  Hi,

  You can only manually save your whole library by saving each of your images/media separately. If you want to export your media and content and later upload it to another WordPress.com or WordPress.org site then you have to create a XML file through your Settings page. You can navigate to the settings from your admin page and scroll down to Site Tools and choose Export which will open a new page. Next, click on Export All button you will see a pop-up info about export being finished and you can download it directly from the site or from your email where the link has been also sent.

  Export Your Website’s Content

  Hi there,

  Please note that exporting your site content as indicated above does NOT export your media library. The export file only contains links to the file locations in the media library, not the media files themselves.

  There is no way to bulk-download files from the media library on a WordPress.com site. On a self-hosted WordPress site this can only be done with the help of a plugin.
