Ig this function is already built it with most browsers when u right click u see the option to save image, or on the mobile long click and download image. Although if you need to do it inglide u can create a button and make the action to open link and set the link of the image.

Many thanks. I had tried that. It still requires one to long press or right click, save as after opening the image. Is there any option where it can directly go in download ?

Create a template column and make it your URL and add:  
?download=1 after it it should be like this [example.com/images/cat.png?download=1](http://example.com/images/cat.png?download=1)

I tried with the AI component in the past, but the navigator.share API is blocked by Iframe policy in Glide.

If this is important to you, then the workaround is to do a bit of coding in JavaScript and create a button that you display through a webview component. The webview should not be blocked for sharing, printing, or downloading.
