  Hey there!

  Can you please confirm if this is related to http://zk43.wordpress.com/ or a different URL?

  If this is related to the site above, you can export the media library by navigating to:
  Tools → Export and then selecting “Download” in the “Export Media Library” section.

  This would allow you to download all media in a zip file, where you can later unzip and transfer them into a flash drive.

  All the steps on this can be also found here: https://wordpress.com/support/export/

  Hope this helps!

  @emilijamu,

  Just a small clarification – media files aren’t downloaded as a .zip folder, but as a .tar archive. On MacOS you can just double-click that archive to unpack it, but on Windows you need to install special software to do that (which isn’t the case with .zip folders):

  Thank you for the feedback @kokkieh – I’ll definitely remember to specify this in future replies :)
