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 viewing images from any feed or your own profile tabs, you can access the download function from the More icon directly under each image then select "Download."

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.

Let's zoom in on the butterfly's wing to compare both image details.
In this animation, notice the presence of compression artifacts on the JPEG image compared to the PNG one.

The image below shows the menu location from your profile tabs’ perspective. The options available in this menu may differ slightly if you are viewing public image feeds, but the Download menu will still be in the same place.

You can also access the More icon while viewing a single image to download it.

Multiple image download

When viewing images 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.
