If you need to save visuals from your Wix website — whether for backup, edits, or transferring to another platform — there are several ways to download your media. This guide covers methods to extract single images, bulk media, and even entire gallery files using Wix's tools and smart workarounds.
Using Wix Media Manager to Access Image Files
The Wix Media Manager is your first stop for downloading images you've uploaded or used on your website. It allows limited exporting, but it’s great for recovering individual files.
- Open your Wix Editor.
- Click Media on the left sidebar.
- Choose My Uploads or navigate to the relevant folder.
- Click on an image to open the preview.
- Right-click the image and choose Save image as…
Download Wix Gallery Photos
If you have set up image galleries on your website, those images can also be saved. However, Wix does not offer a direct “download all” feature for gallery content.
Manually saving images from gallery pages
- Go to your published Wix website.
- Navigate to the gallery page.
- Right-click on each image and save it locally.
How Do I Download All Media from Wix
Wix does not currently allow exporting all media files at once. However, there are workarounds for downloading multiple files efficiently.
Use browser tools or extensions
- Open your live Wix page in Chrome or Firefox.
- Use the developer console (right-click > Inspect).
- Go to the Network tab and filter by "img" to view all image requests.
- Right-click the URLs and open images in new tabs to save them.
Downloading Photos from Wix Blog
To download assets from your Wix blog posts:
- Open your live blog post.
- Right-click on any image.
- Select Save image as...
If you’re using cover images or thumbnails, repeat this process for each one individually.
Recover and Backup Wix Website Images
Regular backups of your media are essential if you plan to redesign or move to another platform.
- Use the Wix Editor to manually download essential media weekly.
- Store them in organized folders locally or on cloud storage.
- Use a screen capture tool as a last resort for un-downloadable content.
Wix Media Manager Export Options (Limitations)
Wix currently does not support a full “export all media” button. You can only download images one at a time. Other content like videos and audio follow the same restriction. If you're migrating, keep this in mind.
| Media Type | Can Download? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Uploaded images | ✔️ | Via Media Manager or Editor |
| Gallery images | ✔️ | Only manually, one by one |
| Videos | ⚠️ | Only if self-hosted, not embedded |
| Blog images | ✔️ | Use live blog post pages |
Using Third-Party Tools to Download Wix Content
There are third-party tools that let you download all visible media from a URL. Be cautious using these and always comply with copyright laws.
- HTTrack: Clones an entire website locally, including images.
- Imageye (Chrome extension): Detects and downloads images from the current page.
- DownThemAll (Firefox extension): Useful for batch image download.

Conclusion
While Wix doesn’t provide bulk export features for media, you can still backup Wix website images and download assets from live pages or within the Media Manager. Use manual steps, browser tools, or third-party extensions to gather visuals for reuse or safekeeping. Always double-check image rights before reusing exported content, especially if it wasn’t originally yours.
