The problem it solves

Migrating or backing up a WordPress media library usually means downloading files one by one and re-uploading them somewhere safe, which takes forever and risks losing track of files. When you manage more than one site, that manual shuffling multiplies fast.

Who it fits

A web agency, developer, or content manager migrating or backing up media across WordPress sites.

How it works

  1. You upload a WordPress media export file through a simple form
  2. The automation reads the file and finds every media item listed
  3. It downloads each file directly from the original WordPress site
  4. It uploads each file into your Cloudinary library, one by one
What you get

Your whole media library backed up

You upload your WordPress export once, and every image and media file gets copied over and safely stored in Cloudinary.

What you get

A fully populated Cloudinary media library matching your WordPress export.

What you need

A WordPress site with media export access and a Cloudinary account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
