How to Export Shopify Product Images: Getting Started

Install Export Product Images, run your first export of Shopify product images and download the ZIP file in about five minutes, with every screen explained.

Export Product Images downloads your Shopify product images, videos and 3D models, or your Content > Files library, as one ZIP file. This guide takes you from install to your first download.

What do I need before I start?

Only the app. It reads your store, so you do not connect any other service. The free plan covers 100 exported files per month, which is enough for a test run on your real catalog.

How do I run my first export?

  1. Install the app from the Shopify App Store and open it from your Shopify admin.
  2. Open Export product files. Under File types, Include images is ticked by default. Tick Include videos or Include 3D models if you want them.
  3. Optional: narrow down the products with the filters (status, vendor, collection, creation date). Each filter you add narrows the result further. See exporting product media.
  4. Press Preview files. Nothing is exported yet.
  5. On the preview page, check the list of files. Choose a File name format and a Folder name format (see file names and folders). Remove any file you do not want with the X next to it.
  6. Press Export files. The export runs in the background, so you can close the app.
  7. When the job finishes, open the job page and press Download, or use the link in the email you receive. The link works for 7 days.

What does the ZIP file look like?

With the SKU_position file name format and the SKU folder name format, a product with SKU TSHIRT-BLK-M and two images downloads like this:

your-store_2026-10-07-09-30_ab12.zip
└── TSHIRT-BLK-M/
    ├── TSHIRT-BLK-M_1.jpg
    └── TSHIRT-BLK-M_2.jpg

The file inside the ZIP keeps the original quality that Shopify holds.

Is the free plan enough for a test?

Yes. Previews are free and unlimited, and only files that end up in a ZIP count toward your monthly limit. The free plan exports 100 files per month. See plan limits and downloads for what counts as a file.
