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 /wp-content/uploads/extension-zips/.
