Downloading documents
You can download any document embedded in a Katalyz room — PDFs, decks, spreadsheets, anything the sender has shared.
How to download
From a document widget
Most documents are shown in a preview (you can read them inline without downloading). To save a local copy, use the Download button on the preview.
Click it, and the file downloads to your computer.
From an embedded link
Some documents are linked rather than embedded. Click the link; depending on the file type and your browser, it'll either download or open in a new tab.
From a signed envelope
After signing a document, you're emailed a copy of the sealed PDF. Open the email and save the attachment.
You can also re-download anytime from the signature widget in the room — once the envelope reaches Signed, it shows a Download signed copy button.
What you can download
- PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX — standard office documents
- Images — PNG, JPG, SVG
- Videos — where the sender has enabled download (often preview-only)
- ZIP archives — if the sender shared one
- CSVs — data files
Some content is view-only by design (proprietary info, pricing tables rendered inline, etc.). In those cases, there's no download option — let the sender know if you need it downloadable.
Signed documents and legal records
For anything you signed, always download a local copy once the envelope is Signed. The sealed PDF is your proof of execution, and storing it locally means you don't depend on continued Katalyz access to access it.
