Frequently Asked Questions
How do I export images from Shopify?
To export images from Shopify, you typically have three practical options depending on how many images you need and where they live in your store: for a few images, you can download them individually from the relevant area in your Shopify admin (for example, open a product, click the image, and download it); for files you’ve uploaded to Shopify’s file library, go to Shopify admin > Settings > Files (or Content > Files in some admin layouts), find the image, and download it from there; and for bulk exporting (the most common need), use a reputable third-party image export app from the Shopify App Store—these apps scan your store and compile product images (often across formats like JPG, PNG, WEBP, and JPEG) into a single downloadable set, which is far faster than manual downloading, especially if you have dozens or hundreds of products.
How do I export all images from a website?
To export all images from a website, the approach depends on whether you own/manage the site and how the images are delivered: if you control the site, the cleanest method is to download images directly from the site’s media library, server, or CDN storage (for example, via your hosting file manager, SFTP/FTP, or your CMS media section), which preserves original filenames and folder structure; if you don’t control the site or you’re trying to collect images for legitimate purposes, you can use an image extraction tool that works by entering the page URL, scanning the HTML and linked assets, and then letting you download detected images in bulk—keep in mind these tools may miss images loaded via scripts, lazy-loading, or background CSS, and they can also pull in icons and thumbnails you don’t want, so you may need to filter by file type, size, or resolution; regardless of method, make sure you have permission to download and reuse the images, since copyright and terms of service still apply even if the images are publicly viewable.
Where are images stored on Shopify?
Images on Shopify are stored in a few different places depending on what they’re used for: files you upload for general use (like banners, PDFs, brand assets, and images you might insert into pages) are stored in the Shopify file library, which you can access from your admin under Content > Files (or Settings > Files, depending on your admin navigation); product images are attached to individual products and variants within Products, meaning they’re managed from the product editor even though Shopify hosts them on its CDN; theme assets (like logos, icons, and some design images) live inside your theme files and can be viewed/edited under Online Store > Themes > Edit code in the Assets folder; and blog post/page images may be embedded through the rich text editor and often originate from the Files area or are uploaded during editing—knowing which location you used helps you export the right images without missing anything.
How do I export from Shopify?
Exporting from Shopify usually means exporting store data (not the images themselves) into a CSV file, and the most common export is products: from your Shopify admin, go to Products, click Export, choose whether you want to export the current page, selected products, or all products, then select the CSV format (for example, a Shopify-compatible CSV for re-importing into Shopify, or a plain CSV for spreadsheets), and download the file once it’s generated; similar export options exist in other areas like Customers and Orders (depending on your plan and permissions), and the exported CSV often includes image URLs for product images rather than bundling the image files—so if your goal is to move or back up images, you’ll typically pair the CSV export (to keep product-image mapping) with downloading the actual image files via the Files section, manual downloads, or a dedicated image export app.
What is Shopify image downloader?
A Shopify image downloader is any tool, app, or workflow designed to save image files from a Shopify store—most often product images—in a faster, more organized way than manually downloading them one by one; in practice, this can mean a Shopify App Store app that scans your catalog and collects all product media into a downloadable package, a browser-based downloader that saves images from product pages (usually less reliable for bulk work), or a method that uses exported CSV image URLs to fetch images in batches; the best Shopify-focused image downloader solutions typically let you choose which products/collections to include, export multiple file types, avoid duplicates, and keep images grouped in a way that’s easy to match back to products, which is especially helpful for migrations, backups, redesigns, or preparing assets for marketplaces and ads.
