## Overview

Click **Download** at the top of the Studio to open the **Save preview** window. You see every image exactly as it will be saved, speech bubbles included, then choose a file format and a layout and save it to your device.

Downloading **doesn’t use any credits**. You can download the same comic as many times as you like.

## Where to find it

Open a project in the **Studio** and look for the **Download** button in the toolbar at the top of the screen. The **Publish** button for posting to the community sits right next to it.

2. Under **File Format**, pick PNG, JPG, or WebP. If you’re not sure, choose PNG for the best quality, or JPG for smaller files.
3. Under **Page Selection**, choose the pages to save. Use this when you only want part of the comic.
4. Under **Save as**, choose **One per panel**, **Joined**, or **Custom**. The table below explains the difference.

5. Check the preview to see how many images you’ll get and what each one looks like. Every image shows its position and its size in pixels.

### Choosing a layout

| Layout | What you get | Good for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **One per panel** | One image for each panel | Posting panels one by one, like an Instagram carousel (when your panels are 4:5 or 1:1) |
| **Joined** | One long image with every panel joined top to bottom | Reading by scrolling down, like a webtoon |
| **Custom** | Pages laid out the way you set them: columns, rows, spacing, background, and more | Four-panel strips, A4 printouts, Instagram 4:5 posts |

### Building your own layout with Custom

When you choose **Custom**, you can set each of the options below. The preview updates every time you change something.

- **Quick picks** — pick a common layout in one click, such as **Vertical webtoon**, **2×2**, **Instagram 4:5**, or **A4 document**.
- **Columns** and **Rows** — how many panels go across and down on each image. If you set the rows, any extra panels move to the next image.
- **Space between panels** and **Outer margin** — the spacing between panels and around the edge.
- **Background** — the color behind the spacing.
- **Page shape** — the width-to-height shape of each page.
- **Reading order** — to read right to left like Japanese manga, choose **Right to left (manga)**.

***Custom** opened — change the columns, rows, or spacing and the preview on the left updates right away.*

## Good to know

> **Tip:** When you save several images at once, a computer downloads them as one ZIP file, and a phone browser downloads them one after another. Files are named after your project title.

> **Tip:** You can also post straight to your own Instagram or Threads account instead of downloading a file. [SNS automation at a glance](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/sns/sns-basics)

> **Note:** On the **Free**, **Lite**, and **Starter** plans, a GenToon watermark is added to the bottom-right corner of each panel. The preview shows it exactly as it will be saved. [Learn about watermarks](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/export-and-share/watermark)

> **Important:** If a very long comic or a very large image won’t save in one go, follow the tip in the window and save it as JPG a few panels at a time. If that still doesn’t work, [contact us](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/support/contact-support).

## Saving from the app

The Studio in the GenToon app offers the same three layouts. In the app, **Joined** is selected by default, and saved images go to your photo library. If your plan includes a watermark, it’s added when you save, even though the app preview doesn’t show it.

## FAQ

**Does downloading use credits?**

Downloading doesn’t use credits. You can save the same comic as many times as you like.

**How do I download without a watermark?**

On the **Pro** plan and above, images are saved without a watermark. Change your plan on the **Pricing** page ([Change your plan](https://www.gentoon.ai/en/help/credits-and-billing/change-plan)), then download the same comic again to get a clean copy. Files you already saved don’t change.

**What’s the best way to get images sized for Instagram?**

For a carousel, choose **One per panel**. Note that **One per panel** saves each panel in your canvas shape, so 2:3 and 9:16 panels get cropped at the top and bottom in the Instagram feed. In that case, choose **Custom** and set **Columns** to 1, **Rows** to 1, and **Page shape** to 4:5 to get one uncropped 4:5 image per panel. The leftover space is filled with your **Background** color. To fit several panels in one post, choose **Custom** and then **Instagram 4:5**.

**Which settings should I use for printing?**

Choose **Custom**, pick **A4 document**, and save as PNG for the best quality.
