Quick answer

What you need to know

Use the product-specific setup guide included in the ZIP; it shows the correct import method and intended layout for that download.
The widget is normally supplied as a QR code or .widgy file, and its Small, Medium, or Large size is shown in the product demo images.
Widgy is an independent third-party app. Additional active widget slots may require separate access managed by Widgy, especially for layouts that use more than one widget.

What is included with an it8.art widget product

An it8.art widget product normally provides the widget as a QR code or .widgy file and includes a product-specific setup guide inside the downloaded ZIP. The guide explains how to recreate the layout shown in that product’s demo images.

Included wallpaper files, widget count, widget sizes, and any other assets vary by product. Use the individual product page and included setup guide as the authority for the download you purchased.

Before importing the widget

Download and extract the product ZIP on your iPhone.
Open the included widget setup guide before importing any files.
Install or open Widgy from the App Store. Widgy is supplied by its own developer and is not included in the it8.art download.
Check the product demo images and setup guide to identify whether the layout uses a Small, Medium, or Large widget.

How to import the QR code or .widgy file

For a QR code, save or open the supplied QR image as directed by the included setup guide, then use Widgy’s import option to select or scan it.
For a .widgy file, open the supplied file with Widgy using the method shown in the included setup guide.
Confirm that the imported widget appears inside Widgy before continuing.
If Widgy’s current buttons or tab names differ from the screenshots, follow the import and help options shown in the current Widgy app.

How to assign the widget to a Widgy slot

Open the widget-management area in Widgy.
Find the Small, Medium, or Large slots that match the size shown in the product demo and setup guide.
Choose an available matching slot and assign the imported widget to it.
If the layout uses a second active widget, repeat the assignment with the second widget and its matching size.
Use Widgy’s current in-app settings or help when slot availability or assignment controls differ from the included guide.

How to add the assigned Widgy widget to the Home Screen

Touch and hold an empty area of the iPhone Home Screen until the apps begin to jiggle.
Tap Edit, then choose Add Widget.
Find and select Widgy in the widget gallery.
Choose the same widget size that you assigned inside Widgy, then tap Add Widget.
Move the widget into the layout shown in the product demo and tap Done.

Widgy slots, separate access, and app independence

Your it8.art purchase covers the digital design files and the included product-specific setup guide. Widgy is a third-party app developed and managed by its own developer, not by it8.art. it8.art is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Widgy.

Widgy is listed on the App Store as a free app with in-app purchases. A layout that uses more than one active widget may require access to additional Small, Medium, or Large slots inside Widgy. Slot availability, terms, and pricing are controlled by Widgy and can vary by account, region, and app version.

Check the product demo first to see how many widgets the shown layout uses. The included setup guide explains the intended arrangement, while current slot controls and any optional unlock are handled inside Widgy.

Widgy Widget Setup Troubleshooting

Work through the setup in order: import the supplied widget, assign it to the correct slot, then add the matching Widgy size to the iPhone Home Screen.

Common Widgy widget import and installation problems
Problem	Likely cause	What to try
The QR code does not import	The QR image may be unclear, cropped, or opened through the wrong import option.	Use the original QR image from the ZIP and follow the QR steps in the included setup guide.
The .widgy file does not open	The file may still be inside the ZIP or may not have been opened with Widgy.	Extract the ZIP first, then open the original .widgy file using the method in the setup guide.
The widget is imported but not on the Home Screen	Importing and assigning are separate steps.	Assign the imported widget to a matching Widgy slot, then add Widgy from the iPhone widget gallery.
The widget size or layout looks wrong	The selected Home Screen size may not match the product demo.	Check the demo images and setup guide, then use the matching Small, Medium, or Large slot and Home Screen widget size.
A second widget cannot be assigned	The layout may need another active Widgy slot.	Review current slot access inside Widgy. Additional slots, when needed, are managed separately by Widgy.
Widget information is missing or different	The widget may need permissions, data choices, or other configuration in Widgy.	Open the current Widgy app settings and follow the product-specific setup guide for the intended layout.

Widgy can change its interface, slot system, and available settings. The included it8.art setup guide remains the authority for the product-specific design, while Widgy’s current app screens govern importing, slot access, and live widget settings.

Why the included setup guide matters

The setup guide is part of the purchased product, not a generic extra. It connects the supplied widget file to the exact size, wallpaper, and arrangement shown in the product demo, so keep it with the other downloaded files until the setup is complete.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an it8.art widget product include a setup guide?

Yes. The product ZIP includes a setup guide for the widget files and layout supplied with that product. Follow it before relying on a generic Widgy tutorial.

Are the widgets supplied as QR codes or .widgy files?

They are normally supplied as a QR code or .widgy file. Check the product-specific setup guide inside the ZIP for the correct import method.

How do I know whether to use a Small, Medium, or Large widget?

Use the size shown in the product demo images and included setup guide. Widget sizes vary by product and should not be assumed from another pack.

Is Widgy included with an it8.art purchase?

No. Widgy is a third-party app developed and managed by its own developer, not by it8.art. it8.art is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Widgy. Your it8.art purchase includes the listed design files and product-specific setup guide, not the Widgy app or its paid features.

Do I need a Widgy in-app purchase to use the widget?

Widgy is listed as free with in-app purchases. A layout using more than one active widget may require additional Small, Medium, or Large slot access. Widgy controls current availability, terms, and regional pricing; it8.art does not sell or manage those slots.

Why is my imported widget not visible on the Home Screen?

Importing the design does not add it to the Home Screen automatically. Assign it to the matching slot in Widgy, then add the same Widgy size from the iPhone widget gallery.
