Helpful Hints ~ Downloading a Zipped File                    

 

A “Zipped File” basically means a compressed file. When files are compressed, or zipped, it usually helps decrease the file size significantly so that it is easier to download. If the file is not compressed, it may be too large in its original size to send to download. Once you know how to download a zipped file, it will be easy to download Digital Scrapbooking Tutorials, Digital Papers, Kits, Supplies, and even Digital Scrapbooking Freebies!  

Step 1: Click on Link

 

First, navigate to the website that has the link you would like to download

 

In this example, we would like to download these free digital papers that are available on this particular day

 

Click once on the blue text that says CLICK HERE

Step 2: Save the Download to your Computer

 

A pop-up box will appear

 

Choose Save

 

If you save your downloads to your computer, you can use them later.

 

If you only choose the Open option, you have not saved the download to your computer to use later

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, navigate to the folder that you would like to save this file in

 

You can see that the name of this particular file is “CB_ClowningAround_Kit.zip

 

The “.zip” extension tells you that this is a compressed file

 

Note: It’s important save your download in a folder that you will remember, so that when you need these soon-to-be-downloaded digital papers, you know where they are!

 

Once you have navigated to the right folder, click Save

 

 

Be patient as the download may take a few minutes

 

 

Once the file has finished downloading into your specified folder, it is now saved onto your computer

 

Choose Close

 

Important Note: Please see our next free tutorial that teaches you how to unzip your newly downloaded zipped file, so that you may begin to use and enjoy your recently downloaded digital scrapbooking supplies!
