Export Media as ZIP

Export Media as ZIP is a lightweight plugin that lets administrators export images from the WordPress media library as a ZIP file. Choose exactly what to download using the year and image size filters before exporting.

Key Features

• Export JPG, PNG, GIF, JPEG, and WEBP images
• Filter by year — select one or more upload years to narrow the export
• Filter by image size — choose from Full Size (original) or any intermediate size registered by WordPress core, your active theme, or plugins (e.g. Thumbnail, Medium, Large, custom sizes)
• Live export preview shows how many images match the current filters before you start
• Real-time progress bar during export
• Auto-expiring ZIP file — cleaned up automatically after 5 minutes
• Admin-only access
• No external dependencies

Premium Features

• Document export — include PDF, Word (doc/docx), Excel (xls/xlsx), and PowerPoint (ppt/pptx) files alongside images
• Background export — large exports run via WP-Cron in chunks instead of a single blocking request, so they don’t time out; you get an email with the download link when the ZIP is ready
• Scheduled export — configure a recurring (daily, weekly, or monthly) export with your preferred filters; each run emails a fresh download link automatically
