Pixloade Image Manager – Bulk Download Media Library Images as ZIP

Pixloade Image Manager is the fastest way to browse, export and tidy up the images in your WordPress Media Library.

Need to download every image from your site? Move a client’s photos to a new host? Grab only the PNG files?

Find the heaviest images that slow your pages down? Fix missing alt text on dozens of images? Pixloade does all of this from one clean screen under Media → Image Manager.

Bulk download Media Library images as ZIP

• Download all images in your Media Library as a single ZIP file with one click.

• Select the images you want with checkboxes (Shift-click selects a range) and download only those.

• The ZIP always follows what you see: the current format tab, search and filters.

• Download only one format: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG or any other image type on your site.

• The ZIP contains your original uploads, not the resized thumbnails or “-scaled” copies WordPress creates.

• Duplicate file names are renamed automatically, so nothing gets overwritten.

Find images that need attention

• Missing alt text filter lists every image without alt text, with a live count and a “No alt text” badge on each card.

• Large files filter shows images of 500 KB or more, the ones that slow your pages down.

• See your library size at a glance, in total and per format (JPEG, PNG, WebP…).

Search, filter and sort images

• Search by title, caption, description or file name.

• Filter by upload month and by format tabs with live counts.

• Sort by name, upload date, or file size (smallest or largest first) to find heavy images quickly.

• Combine everything, for example “PNG + Large files + Missing alt text”.

• Large libraries load in pages with a “Load more” button, so the screen stays fast.

Preview and edit image details

• Click any image to open a detail view with file name, type, size, dimensions, upload date and author.

• Edit the title, caption, alt text and description in place and save without leaving the screen. Great for fixing missing alt text and improving image SEO and accessibility.

• Save & next saves and jumps straight to the next image, so you can fix alt text for a whole list in minutes.

• Move between images with the arrow buttons or the ← → keys.

• Copy the image URL with one click, or download a single image.

• See extra data other plugins store on an image (for example Rank Math, Yoast SEO or Elementor).

Convert new uploads to WebP (optional)

• Turn on Convert new image uploads to WebP under Media → Pixloade Settings and every new JPEG or PNG upload is saved as a WebP file, usually 25–35% smaller.

• Off by default. Choose which formats to convert (JPEG, PNG) and the WebP quality (1–100).

• Works for uploads from the Media Library, the block editor and most plugins that add images to the Media Library.

• Safe: if the WebP file would be larger than the original, the original is kept. Photo orientation, camera details, IPTC title and caption are preserved.

• Optionally keep a backup of the original file; it is deleted together with the image.

• The image details show how much space each conversion saved.

Convert images you already uploaded

• One click: go to Media → Pixloade Settings and click Convert all images to WebP. A progress bar and a Stop button keep you in control.

• Only some: select images in Media → Image Manager and click Convert selected to WebP.

• One by one: open any image and click Convert to WebP in its details.

• All image sizes are regenerated as WebP, and links to the image are updated automatically in posts and pages (block editor and classic), Elementor (image, background, gallery and text widgets, page settings, generated CSS), widgets, theme options and custom fields.

• Elementor’s CSS cache is cleared afterwards so pages show the new images straight away.

• Runs on your own server with GD or Imagick. No external service, no API key, no extra cost.

Safe for teams

• Uses the same permissions as the WordPress Media Library: Authors, Editors and Administrators can browse and download, and people can only edit images they are allowed to edit.

• Lightweight: no extra database tables, no tracking and no external services.
