You are able to resize or crop images before you download them from Dash, either by selecting from a number of preset sizes, or applying your own custom resize.
To download an asset using a preset size
When viewing an asset, just click the download icon in the top menu bar (a downwards arrow) and you'll see a menu of the different options available to you. It will look something like this:
You have various different options when downloading:
Download the Original asset. This will download the asset in exactly the same format as you originally uploaded it.
Download using a preset size, which can be either a resize or a crop, that has been preconfigured by your Admins and available to all users. See this article for more on preset sizes.
Download a pre-configured social media size
Choose a custom size, which lets you manually crop and/or resize the image according to your needs at the time
Cropping an image when downloading
Here's how to crop an image manually when you download (as opposed to using a Preset Size):
On any image asset, select the Download button, then click "Custom download" and then "crop". You'll see a screen like this:
Now you can
Choose whether to free crop or fix the aspect ratio using the padlock icon
Enter the specific crop dimensions or freely drag the selection
Click inside the crop selection area to drag it to a different position
When you're ready, click "Confirm crop", and you'll see a preview of your image in its new dimensions. If you would like to resize the image at this point, you can do so, and then click Download.
Resizing an image when downloading
To resize an image before you download it, choose "Custom crop" from the Download menu, and you will see the resizing sliders.
Resizing preserves the image's aspect ratio, so adjusting one of the dimensions will adjust the other. To change an image's aspect ratio you may choose to crop the image instead (see above).
About filenames when downloading
Here is some information about how we handle filenames when downloading:
Downloading an original file
When downloading an original file using the "Original" download option, the filename will be exactly the same as the filename of the asset when you uploaded it to Dash, e.g. photo of tree.jpg.
Downloading a preset size
When downloading an asset using a preset size, we append the name of preset to the end of the filename, e.g. photo of tree - Small.jpg.
Downloading a custom size
When downloading an asset using custom dimensions (from the "Custom" download menu option), the chosen image dimensions are appended to the end of the filename, e.g. photo of tree - 478 x 589.jpg.
Downloading in custom sizes from public share pages
It is possible to access the custom and preset download sizes from public share pages such as quick share links, portals and shared collections.
To do this:
Open your public share page
Open a specific asset you'd like to download in a different size (don't click the download button on thumbnail)
In the large asset view page, click the Download button. You will be shown the custom download options.
