Download Images for Your Project
Overview
Once you've selected the right image, download the version that matches how you plan to use it. A brochure, website banner, proposal PDF, and Instagram post may all need different image sizes or formats - this article walks you through the download workflow.
Whether you're creating a website, presentation, brochure, factsheet, or social post, the Media Library offers multiple download options, so you get the right image, in the right format, without manually editing it.
Which download option should you use?
| Marketing output | Recommended option | Why |
| Website/destination page | Resize | Avoid large original files; optimize for page load times. |
| Printed brochure | Original | Preserve quality for professional design and print. |
| Proposal ( For PDF/PowerPoint) | Resize | Maintain good quality while avoiding oversized files. |
| Social media post | Download preset (or Crop if no preset fits) | Use channel-appropriate dimensions and strong composition. |
| Email attachment | Compress | Reduce file size for easier sharing. |
| Website banner | Crop, then Resize/Compress if needed | Prioritize composition and format together. |
Important: Downloading a customized version never modifies the original asset stored in the Media Library - it's always safe to experiment with different formats.
Before you publish, double-check that the file you downloaded actually matches your channel - an oversized original for a website slows page load time, while a compressed file in a print brochure can look blurry.
