Auto download and history

What you need

• A Pro or Agency plan, signed in. On Free, the Auto download switch is locked and shows a crown; you can still download by hand on the Google Flow page.
• The one-time Chrome setting in the next section.
• To remove logos as files download: Mark Bridge installed as well.

One-time Chrome setting

Chrome has an option to ask where to save every file. When it is on, each file Mark Flow downloads opens a save dialog: a 20-prompt run means dozens of clicks, and the folder and file name Mark Flow chose may be replaced. Turn it off.

1. In the side panel, click the gear icon at the top right and choose Settings. The Settings window opens separately.

2. In the left menu, choose Downloads & logo removal.

3. In the One-time setup box, click Open Chrome download settings. The chrome://settings/downloads page opens.

4. Turn off Ask where to save each file before downloading.

   

5. Back in the Settings window, click Open extensions list and turn off any other extension that downloads or renames files automatically, so they do not fight with Mark Flow.

Turn on auto download in the Gen tab

1. Open the Gen tab, scroll below Reference Images and turn on Auto download.

   

2. The box next to it is the sub-folder for these runs, markflow-01 by default. Change it to something memorable, such as october-ads. Leave it empty to save straight into the main folder.

3. Choose the download quality: images 1K, 2K or 4K; videos 720p, 1080p or 4K. Higher quality means bigger files and slower downloads.

4. Click Generate as usual. In Confirm Run, the Download box shows the quality you chose. Pick No if you do not want this run downloaded.

Set the folder and file names

The main folder and the file name template live in Settings › Downloads & logo removal, in the Auto download card:

• Folder: the main folder inside Downloads, markflow_output by default.
• Project name: the text that fills the [Project] variable, for example CuteCats. Leave it empty to drop that part.
• File name template: [Date]_[Project]_[Prompt]_[Index] by default.
• Image quality, Video quality: the preset for the quality box in the Gen tab.

When you are done, click Save changes at the top right of the window. Variables you can use in the template:

A full example: Folder is markflow_output, the Gen tab sub-folder is markflow-01, Project name is CuteCats, the default template, and the prompt “A kitten sitting on a sofa”. The first result is saved as:

Downloads/markflow_output/markflow-01/2026-10-07_CuteCats_A_kitten_sitting_on_a_sofa_001, plus the image or video file extension (for example .mp4 for a video).

Look things up in the History tab

Every run is recorded in the History tab (the clock icon in the tab row). When you are signed in, history is stored with your account; when you are not, only the latest 200 records are kept on this computer.

1. Click the History icon. Each row shows a thumbnail, the start of the prompt, the type (image or video), the provider, the time and the project name.

   

2. Type a few words of a prompt in Search history... to filter. It filters the records currently shown; click Load more at the bottom of the list to bring in older ones.

3. Click the star to mark a record as a favorite. Use the Favorites filter at the top to see only starred records, All to see everything again.

4. Click Re-run (the circular arrow) to put the record's prompt, type, model, ratio and count back into the Gen tab. Check them, then click Generate.

5. Click the bin (Delete) and confirm to remove a record.

Remove the logo while downloading

The Pro plan can remove the Flow logo as files download. The removal runs on your computer through the Mark Bridge extension, so install Mark Bridge first. There are three places to switch it on:

• Settings › Downloads & logo removal › Logo removal card: Images: remove the Flow logo on download, Videos: remove the logo (adds 5–20 s per video) and Also remove the logo from input images before sending. This is the global setting.
• The side panel footer: the No Image Watermark and Video switches, a shortcut to that same global setting.
• The Gen tab: the No watermark switch in the Auto download row, which only changes runs from the Gen tab.

Common problems

• Chrome still asks where to save each file: the option in One-time Chrome setting is still on.
• Nothing is downloaded: check that Auto download is on, that Download in Confirm Run is not No, and that your account is on Pro.
• Files land in the wrong place: check Chrome's download folder, the Folder field in Settings and the sub-folder in the Gen tab, then turn off other download extensions.
• A greyed-out switch with a crown: the feature needs Pro. See Plans and billing.
• Anything else: see Troubleshooting.
