What it does 01
Need all your photos back in full size, for a backup, a new site or your designer? One click makes a single ZIP of every original image in your Media Library, exactly as it was uploaded. Big libraries are handled in small steps, and the finished ZIPs wait for you in a private list until you download or delete them.
- One click: a ZIP of every original image, the full-size files exactly as uploaded, not the smaller copies WordPress makes.
- Folders kept: folders like 2024/05/… are kept, so files with the same name never overwrite each other.
- Big libraries: zipped in small batches with a progress bar, so the page never times out.
- Missing files: missing or unreadable files are skipped and listed, so you know exactly what isn't in the ZIP.
- Private: ZIPs are stored in a private folder with web access blocked, and only admins can download them.
- Your ZIP files: keeps every finished ZIP with its date, number of images and size.
- Manage: download a ZIP again any time, delete one, or delete them all.
- Auto-delete: old ZIPs are deleted after 1, 7 or 30 days (7 by default), or kept until you delete them.
- Overview: shows how many images you have, roughly how big the originals are and when you made your last ZIP.
- No special setup: it doesn't need PHP's ZIP extension.
- Where it lives: one page under Media › Download Originals.

FAQ 03
Can anyone else download my ZIP files?
No. They're stored in a private folder with web access blocked, and the download link only works for logged-in admins.
My library is huge. Will it time out?
No. The ZIP is built in small batches, so it works on big libraries and normal hosting. Only very old 32-bit PHP servers can't make ZIP files over 2 GB.
Do the ZIP files fill up my disk?
Each ZIP is about as big as your originals, so they're deleted automatically after 7 days by default. You can choose 1 or 30 days, or keep them until you delete them yourself.
Is it really free?
Yes. Free forever, no sign-up, no ads, and it doesn't track you.
What happens to my data when I delete the plugin?
Your images are never touched. Stored ZIPs and the settings are kept, because Arock Toolkit and other versions of this plugin share them — delete the ZIPs on the plugin page first if you no longer need them.
