Upload your files to the WordPress Media Library by URL.

Known Issues

This plugin may conflict with anything that alters the WordPress Media Library page.
If the URL has a signature verification or lacks a file extension, WordPress does not seem to import these types of files,
common when pulling images off private CDNs.
If the URL is lacking an extension for the filename, WordPress may not be able to download it.

Plugin conflicts:
-FileBird (tested and confirmed)
-WooCommerce Add New Product page (patched)

Technical Details

Once you add in your URL(s), the plugin will download and add them to the media library.
Compatible file extensions:

Additional Info

This plugin does not alter any aspect of the image or your website and uses the natural WordPress functions to download and insert media into your library.
If a URL does not exist or there is an issue with a URL, you will not receive any error, and nothing will happen.
