We have the mindset and I am so grateful for you sharing the skills. Thank you for a great blog. I am looking forward to starting a business on Etsy selling my artwork via digital downloads. I appreciate all the great advice and look forward to reading more. I am glad that you enjoyed the post and find it useful. Thank you so much for the comment and good luck. I am about to publish my listings of printable art on Etsy.
I have tried Keka and some archive app from app store on; none of them was able to reduce the file size significantly. Great question! Unfortunately, their is no way to add a file on Etsy that is over 20MB. What I do is sign up for Google Dropbox, upload the file their, and create a downloadable link.
I then upload a message on Etsy download section, saying use this link to download your purchase. It takes them to Google Dropbox where they can automatically download the file. This has been the alternative way to get the customer the file.
Nancy, thank you for your guidance,. Or do I have to go back in once the payment is confirmed and add the link? So the customer first would need to pay for your product. Then you would insert the link into a PDF Format where they can copy the dropbox url and paste on their web browser to have access to the download.
Brilliant article Nancy! Hey Nancy. I am totally new to Etsy and digital downloads, not too good on computers either but i am interested in selling my art but have no clue how to put my name across the front of the image to stop theft and for it not to appear on the downloaded image if it sells.

Its so much easier for Etsy sellers to do it this way and saves time. Thank you for this article! It is very helpful. I am wondering if I am supposed to be collecting sales tax on them?

If I am creating a graphic design in Photoshop and wanting to offer it as a downloadable print what size would you recommend I create the file in?
Should I offer several sizes or one large high res file so the customer can print at the size they require. Any advice would be appreciated. Yes, I would offer several sizes due to the fact a lot of customers want to have the option to select the size they want. Should I copywrite the images before selling? Look at other digital products for inspiration, but not to copy.
You're looking for the gap in the market. With thousands of sellers on Etsy, you need to stand out. For instance, if everything is watercolor florals, go with boldly colored geometric designs.
