Discord media downloader: save a channel's images, videos and files

Short answerDiscordSuite's Media Downloader downloads the attachments from a Discord channel, thread or DM without a chat file, filtered by type, with duplicates skipped, in one ZIP.

What it does

  • Filter by type

    images, videos, audio, other files, or any mix.

  • Filter by extension

    type the endings you want, such as png, jpg, mp4.

  • Skips duplicates

    the same file posted twice is saved once, even when it was uploaded under different names.

  • File list included

    the ZIP has a manifest.csv that lists every file as saved, skipped or failed.

  • Part of a chat or many channels

    set a date range or the first or last N messages, or pick several channels of a server.

Media only can't be combined with Only new messages since last export. When you tick Media only, DiscordSuite switches that option off and greys it out, and does the same for Download attachments. To get recent media, use a date range or Last N. Want the conversation and its files together? Use Download attachments: the chat export and every attachment in one ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download only videos or only PNG files?

Yes. Choose Videos as the media type, or type the extensions you want, such as png or mp4.

Does media-only export skip duplicate files?

Yes. A file posted more than once is saved once, even under different names, and the file list marks the skipped copies.

Can I download only the media posted since my last export?

No. Media only can't be combined with Only new messages since last export, so DiscordSuite turns that option off while Media only is ticked. To get recent media, set a date range or choose the last N messages.

Is media-only export free?

No. Media-only export is part of Media Downloader (or All tools). The free plan includes chat export in every format.
