Why Media Bulk Download?
The simplest way to get files out of WordPress
Downloading media one file at a time is painful. We fixed that.
Instant ZIP
Select files, click download — get a single ZIP in your browser. No FTP, no hosting panel.
Grid & List View
Works exactly where you already work — in the WordPress Media Library, both views supported.
Folder Structure (Pro)
Pro preserves your year/month upload folders inside the ZIP — perfect for migrations and backups.
Metadata CSV (Pro)
Every Pro ZIP includes a spreadsheet with filename, alt text, caption, title, and URL for each file.
Lightweight
No bloat, no jQuery, no extra dependencies. Assets load only on the Media Library screen.
Secure by Default
Every request is protected by nonce verification and capability checks. Only authorised users can download.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the download button?
Grid view: Select items, then click the Download as ZIP button in the toolbar above the grid.
List view: Check files, open the Bulk Actions dropdown, choose Download as ZIP, click Apply.
What file types are supported?
Any file in your WordPress Media Library — images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG), documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX), videos, audio files, and more. If WordPress stored it, this plugin can ZIP it.
Does the plugin move or delete my media?
No. Files are only read and streamed into a ZIP. Nothing is moved, renamed, or altered in your Media Library.
What does "preserved folder structure" mean?
WordPress stores uploads in year/month subfolders (e.g. 2024/11/photo.jpg). Pro keeps those subfolders intact inside the ZIP. Free puts all files in a single flat folder.
What is the metadata CSV?
Pro ZIPs include a media-metadata.csv file with one row per file — filename, title, alt text, caption, description, and public URL. Ideal for site migrations and SEO audits.
How do I activate a Pro license?
1. Purchase at pluginnests.com (below).
2. You'll receive a license key by email.
3. Go to Settings → Media Bulk Download in your WP admin.
4. Enter your key and click Activate License. No second plugin needed.
Who can trigger downloads?
Only users with the upload_files capability (Editors and Administrators). Contributors and Subscribers cannot access the ZIP feature.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes — 14-day money-back guarantee on all Pro licenses. Email support@pluginnests.com within 14 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
