Shopify merchants cannot natively export images from Settings > Files Library when migrating stores or creating backups. This creates significant friction for store owners moving between development, staging, and production environments.
Current Status:
Available Workarounds:
Community Sentiment:
Multiple users express frustration that this “basic functionality” is missing, particularly for businesses running proper DEV > UAT > LIVE deployment workflows. The lack of a simple download button forces merchants to spend hours finding workarounds buried in forums.
Hi all,
As everybody here I had the same issue. I ve found an APPLI called “Hextom: Bulk Product Edit” which do the job. It has a lot of other functions like change inbatch mode pricec, tag, title and a lot more. The price is ridiculous 9$ monthly. Using it with satisfaction since momre than 2 years. Help yourself. I have also seen an appli giving access to the datamodel (never tried/tested). Cheers. B rgds . Thierry Cricketco.be
Hello @Enderon
Thank you for pointing this out. We were updating Filey at a moment, and it works like a charm now!
Thanks for the pathetic attempt at pretending to care about implementing something that is 60000% obvious, and then failing to do it for 300 years. Shopify is awful.
Thank you so much for helping exactly 0%, Elle!
Hi Elle,
What’s the update on this, 4 years later? I contacted support the other day to ask about this and still no solution. Very sad.
that’s terrible because it’s been 5 years and there is still no solution for this besides all these extra run arounds people had to create 
You can use this app called Image Flow , it allows you to bulk export and even upload images. You can export multiple products or collections and select the output format as well
