PDF Library Zipper is a lightweight WordPress plugin that makes it dead-simple to create a clean, responsive PDF library on any page or post. Site visitors can browse thumbnails (auto-generated from the first page of each PDF), select one or more documents, and download them as a single ZIP file—all without leaving the page. Every ZIP is generated instantly and securely on the fly, keeping things fast and clutter-free for your users.

On the admin side, managing your PDF library is just as easy. Upload new files with drag-and-drop, let the plugin handle thumbnail creation, and delete outdated PDFs or images with one click. Security is built-in: uploads are sanitized, only allowed file types are accepted, and all actions are restricted to admins. Temporary ZIP files are automatically cleaned up after 1 hour, ensuring your server stays tidy with zero extra effort. Whether you’re building a resource center, document hub, or sharing internal files, PDF Library Zipper keeps things simple, efficient, and truly WordPress-native.
Key Highlights:
- Front‑end grid: Mobile‑first CSS Grid layout, with adjustable columns and thumbnail sizing.
- Auto‑thumbnails: Generates a crisp PNG preview of page 1 for every PDF using Ghostscript + Imagick.
- Select & ZIP: Optional “Select All” toggle, per‐file checkboxes, and a one‑click Download button that bundles chosen PDFs into a custom name and time‑stamped ZIP.
- Admin settings: Pick grid columns (2–6), thumbnail width, ZIP expiry time, button label, filename prefix—and even enable a manual light/dark‑mode override.
- Zero bloat: No bulky frameworks, no external dependencies beyond WordPress core, Imagick, and Ghostscript.
Whether you need a simple resource center, a whitepaper hub, or a user‑friendly download portal, PDF Library Zipper Lite delivers powerful functionality in a lean, easy‑to‑use package—so you can share your PDFs, not your plugin’s code.
