Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Export Media as ZIP

Only users with the manage_options capability (administrators) can access the export page.

Only image files — .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, and .webp.

You can export the original uploaded file (Full Size) and any intermediate size WordPress has generated for that image. The available sizes depend on your active theme and plugins. The plugin uses wp_get_registered_image_subsizes() to list all registered sizes automatically.

Yes. The Year filter shows all years that have image uploads, with a count per year. Select one or more years before exporting.

The ZIP is written temporarily to your uploads directory and deleted automatically after 5 minutes via a scheduled WP-Cron event.

Only sizes you check in the Image Size dropdown are included. If an intermediate size was never generated for a particular image, that file is silently skipped.

PDF, Word (.doc/.docx), Excel (.xls/.xlsx), and PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx). Documents are always included at their original file — the Image Size filter only affects images.

Premium users can check "Run in background" before exporting. The export is queued and processed in chunks via WP-Cron so it can complete without keeping the browser tab open or hitting a server timeout. You'll receive an email with the download link (valid for 24 hours) when it's ready.

Premium users can configure a recurring export (daily, weekly, or monthly) using the Year, Image Size, and Document Type filters selected on the page, plus a recipient email. Each run happens automatically in the background and emails a fresh download link.
