Lingo makes it easy to download assets in the format and size you need. You can download individual assets with conversion options, or grab multiple assets at once as a ZIP file.
Where to download from
You can download assets from several locations in Lingo:
Canvas view
Hover over any asset and click the download icon that appears. This opens the download menu with all available format options.
Bottom bar
Select one or more assets, then click the Download button in the bottom bar. If you've selected a single asset, you'll see format options. Multiple assets will download as a ZIP file.
Inspector panel
With an asset selected, click the Download button in the inspector panel to see all available export options.
Single asset downloads
When downloading a single asset, you'll see the available export options:
Preset exports
Many assets include preset export options configured by your team, such as:
PNG @ 2x (for high-resolution displays)
SVG @ 1x (for scalable vector graphics)
JPG @ 72 DPI
These presets make it quick to download assets in your team's standard formats.
Custom exports
For more control, use the custom export option to:
Choose from available file formats (PNG, SVG, JPG, PDF, etc.)
Specify custom sizes (e.g., "300w" for 300px wide, "2x" for double size)
Set specific dimensions for your needs
The available formats depend on the original asset type. Learn more about converting and resizing assets.
Copy to clipboard
Copying images
For PNG and SVG files, you can copy the asset directly to your clipboard instead of downloading:
Open the download menu for an asset
Click the Copy button next to any PNG or SVG export option
Paste the image directly into your design tool, document, or email
This is especially useful when you need to quickly grab an asset without saving a file to your computer.
Copying colors
For color assets, you can copy color values in various formats:
Select a color asset
In the inspector panel, choose your preferred format: HEX, RGB, HSB, PMS, or CMYK
Click the format button to copy the color value to your clipboard
Paste the value into your design tool or code
Each format is useful for different workflows - HEX for web development, RGB for digital design, CMYK for print, and PMS for brand color matching.
Downloading multiple assets
When you need several assets at once:
Select multiple assets using Shift-click or Cmd/Ctrl-click
Click the Download button in the bottom bar
Lingo packages your selection into a ZIP file
All assets download in their original format and size
Note that conversions and resizing are not available when downloading multiple assets. For format or size changes, download assets individually.
What can be downloaded
Most asset types can be downloaded, including images, vectors, videos, and documents. Some item types cannot be downloaded:
Colors (use the copy button to copy color values instead)
URL assets (these are external links)
Download permissions
Download availability depends on your space permissions. Some spaces may require identity verification or approval before downloads are enabled. If downloads are disabled, contact your space admin.
