Download items from the web using Safari on Mac

Download music, PDFs , software, and other items by clicking links on webpages.

Important: If a download contains software, an alert appears when you open the item. To be safe, don’t open it if you weren’t expecting a software program or if it’s not from a trusted source.

Open Safari for me

Download an item

Choose Download Linked File. (Some webpage items can’t be downloaded.)

Safari decompresses files such as .zip files after it downloads them.

Note: If you download an item that you previously downloaded, Safari removes the older duplicate so it doesn’t take up space on your Mac. See Optimize storage space .

If you have trouble downloading, try any of the following:

If Safari is still downloading the item, wait for it to finish. You can’t open an item while it’s being downloaded.

Sometimes a download is incomplete because the file was damaged. Try downloading it again.

Make sure you have the app needed to open the file. If you do, the file may have been corrupted during the download. Delete it, then try downloading it again.

See items you downloaded

The button isn’t shown if the downloads list is empty.

Do any of the following:

Tip: To change where downloaded items are saved on your Mac, choose Safari > Settings, click General, then click the “File download location” pop-up menu and choose a location.

Clear the downloads list: In the downloads list, click Clear. To remove one item, Control-click it, then choose Remove From List.

By default, Safari automatically removes an item after one day. To change when items are automatically removed, choose Safari > Settings, click General, then click the “Remove download list items” pop-up menu and choose an option.

The downloaded file may be a compressed archive or disk image that contains the file you want. If the file is from a trusted site, double-click it to decompress it.

If you downloaded an app and you see a message that the app can’t be opened because it’s from an unidentified developer or wasn’t downloaded from the Mac App Store, you can open the app by overriding security settings .

Download Icon Missing from Menu

Running macOS 12.3.1 Monterey, Safari 15.4 MacBook Pro I've tried all of the logical ways of adding the download icon back into the menu bar, no go. It doesn't even appear in the icon options to customize the toolbar. Help...anybody know how to get that icon back? Every time I attempt to download, it goes to the printer icon. Thanks.  

Well-known member

There is no option for Downloads to be dragged to the Toolbar. You can view your downloads by clicking on OPTION+CMD+l or View->Show Downloads. Go to Preferences and General and set the folder where the files should be downloaded. With that in place, all downloads will automatically go to that folder. What are you trying to achieve anyway?

....or is the OP referring to the Downloads icon in the menu bar of Safari? If so click on the menu bar of Safari and drag the Downloads icon from the drop down selection to the Menu bar.  

Until the OP comes back, we have no clue. So let's just wait..  

I'm using a new M1 iMac using Monterey 12.3.1 and Safari has the Download icon.  

This is very interesting, I'm on 12.3.1 as well. I also don't have the "Open app launcher" in my list. I had to enable the Develop menu option to get the "Web Inspector" to show up.  

I'm on the Ashwin team. No download icon.  

IWT said: I wonder if you are confusing the Top Menu Bar with the Dock? I mean no offence. As far as I know the Downloads icon has never been in the top menu bar.....BUT..... Click to expand...

I'm Done With Streaming Platforms: Here's Why I'm Heading Back to Cable

This app lets me easily use my mac without a mouse, if you're still using this insecure password method, it's time to stop.

While browsing the web in Safari, it’s common to need to download files from different websites. But sometimes it can be a challenge to find where these Safari downloads are saved.

Below are several ways to find and manage Safari downloads on your Mac.

How to Download Files Using Safari

There are different ways to save items from Safari to your Mac , depending on the type of item you want to save. While some items in webpages can’t be downloaded, files, images, software, and apps often come with a dedicated download button. Otherwise, Control-click or two-finger tap an item to save or download it.

It’s best not to download software or apps if they aren’t from a trusted source.

Where to Find Safari Downloads on a Mac

Unless you’ve chosen otherwise, items that you’ve downloaded from Safari automatically go to your Downloads folder. To find this, open Finder and click Downloads from the sidebar or press Cmd + Option + L .

You can change where your downloaded files save, if you want:

• Head to Safari > Preferences .
• Click the General tab. Go to File download location , then choose from the popup. Select Ask for each download if you want to be in more control of each download.
• If you want to select a specific destination, click Other and select your desired folder.

Use the Downloads Button in Safari

Quickly access your downloads in Safari by clicking the Downloads button, a downward arrow enclosed in a circle icon on the top-right of the Safari window. Note that this won’t appear unless you’ve recently downloaded an item.

Open the Downloads Stack in the Dock

Another way to immediately access your downloaded files is through the Dock. Your recent downloads are often found on the right side of the Dock in a stack. Hover over it to preview the contents or click to expand it.

Open the Downloads Folder in Finder

As we already mentioned, you can also find your Safari downloads using Finder. This is a valuable utility to locate items on our Mac. Simply click the magnifying button on your menu bar and type "downloads," or go to your Dock and click Finder to open the Finder window.

You can usually find the Downloads folder in the sidebar, under Favorites.

How to Manage Your Safari Downloads

There are several ways to manage your in-progress or completed downloads in Safari. To perform these actions, open the Downloads menu in Safari itself. Here’s what you can do:

• Pause Downloads: If you’re currently downloading, click the stop button beside the file name to pause the download, then click the resume button to resume it again.
• Remove a downloaded item: If you want to remove a single item from the list, Control-click the item and select Remove from List . You can also remove all your recently downloaded items by clicking Clear in the top right of the popup.

By default, Safari automatically deletes downloaded items after a day. If you want to change this:

• Go to Safari > Preferences .
• Click General , then go to Remove download list items . Choose from After one day , When Safari quits , Upon successful download , or Manually .

Manage Your Safari Downloads

There is a lot of content you can download on the web, and simply knowing how to download it is usually half the battle. But once you’ve done that, you can use the tips in this guide to find and manage your Safari downloads with ease, even customizing your download preferences to get fuller control over where your files save and when they get deleted.

How to Access the Download Manager in Safari for iOS

With iOS 13, Apple has brought a similar feature to the mobile version of its Safari browser in the form of the Download Manager. Now, when you choose to download a file, such as an image or document, a little download icon is displayed in the top right corner of the screen.

You can tap the icon to check the status of your downloads, and tapping the magnifying glass next to a file will open its folder location, whether that's on your device or in the cloud.

Missing Safari Download Icon

What icon are you referring to? Last time I checked, there is no Safari download icon. You've got to be a lot more specific that this if you want good help.

Aha! I found the icon you're referring to; it was hiding, and since I don't use it, I never knew it was there before.

If you want to get that icon back onto the Toolbar of Safari, you need to go to the View > Customize Toolbar… menu, which will show you all the icons you can select from. Find the Download icon and drag it to the position you want on Safari, then click Done and you've got it.

For some weird reason, Apple seems to make it hard to download safari (using Chrome on Windows OS currently). There's no real logical path you can use to download Safari right now:

• Support, Other Products? Software? NOT
• Support, Other Products? Support Resources? Downloads & Updates? Internet: YES, but 5 clicks after the homescreen for a major Apple product? Really??

Wouldn't make it sense to have a Downloads button on the home screen (is software not as much, or even more a product than hardware?) or at least a button/choice option under Support?
