  Hi,

  It isn’t possible to download the media library from a WordPress.COM website.

  However, you can export your posts, pages, comments, categories, and tags. You can read more about this here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

  All the best.

  Hi joellegk,

  As @catkiinson mentioned, there isn’t currently a way bulk download images from the Media Library but you could try exporting just media from your WP Admin dashboard. This link will take you through to the right place:

  https://benkbarmitzvah.wordpress.com/wp-admin/export.php

  Selecting “Media” and “Download Export File” will generate an .xml file which can be imported into another site — this won’t download the image files into a folder on your computer.

  I hope this helps.
