Media plugins extend WordPress's built-in media library with features like folder organisation, bulk upload tools, cloud storage integration, video hosting, audio players, gallery builders, and advanced file management controls. The default WordPress media library is a flat, unorganised grid that becomes unwieldy once a site accumulates thousands of assets. FileBird, WP Media Folder, and Envira Gallery help photographers, videographers, agencies, and large content teams organise and present media assets in structured, browsable formats. Media management plugins also address storage and bandwidth costs by offloading assets to Amazon S3, Google Cloud, or Cloudflare R2, making them essential infrastructure for media-heavy WordPress sites.
