Tired of downloading your WordPress media files one by one?

Media Bulk Download lets you select any number of files in your Media Library and download them as a single ZIP file — instantly, directly in your browser. No FTP, no hosting panel, no extra tools.

What it does

Works in both Grid view and List view of the Media Library
Adds a “Download as ZIP” bulk action to the List view
Adds a “Download as ZIP” toolbar button to the Grid view
Handles images, PDFs, videos, audio, documents — any file in your library
Secure: every request uses nonce verification and capability checks
Lightweight: assets load only on the Media Library screen, nowhere else

Perfect for

Sending a client their project photos in one go
Archiving old uploads before a site migration
Backing up a folder of product images
Moving media from one site to another
