Downloading and Printing
How to download your images from Pixieset
Please be sure to SAVE YOUR IMAGES to a backup or cloud storage space (i.e. iCloud, Hard Drive, USB, CD, Dropbox) once they have been downloaded. Your images will only be online for ONE MONTH after they have been delivered to you.
Important Printing Information
When you print your photos, PLEASE be sure to download them onto your desktop and then send those images for print. The software recognizes what type of device is being used to download them. So, by downloading them on your desktop/computer, they will be downloaded in the higher resolution which will make for better quality prints.
If you download them on your phone, and then send them to the printer from your phone, they will be in a very low and poor quality and the prints will not turn out as well.
How to download your images onto a desktop
If you want to download the entire collection, you simply click on the download icon shown at the top right of the gallery view.
For Single Photo Download, you can either hover over the photo and click the Download button while it’s still in gallery viewing mode OR you can click the image you want to download and click on the Download Icon located on the individual image you would like to download.
An explanation of the different file sizes:
Web Size
The Web Size files are much smaller and therefore are faster to download and upload. They are meant for downloading to your phone and are ideal for sharing on Social Media or for quick viewing.
High Resolution
High Resolution photos are 3600px on the long edge. They can typically be used to print photos up to poster size canvases (though this will depend on the original file size), and are more than sufficient for web use. Our goal is to optimize the file delivery process and make file storage easier for you; with High Resolution photos, you are able to obtain high quality images while enjoying a much faster download experience with files that are easier to manage.
Original
Original images are, as the name suggests, the original files exactly as you uploaded them. This will provide you with the full resolution files you have uploaded, without any compression or resizing. These files take up more space, and will take much longer to download but are great for printing.
