Offload Media – Cloud Storage

Offload Media – Cloud Storage copies the files you upload to the WordPress Media Library to cloud storage and serves them from there. Images, videos, PDFs and other attachments load from your Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Cloudflare R2 or DigitalOcean Spaces bucket, or from a CDN in front of it.

Serving media from the cloud takes load and disk usage off your web server, and a CDN delivers files from locations closer to your visitors, which can help page speed.

Supported cloud storage providers

• Amazon S3 (including buckets with ACLs disabled)

• Google Cloud Storage (including buckets with uniform bucket-level access)

• Cloudflare R2

• DigitalOcean Spaces

Features

• Automatic offloading: new Media Library uploads are copied to your bucket, including every generated image size and the original image.

• URL rewriting: media URLs in posts, pages, image srcsets and the block editor point to the cloud. Post content keeps local URLs in the database, so your content stays intact if you turn the plugin off.

• CDN support: serve files through a custom CDN or endpoint URL, such as Amazon CloudFront or a Cloudflare domain.

• Pre-signed URLs: serve files through expiring, signed URLs with a configurable lifetime.

• Save disk space: optionally remove local copies once files are in the cloud.

• Folder structure: set a base path and keep WordPress year/month folders.

• Object versioning: add a unique prefix to file paths to avoid stale CDN caches (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, DigitalOcean Spaces).

• Stays in sync: edited images and regenerated thumbnails are offloaded again, and deleting media also removes it from your bucket.

• Reliable background uploads: offloading runs in a queue with automatic retries, so busy uploads and temporary provider errors do not leave files behind.

• Guided setup: a configuration wizard verifies your credentials, can create a new bucket, and lets you keep access keys in wp-config.php.

• Offload details: the attachment details screen shows each file’s provider, region and access.

• Works with WooCommerce product images and other themes and plugins that use the standard WordPress media functions.

• Translation-ready.
