Downloading images

Downloading an image from ChurchArt Online is simple.

Find an image. Search or browse the library, then select an image thumbnail to open its Image Detail page.
Choose a file format. The available download buttons appear on the Image Detail page. Depending on the item, options may include:
- Images: JPG, PNG, TIF or WMF
- Videos: MP4 or WMV in HD or SD
- Templates and other files: DOCX, PPT, PDF or ZIP
  
  Only formats available for that particular item will be shown.
Download the file. Select the format you want. The file will download to the location specified in your browser settings.
Customize it first, if desired. Select Modify with AI or Edit in Canva when one of those options is available for the image. After making your changes, follow the prompts to download the customized image.

Tip: JPG works well for most print and digital projects. Choose PNG when you need a transparent background.

Downloading an Image Created with Edit Caption

After you finish customizing an image with Edit Caption, select the desired file type beneath the image. The edited image will download the same way as other ChurchArt images.

Downloading an Image on a Mac

No special software is required. Follow the instructions above to choose a file format and download the image.

Important: WMF files are not compatible with most Mac applications. We recommend choosing JPG or PNG instead.

Allowing Multiple Downloads in Edge or Chrome

If you begin several downloads close together, Edge or Chrome may ask whether you want to allow multiple files to download from ChurchArt. Select Allow.

If you accidentally selected Always Block, clicking a download button may appear to do nothing. Look near the right end of your browser’s address bar for a blocked-download icon. Select it, then choose Continue allowing automatic downloads of multiple files or the equivalent option.

If the icon does not appear, open your browser’s automatic-download settings:

Chrome: Enter chrome://settings/content/automaticDownloads in the address bar and press Enter.
Edge: Enter edge://settings/content/automaticDownloads in the address bar and press Enter.

If ChurchArt appears under Not allowed to automatically download multiple files, remove it from that list. You may see more than one ChurchArt-related address if you have downloaded files from both the main site and the Caption Editor. Remove each blocked ChurchArt entry.
