Export/Import Media – CSV Media Library Import & Export vs WP All Export – Product Export Add-On for WooCommerce

Need to move or rebuild a media library without manually re-uploading every file? Export/Import Media helps you import WordPress media from CSV, export media data to CSV, and keep core attachment metadata organized during the process. The free plugin focuses on the essential CSV workflow: export your current media library, prepare or upload a CSV, validate the file, preview rows before import, and process media in batches from the WordPress admin. Supported CSV columns include the media URL, relative path, title, alt text, caption, and description. During standard free imports, detected duplicates are skipped to help prevent duplicate attachments in the media library. Metadata is preserved for newly imported media rows. Updating existing attachments, controlled matching rules, rollback restore points, saved workflows, background processing, image conversion options, and replace-file workflows are handled by the separate Export/Import Media Pro add-on. Watch the demo: Why use this plugin? * CSV-first workflow: Export, validate, preview, and import media library data using a readable CSV file. * Batch processing: Import media rows in smaller AJAX batches to reduce timeout risk. * Metadata support: Preserve title, alt text, caption, and description for imported attachments. * Duplicate prevention: Skip existing matches in the standard free workflow. * Local file support: Register files that already exist inside your WordPress uploads directory. * Developer friendly: Use hooks and filters to extend CSV columns, validation, admin UI, and import/export behavior. Features CSV export: Export media library data to CSV with filters for date range, media type, and attachment context. CSV validation and preview: Upload a CSV, validate required columns, and preview rows before import. Batch import: Process media rows in batches from the WordPress admin. Metadata support: Import and export title, alt text, caption, and description columns. Duplicate prevention: Detect existing matches and skip duplicate rows in the standard free workflow. Local Import Mode: Import files that already exist in /uploads/ without downloading them again. Honor Relative Path: Reuse or preserve relative upload paths from the CSV when available. Skip Thumbnail Generation: Skip intermediate image sizes during import when speed matters more than thumbnails. Downloadable import log: Download a .txt log after an import finishes. Hooks and filters: Extend CSV columns, validation, admin UI, and import/export behavior.

Need to upload your product data to the Google Merchant Center? No problem.

Select Your WooCommerce Product Export Columns As the video demonstrates, you can use our Drag & Drop tool to quickly select your product export columns. You can rearrange these columns, rename them, and even combine them. If you need an entirely custom product field, you can build it using our embedded PHP functions. In other words, you can build a product export that meets your exact layout requirements, whatever they may be. Create Flexible Product Export Filters Sometimes, you need to export only a subset of your products. For example, you may want to export only active products. You can do this easily with WP All Export. You can build filters using any combination of product fields, including those created by 3rd-party plugins or add-ons. You can build simple filters, combination filters, or nest your filter conditions (equivalent to using parentheses). If filtering against date fields, you can even use relative date filter conditions like “last week” or “last month”. There is no need to compromise here. You can filter your product export in whatever way you want. Export Products to CSV, Excel, and XML By default, our plugin exports products to a CSV file format. But you can just as easily export products to Excel using either the .XLS or .XLSX formats. If you prefer XML, you can build everything from the simplest to the most complex XML feed imaginable. You can also easily export your product data to Google Sheets for collaborative editing and analysis. Export Products to the Google Merchant Center The Google Merchant Center (GMC) is a platform that lets you share your product information across Google, which makes it easier for customers to find your products and your store. That’s the good news. The bad news is that GMC has extensive data requirements that can take many hours to satisfy. To address this, we’ve built a product export template that helps you comply with Google’s requirements. Just choose the Google Merchant Center Product Feed as your export type, fill out the onscreen forms, and you’ll be able to upload your products in a matter of minutes. Even better, if Google modifies its requirements in any way, we immediately update our plugin to match, meaning you can just re-run your product export to fulfill the new requirements. Bulk Edit Your WooCommerce Product Data Bulk editing WooCommerce products is a common task. Sometimes, you need to alter many product prices or modify product descriptions as part of a sales promotion. Whatever your reason, we make bulk editing products painless. Just export your products, edit them in a spreadsheet like Excel or Google Sheets using features like search-and-replace, copy-and-paste, etc., then import everything back into WooCommerce using WP All Import. What makes this so painless is that WP All Import is aware of the export settings, which allows it to automatically configure the import process. No muss, no fuss, just a quick, highly efficient editing process. Migrate Your WooCommerce Products From One Store to Another Need to copy your WooCommerce products from one store to another? No problem. When you export products from the source site, just download our special bundle file. This file contains import instructions in addition to your product export data. Import this bundle file on your destination site, and WP All Import will automatically configure itself. It really couldn’t be any easier. Run Your Product Export on a Schedule A product export can play a vital role in synchronizing data with other stores or marketing platforms. These updates generally occur on a regular basis. To support this, we allow you to schedule your product export. You can do this using cron jobs on your server, or, if you sign up for our automatic scheduling service, you can do it directly through our plugin’s interface. Either way, you can set up your product export just once and then forget about it. Integrate Your Product Export with External Applications Zapier is a leading integration platform. It allows you to connect triggers, such as the completion of a product export, to actions. These actions can include uploading an export file to one of many file host platforms, generating an email with the export file as an attachment, etc. Our plugin is designed to work with Zapier, meaning that you can connect your product export to any of 1000s of external applications.
