How Do I Enable Downloads?

Follow these steps to allow your clients to download images from your gallery.

Written by Renee

If you’ve uploaded a gallery and would like your clients to download images, you can enable downloads, manage the download options and permissions.
​

Whether your clients need to download individual shots or the entire album, you can control and customize your gallery's download settings to best suit everyone's preferences.

Step 1: Access the Gallery Settings

  • In the gallery menu on the left, click on Downloads.

Step 2: Enable Downloads and Download Type Permissions

  • On the Downloads settings page, turn on the Enable Downloads toggle switch (to green), and more download options will appear.

  • In the Download Type and Size section, you can enable different download types:
    ​

    • All Images: Allows clients to download all images within the gallery at once.
      ​

    • Single Images: Allows clients to download individual images.

    • Videos: Allows clients to download videos.
      ​

    • Limited Quantity: Lets you control the number of images a client can download. The options All Images or Single Image cannot be enabled at the when Limited Quantity is enabled.

Tip: Consider your client’s needs when choosing download permissions. For example, if you’re sharing a large event album, clients might appreciate the option to download the entire gallery. Other clients may only need individual images.

Step 3: Select Image Size

Choosing the appropriate image size ensures that clients receive images in the quality they need, while also helping manage download times.

  • Next to the Download Type and Size section, select an image size option from the list:
    ​

    • Original Size is ideal for high-resolution needs.
      ​

    • X-Large Size is ideal for large prints like posters at 3200 pixels.
      ​

    • Medium Sizes down to 600 pixels are available for quicker downloads and smaller file sizes.

  • Once you’ve configured all download options and set the desired permissions, click on the Save button.

Note: To enable download permissions for specific gallery folders, see the next section.

Step 4: Enable Downloads for Specific Folders (Optional)

If your gallery contains multiple folders, such as one for high-resolution images and another folder for web-quality images, you may want to enable downloads for certain folders only. This helps keep your download options organized for clients.

  • Go to the Settings By Folder section.

  • Click on Selected Folders and turn on the toggle switch next to the folder(s) you would like to enable downloads for.

  • Once you’re done with your gallery download settings, click on the Save button.

  • After saving, preview your gallery. You should see download icons on individual images, as well as an option to download the entire gallery if you enabled it.​
