How can I download my account's assets?

Cloudinary supports several ways to download many or all of your assets from your account. Depending on your requirements, the size of your account, and whether you are using Cloudinary's UI or API, you can choose from the following options:

• You can select the files or folders that you want to download using our Media Library and click Download which will add them to a ZIP file and download it to your computer. A maximum of 1000 files in each ZIP file and each ZIP file must be smaller than 100 MB or the 'raw' file size limit of your account (whichever is larger). See Downloading from the UI for a quick overview of this option. Additional details can be found in Download folders.
• If you're already using our SDK or API or if the account is very large, you can use the Admin API or Search API to list all resources in your account. The list includes the URL for accessing or downloading each original asset, which you can then do in bulk using any HTTP library or downloading tool.
• You can use the Command Line Interface to perform the same operation with the sync command. The sync command can use the search API to list all files, then download them to your computer or server. For more details, refer to the sync command.
• You can use our API to create a ZIP file containing up to 1000 assets, with a maximum size of 100 MB or your account's 'raw' file size limit (whichever is larger). For more information see generate_archive.
• On any paid Cloudinary account, you can choose to store backups of the files in your Cloudinary account in an Amazon S3 bucket or Google Cloud Storage bucket - the naming structure of the backup is different from how you see the files in Media Library, but this is a fast way to get a copy of all files if you can't use one of the above methods. For more details, refer to Using your own backup storage.

Downloading from the UI

The download option is listed in the kebab-style menu:

Once you click Download, you'll see a prompt window to leave the window. This doesn't necessarily navigate away from the current page, but it allows for the browser to proceed into downloading a resource locally.
