# Save vs. Download

## Similar, but different.

**DOWNLOAD:**  
With appropriate permission status, you can download photos and videos from Vidigami directly to your computer or mobile device.  Example: a parent who finds great photos of their child/children in a Vidigami album posted by a teacher or another parent can download the media files to their own device for personal use. (*Vidigami advises all community members to respect the privacy rights of each family and staff members by never publishing media outside of Vidigami \[to social media...etc\] without the consent of the subjects involved*.)

See "[How do I download photos?](https://help.vidigami.com/knowledge/how-do-i-download-photos?hsLang=en)"

**SAVE:**  
You have the option to "save" photos and videos to your "MY SAVED" folder **within** Vidigami. This is a handy location for keeping media accessible online for quick viewing or future reference. 

To "Save" media to your "MY SAVED" folder, [click here](https://help.vidigami.com/knowledge/how-do-i-save-media-to-my-saved-folder?hsLang=en).
