Download image
Save an image layer directly to your computer without configuring an export preset.
What Download image does
The Download action on an image layer saves the source file of that image to your computer. It downloads the image as-is — at its original resolution and in its original format — without requiring you to configure an export preset.
Use this when you want a quick save of a single uploaded or AI-generated image.
Downloading an image layer
- Select an image layer on the canvas.
- In the floating inline toolbar, click the Download button (down-arrow icon).
- Your browser triggers a file download. Save it to your preferred location.
Download vs. Export
| Feature | Download | Export |
|---|---|---|
| Setup required | None | Configure format, scale, and name |
| Scale options | Original size | 0.5×, 1×, 2×, 3×, 4×, or 8× |
| Format options | Original file format | PNG, JPEG, or WEBP |
| Multi-layer support | Single image layer | Multiple layers or whole frames |
Use Download for a quick grab of one source image. Use Export when you need control over the format, size, or want to batch-export multiple items.
Tips
- AI-generated images can be downloaded immediately after generation using this action.
- If the image is still uploading or processing (spinner visible), wait for it to complete before downloading.
- To download in a different format or resolution, use the Export panel instead.
