Downloading Your Files
After purchasing an icon set, you will be re-directed to an order confirmation screen with an instant download link.
The download link will also be emailed you. You will receive two automated e-mails from our website. One will be your order confirmation e-mail, and the other will be an e-mail containing the instant download link/s to your new digital goodies! This download link expires in 24 hours, so make sure to download within this time frame. If your download link has expired, contact me here with your order number & I’ll send you a new link.
Open the digital download e-mail on your iPad and tap the download link. Your download may open in Safari. Select Save to Files.
Our icon sets are delivered as a ZIP file containing three sub-folders with everything you need.
In your ‘Files’ app, tap on any zip files to uncompress them.
