Switch from WP Offload Media to WP Media Cloud
WP Offload Media charges you by the number of files you have offloaded, starting at $59 per year and climbing to $1,199 for unlimited items. WP Media Cloud charges a flat annual rate per site with no item limits whatsoever. Your files stay in the same bucket. Migration takes minutes.
WP Offload Media charges more as your library grows. WP Media Cloud does not.
WP Offload Media counts the number of files you have offloaded to cloud storage and charges you based on that number. A modest site fits on the Silver plan at $59 per year for up to 6,000 items. Grow to 20,000 items and it jumps to $149. At 40,000 items, $199. At 100,000 items, $349. To offload without a cap you pay $1,199 per year. Every image, every thumbnail variant, and every document counts against that limit.
WP Media Cloud has no item limit on any plan. Offload 100 files or 100,000 files, the price stays the same. Annual plans start at $49.99 per year. There is also a Lifetime plan at $499.99 for 1,000 sites, a one-time payment that covers every site you will ever run with no renewals and no item counting.
What you pay at different library sizes.
WP Offload Media tiers are confirmed from their published pricing page. WP Media Cloud is flat regardless of how many items you have offloaded. As your library grows, the gap widens. WP Media Cloud also offers a Lifetime deal at $499.99 for 1,000 sites, a single payment that covers every site you will ever manage.
Note that WP Offload Media counts every size variant WordPress generates as a separate item. A single image upload can produce 4 to 8 files depending on your thumbnail settings. A library of 5,000 original images may already exceed the 6,000 item Silver plan on day one.
Your files stay in your bucket. Only the plugin changes.
The key thing to understand about migrating from WP Offload Media to WP Media Cloud is that your files do not move. They are already in your cloud storage bucket. WP Media Cloud connects to the same bucket and rewrites your WordPress attachment URLs to point to the same files. Nothing is re-uploaded. Nothing is deleted. The migration is a quick configuration change, not a data migration.
Install WP Media Cloud alongside WP Offload Media
Install and activate WP Media Cloud without deactivating WP Offload Media. Both can run at the same time during setup. Your site continues to serve media normally while you configure WP Media Cloud in the background.
Connect WP Media Cloud to the same bucket
Enter your existing storage provider credentials and bucket name in WP Media Cloud settings. This is the same bucket your files already live in. WP Media Cloud reads from it directly. No files are moved, duplicated, or re-uploaded at this step.
Run the import tool
WP Media Cloud's import tool scans your existing media library and updates the attachment metadata to match WP Media Cloud's URL structure. This is a database-only operation. Your files in cloud storage are untouched. The tool works in the background and handles libraries of any size with no item limits.
Deactivate WP Offload Media
Once the import is complete and your site is serving images correctly from cloud storage, deactivate and uninstall WP Offload Media. WP Media Cloud handles everything from here with no item limits and a flat annual rate that stays the same no matter how much your library grows.
WP Offload Media supports 3 providers. WP Media Cloud supports 9.
WP Offload Media works with Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, and Google Cloud Storage only. Cloudflare R2, Bunny Edge Storage, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, and Hetzner are not supported.
If you are staying on one of the three supported providers, WP Media Cloud connects to your existing bucket and your files are never touched. If you want to switch to a provider WP Offload Media cannot use, WP Media Cloud handles that too, including moving your files to the new provider and rewriting all your attachment URLs.
- Cloudflare R2: zero egress fees, global network
- Bunny Edge Storage: edge delivery, low bandwidth cost
- Wasabi: flat rate, no egress charges
- Backblaze B2, Hetzner, S3-compatible endpoints
