FAQ: Digital Downloads

I Don’t See a Download Form in the Blog Post. What Am I Looking For?

To access the free digital files offered on our website, you will need to visit our password-protected Freebie Library. To get the password, sign for the Happiness is Homemade Email Club via the forms found within the blog post. The form will look similar to the one shown below:

These forms can generally be found towards the bottom of the blog post.

Occasionally, when a post is receiving high amounts of traffic, it may take an extra moment for the download form to load. If you don’t see the form, allow up to two minutes for the webpage to fully load. If it still doesn’t appear, try a different browser. Still not working? Try a different device.

I Didn’t Receive the Email with the Freebie Library Password. What Now?

First, be sure to check your spam folder to ensure it isn’t in there. If you’re using Gmail, also check the “Promotions” tab in your inbox.

If you still don’t see the email, there’s a chance that something may have been mistyped when entering the information (it happens quite often!). Go back to the form and enter your information one more time. If you still don’t receive an email, please message us via the contact page.

I Clicked the Download Button, but Nothing Happened!

Clicking on the “Download Now” button will download the ZIP file to your computer or device. Though it may appear that nothing happens when you click the button, or it may open up a blank tab on your internet browser, the file should automatically download to your computer.

Phones, tablets, and other mobile devices can occasionally run into issues downloading large files. For this reason, we always recommend downloading our files on a desktop or laptop computer whenever possible.

To locate the downloaded file on your computer, check your Downloads folder, Documents folder, or in the folder/location that you have designated your downloads to be saved to. If you still don’t see the file, do a search on your computer for a ZIP file that begins with “HIH” in the name.

If you are on a mobile device, check the Files and Downloads folders for your ZIP file.

Help! There’s No SVG File in the ZIP Folder!

When you download a ZIP file to your computer or device, SVG files frequently appear in the ZIP folder with an icon for the default internet browser on your device.

For example, in my folder above, the file appears as a Microsoft Edge file. Double clicking on this file may also cause the image to open in an internet browser window.

However, if you navigate to the View tab and make sure that “File Name Extensions” is checked (see image above ), you will see that the file is indeed an SVG file that can be uploaded to any design software that uses SVG files. 

If you would like to learn how to set up your computer so that it displays an image preview of the SVG in the folder instead of an internet browser icon, follow these instructions: How to View SVG Files on a PC
