Download ability in our design tool

[DesertSky]

I'd really appreciate it if we could download the designs that we create in the designer/creator design tool. It would be really helpful when creating personalized mock ups/cover photos since I don't have some of the design tool fonts.  It would also be helpful for cover photos of products where I've used the design tool tiling. 

Since download is available in the Create tool which is free to everyone, it seems strange that the ability to download our own designs isn't available to us in our design tool. I clearly don't know the ins and outs of it, but since the Create design tool appears to be the same, it seems like it would be an easy feature to add to our design tool. Wishful thinking I know, but my fingers are crossed! Thanks for considering it, it sure would make Zazzle life easier.

Hi @DesertSky,

I'll be sending this suggestion to our Team now.

Thanks! 🙂

I'd prefer this to NOT be an option, because if it's available on the tool, then it would be available to everyone, and image/design theft is already such a problem even without that type of direct access. 

If it's possible to have to enter a password of the designer account it belongs to, maybe that could work, or some other type of roadblock so that the person who owns the account is the only one who can do it, maybe. 

Then there are the secondary content backgrounds to think about too, those also belong to other Zazzle designers.

The Create tool and Design Tool are the same thing. The main difference is that when you are using the Design Tool you're editing a design that's attached to a physical product, and so downloading is not an option.

You're welcome to create a design (and download it) using our Create tool here: www.zazzle.com/create/designtool

@KC, I just want to clarify, I wouldn't want everyone to be able to download. I was thinking that it would only be available to creators who have stores and we'd only be able to download our own designs made with our own images.

@Scott, Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd already tried using Create and that's what prompted the suggestion. The font sizes and tile spacing are very different in Create vs. the Zazzle design tool. Using the exact same font and font size in Create creates a very different result than in the Zazzle design tool.  Same with tile spacing. It made things more difficult than it needed to be when re-creating a personalized design and a tiled design for mock-ups. I thought the solution would be to just download a copy of the personalized design in the Zazzle design tool.

Thanks also for explaining that we're working on a product not a design, so that's why download isn't available. Knowing that, here's my modified suggestion: It would be really helpful if creators with stores who are signed into their account, had the ability to create a design not attached to a product. Then, provided they used only their own images and/or the free elements, they could download it. Just more wishful thinking. Thanks for listening, I appreciate your time!

@Scott Wow! Wishes do come true! You did it, I'm just in awe! Thank you so much for making this happen. Being able to download our personalized product artwork is such a time saver. I can't even tell you how grateful I am that it's no longer necessary to re-create personalized designs for mock-ups. A simple download saves one big step in the process.  A million thanks to everyone at Zazzle for all that you do, you guys are the best!
