Does anyone get annoyed with the fact that InVision doesn't have a simple PNG download option for the design file(s)? (...Problem Solved)

Hey guys - so for years now I have been running into an issue with Invision Prototypes when dealing with clients.

Problem #1: It's not easy to navigate and have to explain InVision every time to a new client. Even if you explain it correctly, they don't end up using the "commenting" option and still send everything in an email or a google doc.

Problem #2: there is no easy way to download the PNG in hi-res without using the Google chrome "inspect" tool.

Solution: when you are in the InVision project screen, you can just click on the chrome extension here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/invision-image-downloader/ckpgkbhmghlngdhikgmdknbmemleikhd and it will automatically download the design file in hi-res PNG.

The app is getting a bit of a refresh in the next week or so but I would love to get some feedback.

Thanks!

    Can we use it for different images and convert the format? I want to use some online tools like https://pngtopdf.net/

      This app is now dead since INvision integrated this directly into their system.

    can't seem to find the option to 'add to chrome'. Instead getting 'price not available', any idea why?

      Hey @renegade hmmm... I am not sure why that is happening. Are you on the latest version of Chrome? It seems to be fine on my end, I just removed it and reinstalled it. If you get a chance to shoot me an email to z@takoagency.com and send over some screen shots, that would be great. I can definitely take a look at it and get back to you.

      Thanks!
