click it to save the image directly to your device.

Alternatively, click the image to open it in **Image View**, then click the **Download** button in the **Details Panel**. The button is a **split button**: clicking the main area downloads the image immediately, while clicking the **arrow icon** on the right opens a **dropdown menu** with additional download options:

* **JPEG (70% quality)** – Available to all users. A compressed format offering smaller file sizes. The 70% quality setting may introduce minor compression artifacts, typically visible only at the pixel level and not noticeable during normal viewing.
* **PNG (100%)** – Available to **Basic Plan** users and higher. An uncompressed format that preserves the exact generated image, ensuring maximum visual quality with no compression artifacts.

## 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.

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.

{% hint style="warning" %}
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.
