Suppose you got some Magento tasks like: – Re/designing a theme – Modifying a category or product page

In this case, Do you download all the media files?

Even if you decided to download all the media files? – Do you have sufficient storage? – Do you have enough patience to wait for the entire download?

Of course, not. That’s why I have created a utility bash script, which helps developer to quickly download the required images for category or product on demand via tool called “Magento 2 Media Downloader”:
