PixelVault

📁 PixelVault is the free way to organize your WordPress media library with unlimited, drag-and-drop media folders, and now to present those folders as a downloadable Document Library on the front end. Sort images, videos, PDFs, audio, and documents into nested, colour-coded folders right inside the Media Library, then publish any folder as a browsable asset manager for your visitors.

Stop scrolling through hundreds of unsorted attachments. PixelVault lets you categorize media into folders and subfolders, filter instantly, and find any file in seconds — a proper file manager for your WordPress media.

Folders are virtual — physical files never move, no URLs change, nothing breaks, and standard WordPress export/import keeps working without any special steps.

🆕 Document Library block (new in 1.2.0)

Turn any media folder into a browsable, downloadable document library on the front end, no page builder required. The PixelVault Document Library Gutenberg block renders a folder as an accessible file browser with a sidebar folder tree, breadcrumb navigation, in-library search, pagination, and per-file downloads.

• 🗂️ Folder tree and breadcrumb: visitors browse nested folders without page reloads
• 🔍 Search and pagination: find files fast inside large folders
• ⬇️ Per-file download plus Download-all ZIP: grab one file or the whole folder in a click
• 🎨 Three design presets (Cards, Compact, Minimal), with an accent colour and a framed option
• ♿ Accessibility-first: full keyboard navigation (WAI-ARIA tree pattern), screen-reader friendly
• 📱 Fully responsive: grid and list layouts adapt to mobile

Perfect for knowledge bases, press kits, resource centres, download portals, and product documentation.
