Export Media URLs

The fastest way to pull a complete inventory of your WordPress Media Library. Export every attachment’s details — pick exactly the columns you want from grouped, collapsible field sections with quick-select presets — then download a CSV or JSON file, or display the results in a paginated table right inside the dashboard. A separate Media Tools tab helps you audit and clean up the library. Invaluable for migrations, SEO and accessibility audits, and library cleanup.

The export is built to survive real-world content: every record stays on a single CSV line even when your captions contain line breaks, commas and quotes are escaped to the CSV standard, the delimiter is switchable for Excel in European locales, and text that was mangled by an old character set (“’” instead of “’”) can be repaired on the way out.

Media Tools

Each tool lives on its own sub-tab and processes the library in pages (100, 250, 500, 1000 or All per page), so the scans stay fast and light even on libraries with thousands of items.

• Storage summary — attachment counts per media type, read straight from the database (instant)
• Missing file detector — find attachments whose file is gone from disk (e.g. after a bad migration)
• Duplicate detection — find files that are byte-for-byte identical (matched by size and content hash; choose “All” for a complete cross-library scan)
• Heavy image flags — spot oversized images (large file size or pixel dimensions) that slow your pages
• Bulk alt-text editing — review and update alt text image by image, page by page, with missing alt text highlighted

You can export each media item’s:

• ID
• Title
• File Name
• URL
• File Size
• MIME Type
• Dimensions (width x height)
• Thumbnail / Medium / Large image URLs
• Caption
• Alt Text
• Alt Missing (flag — quickly find images with no alt text)
• Description
• Uploaded To (Parent) and Uploaded To URL — where the file was first uploaded
• Used In (count), Used In (posts), Used In (URLs), Used In (post ID) and Used In (post type) — every post that actually references the item
• Unused (flag — items not found in any post’s content)
• Date Uploaded

The data can be filtered by media type (images, video, audio, documents, archives), by attachment status (attached vs. unattached/orphaned), by author, and between a date range before extraction. You can also export a specific item range to keep each request small on very large libraries.
