A clean, reliable way to package any installed plugin into a ZIP file directly inside WP-Admin.

Joby Franczek

The BFG Tools – Extension Zipper lets you create on-demand ZIP files of any installed WordPress plugin directly from the admin dashboard. 
Perfect for backups, migrating plugins between sites, sending code to a developer, or archiving a working version before updates.
All ZIP files are generated safely using PHP’s ZipArchive and saved to <code>/wp-content/uploads/extension-zips/</code>.
