WP STAGING – Backups & Restore, Migration & Clone Plugin – Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups vs Export Media as ZIP

Export Media as ZIP is a lightweight plugin that lets administrators export images from the WordPress media library as a ZIP file. Choose exactly what to download using the year and image size filters before exporting. Key Features Export JPG, PNG, GIF, JPEG, and WEBP images Filter by year — select one or more upload years to narrow the export Filter by image size — choose from Full Size (original) or any intermediate size registered by WordPress core, your active theme, or plugins (e.g. Thumbnail, Medium, Large, custom sizes) Live export preview shows how many images match the current filters before you start Real-time progress bar during export Auto-expiring ZIP file — cleaned up automatically after 5 minutes Admin-only access No external dependencies Premium Features Document export — include PDF, Word (doc/docx), Excel (xls/xlsx), and PowerPoint (ppt/pptx) files alongside images Background export — large exports run via WP-Cron in chunks instead of a single blocking request, so they don’t time out; you get an email with the download link when the ZIP is ready Scheduled export — configure a recurring (daily, weekly, or monthly) export with your preferred filters; each run emails a fresh download link automatically Support If you have any questions or need help, please open an issue on GitHub or contact me at [email protected].

WordPress Backup, Restore, Staging, Cloning & Migration — All in One WP STAGING is the all-in-one WordPress backup, restore, staging, cloning, and migration plugin, built for professional workflows with 100% unit-tested code, thousands of automated tests, and extensive end-to-end testing across supported PHP versions. Create a full backup or an exact clone or copy of your website in minutes. Use it to duplicate your site, test plugin and theme updates safely, restore your site when needed, move or migrate WordPress to another server, transfer your site to a new host, or build a staging copy before making changes. WP STAGING also works as a WordPress duplicator, so you do not need a separate duplicator plugin to copy your website. WP STAGING reliably backs up, clones, and migrates WooCommerce stores too, including orders, products, and customer data. WP STAGING is developed in Germany and designed for agencies, developers, and businesses that need reliable WordPress backup, recovery, staging, restore, and migration workflows. WP STAGING | PRO also includes advanced workflows such as Remote Sync, which lets you pull a WordPress site securely from one server to another using an API key, and WP STAGING CLI, which can turn a WP STAGING backup into a local Docker-based development site. All data stays on your server unless you choose a transfer or remote storage workflow. WP STAGING is designed for speed, reliability, and low-resource environments, including shared hosting.
