Downloading Images

All images should be available for download in your browser, simple click the download button and select “Save Image As..”. Make sure you remember where you save the file.

On mobile devices - you should click the download button and then (with the image displayed), hold your finger on the image and your menu will appear to save the image to you device (or camera roll on iPhone).

Right Click and Save As

On mobile.

Image Formats

Please note that image format you choose to download will have different features:

  • JPEG / JPG: These images will not have a transparent background
  • PNG: This image format will be used for transparent and lossless quality images
  • PDF: This image format is often requested by professionals for usage in printing etc.

Creating Images

I recommend using an app called Canva (it works on the web, android and iOS) and lets you export without leaving a watermark.
