  • Click Export to download a CSV file of your CMS content.

2. Identify Image URLs in CSV

3. Download Images

  • Copy and paste the Image URLs into a browser to view each image.
  • Right-click on the image and select Save As to download each one manually.
  • For bulk downloading, consider using browser extensions or scripts that can download multiple files using URLs.
