Your HubSpot website is really two layers: the pages themselves, and the hundreds — often thousands — of images, PDFs, videos, and other files those pages depend on. All of that second layer lives in HubSpot's File Manager, and the fastest way to bulk download it is FileFetch's library export: open the app, choose Export entire file library, scan, filter if you want, and export — folder structure preserved.
This guide covers which layer is which, the step-by-step export, and the filters that matter when the library is huge.
What counts as "website content" in HubSpot?
Worth being precise, because it determines the right tool:
- Page and blog copy — the text and structure of your CMS pages, blog posts, and templates. That lives in HubSpot's content tools, and HubSpot provides its own export paths for it.
- The files behind the pages — hero images, team photos, logo variants, downloadable PDFs and whitepapers, videos, case-study decks. Every one of those is a file in the File Manager (Marketing → Files in most portals), uploaded over years by many hands.
FileFetch handles that second layer, and in practice it's the layer teams get stuck on: HubSpot's own Files tool export requires Super Admin permissions and hand-selecting files with checkboxes — no filters — with the zip arriving later by emailed link. For a site rebuild or an off-HubSpot migration, that's a long afternoon of ticking boxes — unless you export the library in one filtered run.
Step by step: export your website files
The library export is the simplest of FileFetch's three modes:
- Install FileFetch from the HubSpot App Marketplace — OAuth, read-only scopes, Free plan available to test. Install details live in the setup guide.
- Open FileFetch from a record's FileFetch tab or Settings → Integrations → Connected apps → FileFetch.
- Choose "Export entire file library."
- Scan the library. FileFetch counts every file first — you see exactly what a full export means before committing anything.
- Apply filters (optional, covered below) and scan again to see the narrowed count.
- Export. The zip preserves your File Manager folder structure, so website-assets/heroes/ comes out as website-assets/heroes/. Large libraries split into zip parts automatically, and a log records every file's outcome.

Filters that tame a big library
A mature portal's File Manager mixes website assets with email graphics, sales collateral, and years of miscellany. The library export filters let you carve out just the website layer:
- Folder — if your site assets live in dedicated folders, this alone does the job.
- File type and extension — images only, or just PDFs for the downloadable-resources sweep.
- Image dimensions — a minimum width is a neat trick for separating full-size web imagery from email thumbnails and icons.
- Upload or modified date — everything added since the last backup.
- Visibility and status — website files are typically public, which helps split them from private internal documents.
Scan is free to repeat, so the workflow is: filter, scan, check the count, adjust, export once.
When teams actually need this
Four scenarios bring people to a website-content export:
- A redesign or rebuild — your new build team needs every current asset, whether the new site is on HubSpot or elsewhere. (It's how we'd start a custom website project with years of HubSpot history.)
- Leaving HubSpot CMS — the copy migrates through HubSpot's content exports; the files migrate through yours.
- Agency handoffs — taking ownership of your own assets when a relationship ends, in either direction.
- Backup before a cleanup — about to delete old folders? Export first, then prune with confidence.
Allowances and the fine print
Library exports count files like any other run: 100 a month on Free, 5,000 on Starter, 40,000 on Pro, and if an export would exceed your allowance FileFetch shows the usage and cost before anything downloads — overage only bills after you approve it in the app. Full pricing is on the FileFetch page.
Your files move from HubSpot's signed URLs straight to your browser; they never touch our servers. FileFetch is built by Market Disrupt, a HubSpot Platinum Solutions Partner. If your export is part of a bigger move — migration, rebuild, or consolidation — talk to us; the file pull is usually the easy part, and we can help with the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download all files from the HubSpot File Manager?
HubSpot's Files tool can export hand-selected files as a zip, but it requires Super Admin permissions, offers no filters, and delivers the zip by emailed link. FileFetch's library export scans your whole File Manager, lets you filter by folder, type, date, size, or image dimensions, and downloads everything into zip parts with your folder structure preserved.
Does exporting website files from HubSpot include my page content?
No — page and blog copy lives in HubSpot's content tools, which have their own export options. A File Manager export covers the asset layer: the images, PDFs, videos, and other files your pages reference. A complete website migration uses both.
Can I export only my website images from HubSpot, not everything?
Yes. FileFetch's library filters narrow the export by folder, file type, extension, visibility, upload date, size, and image dimensions — so "images over 1,200 pixels wide in the website-assets folder" is a two-filter scan. You see the exact matching count before downloading.
