  Hi Kate,

  I’m so sorry to hear about your computer! Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to bulk download images.

  If you are looking for a backup of your site/media, you can run an Export of your site.

  Your media files will exist as attachment links that can be uploaded to another site. However, they won’t be downloaded as individual image/sound/video files.

  One way to get around this is to create a WordPress.org site on your computer or outside server. Then, you can import the WordPress.com XML file. This will pull the media attachments from your WordPress.com site into your WordPress.org site. Since you will have access to the backend of your WordPress.org site, you will have immediate access to all your individual media files.

  Import a Website

  If you’d like to research WordPress.org sites, and check out if this option is viable for you, you can look at the support page here:

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
