In this post, we’ll show you how to download your uploaded images directly, how to manage your media, and a few pro tips to stay organized.

📁 Download Tips & Best Practices
Here are some ways to keep your downloads safe and organized:
📂 Create folders for different upload types (e.g., personal, business, social media)
🕓 Set a reminder to download guest uploads within 7 days
🔁 Keep backups in cloud storage or USB drives
🔐 Never share your download links publicly if the image is private
💡 Bonus Tip: Consider uploading your edited image back to AR Host with password protection for secure sharing.
🔄 Want to Re-Download an Expired Guest Upload?
Unfortunately, once a guest upload expires, it cannot be recovered. You’ll need to re-upload the original file.
That’s why we recommend creating an AR Host account — it’s free, and it gives you long-term storage and better control over your images.
