How to download all your Wix product images

Wix has no button that downloads your product photos. Its product export lists every photo, but as a Wix media ID rather than a link. Here is how to turn those IDs into downloads for free, and a faster way.

Before you start

  1. Wix dashboardStore Products → More Actions → Export → All
  2. catalog_products.csvOne MEDIA row per photo, with a media ID
  3. ParcelTurns each ID into a link and downloads the original
  4. One ZIPA folder per product and a spreadsheet of every image
From your Wix dashboard to an organized folder of photos.

Where the photos are in the export

Product_8c1e…MEDIA41f28c_9b07c1…~mv2.jpg

Columns without a note are left out here; your file has them too.

  1. handle is a code Wix makes for each product. It ties the product’s rows together; it isn’t a readable name.
  2. fieldType says what a row is. Every MEDIA row is one photo (or a video).
  3. media holds the photo’s ID, not a link. The original file is at https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ plus the ID, including the ~mv2 part.

The free manual method

  1. Export your products as above and open the CSV in a spreadsheet.
  2. Filter the fieldType column to MEDIA and copy the media column.
  3. Put https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ in front of each ID, keeping the ~mv2 part, then paste the links into a bulk-download browser extension or a download script.
  4. Sort the files into a folder per product and rename them. The files are named after the IDs, so look up each one’s handle and the product name on its PRODUCT row.

This is fine for a few products. For a large catalog the matching and renaming take a long time, and a failed download is easy to miss.

A folder per product named after the product, files named by SKU (or product name) in Wix’s order, and a spreadsheet of every photo.

The faster way: Parcel

Upload the same Wix CSV to Parcel and get one ZIP file:

Parcel never asks for your Wix login and nothing is installed on your site.

What it costs

Up to 25 products is free; larger catalogs are a one-time $9, $19, or $39 depending on size. No subscription.

One payment per export, no subscription. A free export can carry up to 300 MB of images; a paid one up to 1 GB.
What fits in one Parcel export

Files stay available for 24 hours after the export is ready.

If something goes wrong

Parcel says “Choose a .csv file exported from Wix Store Products”
The file isn’t Wix’s product export. Export again from Catalog → Store Products → Products → More Actions → Export and upload catalog_products.csv without editing it.
Some products are missing from the export
Wix exports up to 5,000 rows per CSV file, and each product, variant and photo is a row. Export one category, or selected products, at a time and upload each file to Parcel as its own export.
Parcel says some images were skipped
Parcel downloads Wix product photos from static.wixstatic.com. A media value that isn’t a Wix media ID or link is counted as skipped on screen rather than guessed at; save those photos by hand.
A product has no folder
First look in failed-downloads.csv: if every download for it failed, the report gives the reason. Otherwise it has no MEDIA rows in the file, only a video, or only photos Parcel skipped as unsupported (those are counted on screen before you export). Digital products aren’t in Wix’s export at all.
Files are named by product name instead of SKU
Parcel uses the product’s SKU, or its first variant’s. When neither has one, it uses the product name. Add SKUs in Wix and export again if you need SKU names.
An image is listed in failed-downloads.csv
Its link didn’t return an image, for example because the photo was removed from the site after the export. Open the original_url from the report in a browser to check, and export a fresh CSV if needed.

Questions

Can I download all my Wix product images at once?

Not from the Wix dashboard. The product export lists every photo as a Wix media ID, and each ID can be downloaded from static.wixstatic.com/media/ followed by the ID. Parcel downloads them all and sorts them for you.

Do I get the full-size photos?

Yes. A media ID link serves the original file that was uploaded, and Parcel saves it as it is, without resizing or compressing it.

Are product videos included?

No. Videos also appear as MEDIA rows in the export, but Parcel leaves them out because they aren’t photos.

How are the folders named?

After the product name, made safe for file names: “Café Ceramic Bowl” becomes cafe-ceramic-bowl. Two products with the same name get -2, -3 and so on.

Does Parcel need my Wix login?

No. You export the CSV from your dashboard and upload it. Nothing is installed on your site.
