Download website assets/Websitebuilder

How do I download my website's assets from a site built in Websitebuilder? I thought there used to be a bulk download function but I can't find it.

According to google:

Homestead's modern WebsiteBuilder does not offer a built-in file manager or a direct "download website" button for full sites. However, you can use the Site Archive Tool for legacy archives, or download individual images, videos, and source files right from your live page. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Method 1: Create a Site Archive (For Sitebuilder Plus)

If you are using Homestead's Sitebuilder Plus, you can download a full backup of your site data. [1]

Log in to your Homestead Dashboard.
Click on Websites Manager in the left navigation menu.
Select the site you want to archive from the drop-down menu.
Under the Edit Site button, click More.
Select Create new site archive file.
Wait for the archive to compile (this takes a few minutes, depending on the size of your site).
Refresh the page if needed, then click the Download site archive link that appears under the More menu.
Save the .zip file locally. You can open and extract it using software like 7-Zip or WinRAR. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Method 2: Manual Download via Live Site

If you only need your visual assets (e.g., images, PDFs, backgrounds) and do not need the underlying Homestead proprietary code, the easiest way is to download them from the live internet:

Open your published website in your web browser (like Google Chrome or Safari).
Right-click on any image or text you want to save.
Select Save image as... (or the equivalent save option for your browser) to download the asset to your local desktop. [1, 2]

Method 3: Using a Third-Party Extractor

If you have hundreds of images and do not wish to save them individually, you can use third-party browser extensions specifically designed to scrape media. [1]

Install an asset-extraction extension (e.g., the MiroMiro extension from the Chrome Web Store).
Navigate to your live website and activate the tool.
Use the extension to filter by file type and download all images or SVGs in a single bulk export.
