Fixora Media Archive Export

Fixora Media Archive Export lets you export your WordPress media library (or a filtered subset) to a downloadable ZIP archive from the admin.

Perfect for:

• Migrating sites – Download your media before moving to a new host
• Backups – Create a quick archive of your uploads folder
• Client deliverables – Export media for clients without FTP access
• Archive management – Download older media for offline storage

Key Features

• Smart thumbnail exclusion – Optionally excludes WordPress-generated thumbnails (e.g., image-150×150.jpg)
• Date filtering – Export only media from specific year/month folders
• Progress feedback – Status updates while scanning and building the ZIP
• Original folder structure – Keeps year/month paths inside the archive
• Temporary files – ZIP stored under uploads and removed after download or after one hour
• Simple admin UI – Media → Fixora Media Archive Export

How It Works

1. 01Go to Media → Fixora Media Archive Export in your WordPress admin
2. 02Choose export options (exclude thumbnails, filter by date)
3. 03Click Export to ZIP
4. 04Wait while the plugin scans uploads and builds the archive
5. 05Download the ZIP when it is ready

The plugin exports files from wp-content/uploads . Scan and ZIP creation each run in a single AJAX request; very large libraries may be limited by your host’s PHP memory and max execution time. Prefer date filters for bigger libraries.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.4 or higher
• PHP 7.4 or higher
