How to Download a Single Image from WordPress Media Library

If you're running a WordPress website, you're probably using the media library to store images. Whether you want to download an image to use in another project or simply want to save a copy of an image for your own records, downloading a single image from the media library is a quick and simple process.

Here's how to do it:

1. Log in to your WordPress site and go to the media library. You can do this by clicking on "Media" in the left-hand menu of your WordPress dashboard.

2. Select the image you want to download by clicking on it once.

3. Once you've clicked on the image, you'll see a screen that displays the details of the image, including the file name, dimensions, and size. To download the image, click on the "Download" button located on the right-hand side of the screen.

4. The image will now begin downloading to your computer. Depending on your browser settings, you may be prompted to choose a location to save the image or it may automatically download to your default downloads folder.

That's it! You've successfully downloaded a single image from your WordPress media library.

It's important to note that while downloading a single image from the media library is simple, you should always make sure you have the necessary permissions to use the image before doing so. If the image is copyrighted or owned by someone else, downloading it without permission could result in legal trouble. Always err on the side of caution and check your image's copyright status before downloading it from your media library.
