There are two types of issues that can cause download problems: ones related to your **subscription**, and ones related to **browser/technical** issues. Here's how to identify which applies to you:

# Subscription

## **1. Downloads not included on the Free plan**

Models generated using **Meshy 6** or **Meshy 7** cannot be downloaded on the **Free** plan. If you click **Download** and hit a paywall, you'll need to [upgrade your subscription](https://www.meshy.ai/pricing).

*Note: if you created privately licensed models while on a paid plan, you can still download those models an unlimited number of times — even after downgrading to Free.* More info on the Free plan [here](/en/articles/15696428-what-is-included-on-the-free-plan).

## **2. Exceeding the Starter plan download limit**

The **Starter** plan includes **20 downloads per month**, which reset on your billing cycle date — not the calendar month. For example, if you subscribed to the Starter plan on June 12th, you'll receive 20 downloads for the period from June 12th to July 12th. Once your plan renews on July 12th, you'll receive another 20 downloads for the next cycle.

*Note: models created using advanced features, such as multi-color printing, are not included in this download quota. More info on the Starter plan [here](/en/articles/12927561-what-is-the-starter-plan-available-in-some-developing-countries).*

## **3. Paid but still can't download**

The most likely reason is that you purchased a Meshy **credits package** rather than a **subscription** — credit packages don't include download access on their own.

To check this, look at whether your account still shows as being on the **Free** plan:

- If yes, you'll need to upgrade to a paid subscription to unlock downloads.

- If no (you already have a paid subscription) but downloads still don't work, contact <support@meshy.ai> with the email address used for payment.

# Browser/Technical Issues

## **1. Browser or extension interference**

Some browser extensions (ad blockers, privacy tools, VPNs) can interfere with downloads. Try the following:

- Refresh the page and try again.

- Disable any browser extensions that might block downloads.

- Try a different browser (e.g., Chrome or Edge) to see if the issue persists.

## **2. Server error when downloading**

If you see a server error when clicking **Download**:

- Refresh the page, or try another browser, and try again.

- Wait a few minutes and retry — this is usually a temporary issue.

## **3. Files missing from your download (e.g., PBR textures)**

If your downloaded zip is missing textures or PBR maps:

- Make sure the **PBR toggle** was enabled during the texturing step.

- Re-run texturing with PBR enabled, then download again.

## **4. A specific file format (e.g, STL) won't download**

Try the following:

- Open the page in an incognito/private window and attempt the download again.

- Try downloading a different format instead, such as **.obj**, which tends to be the most stable format.
