Important notes

Paid features: If you used paid features, effects, or assets during editing or designing, you will need to upgrade to Pro or Pro+ to download your work. Options marked with a diamond icon (such as Transparent background and Size in Design) require a Pro subscription. If you only used free features and assets, you can download for free.

For more details on file formats (JPG, PNG, PDF, etc.), see our article: Which File Formats Can I Download Images in?
