Etsy Digital Files

Best Etsy Digital Downloads Frugal Coupon Living Shop

An Etsy digital download is any product that you purchase and download without a physical copy. This can come as a DOC, PDF, PNG, JPEG or even SVG file.

If you have made a purchase of digital files on Etsy, it is important to know where to find your print shop digital downloads. Guess what. You can’t download Etsy digital files on iPhone, iPad or Android app. Right now you cannot download a digital purchase through the Etsy app. However, after your purchase it is really easy to access Etsy digital downloads on a non-mobile desktop computer or using your mobile browser.

If you are purchasing digital files, I suggest having an Etsy account and not checking out as a guest. Digital files are available once your payment is confirmed. If you made your purchase online, give it a few minutes for your Paypal or credit card to process.

To access your digital downloads after purchase, in your Etsy account you will see a “View your files” link which goes to the Downloads page. Here, you can download all the files associated with your order. Look for the button, “download files.”

Etsy Digital Download Help

how to find my digital download on Etsy

With everything online, it is easy to run into trouble. Working off a major retailer like Etsy means there isn’t always someone available at the help desk. Let’s answer some digital files frequently asked questions for Etsy.

How do I know if I purchased a digital download?

If you’re unsure if you’ve purchased a Digital Item, you can always go back to the listing page. If it is a digital download, you should see an “Instant Download” message on the images for the item.

How to download Etsy digital files on iPhone, iPad or Android App

Right now you cannot use the Etsy app to print or download Etsy digital files. Instead, access Etsy digital downloads on a non-mobile desktop computer or using your mobile browser.

How do I access Etsy digital files from my account?

To access your digital downloads from your Etsy account:

  1. Sign in to Etsy.com and go to Your account.
  2. Go to Purchases and reviews.
  3. Next to the order, select Download Files. This goes to the Downloads page for all the files attached to your order.

On the download page, you will see the Etsy digital download file size. Each digital product is a different size.

Once you have downloaded your digital files, you can take the next steps for printing as you would for any file on your computer.

I don’t have an Etsy account

Sigh. I get it. It is common to have the desire to checkout as a guest. If you are purchasing something like a digital file you want access to forever, check out with an Etsy account in the future.

The good thing, is you are not a lost cause. If you do not have an Etsy account you can download your digital files from your inbox. Look for an email from transaction@etsy.com in your inbox. Be sure to also check your spam or junk inbox and your social or promotions tabs.

Contact the Seller

If you continue to have trouble with your Etsy digital downloads, you can contact the seller using Etsy Messages. Supply the email address you used for purchase as well as the order number (if you have it.) I would also be helpful to tell the seller the product you purchased and the time and day. This will allow the Etsy seller to quickly access your order and confirm your purchase.

How do I print Etsy Digital downloads

Once you have downloaded the file, you can simply upload the file to the printer of your choice, or transfer the file to an external drive and take it into your local print shop.
