📥 First things first... how do I download my files?
If you’re wondering how to actually download your design files, we’ve got you!
👉 Check out this article here for a quick step-by-step on how to download your Penji projects. It’ll walk you through the process so you can start using your files in no time!
🧾 What’s Inside the Download Folder?
Once your files are downloaded and unzipped, here’s what you’ll typically find inside:
PNG & JPEG – Perfect for websites, social media, emails, basically anything digital.
PDF – Great for printing or sharing with others.
Source Files (like AI, PSD, etc.) – These are editable files in case you want to tweak your design later.
🎁 Think of it as a little design goodie bag, all zipped up for you!
🛠️ What Exactly Are Source Files?
Glad you asked! Source files are the editable versions of your design. If you or another designer ever wants to update your design in the future, you’ll need these.
Here's a quick rundown:
AI (Adobe Illustrator) – Ideal for logos and vector graphics.
PSD (Adobe Photoshop) – Used for complex, layered designs.
EPS or SVG – Scalable formats for printing or resizing without losing quality.
⚠️ Don’t see a source file in your folder? No biggie—just message your designer in the project chat and they’ll upload it for you. Easy!
🤷♀️ Do I Have to Use Source Files?
Nope! If you’re not planning to make edits and just need ready-to-go versions (like JPEGs or PDFs), you’re good to go.
But if you ever do want to change something down the road, having the source files will save you a ton of time and effort.
