Our Story
Powering 200,000+ websites with seamless downloads and digital commerce
We believe managing documents and selling digital products should be simple, secure, and seamlessly integrated with WordPress. That's why we built Download Manager.
Our Mission
Your complete solution for document management and digital sales
We started WordPress Download Manager because we saw a gap in the market. WordPress powers over 40% of the web, yet there was no comprehensive solution for managing documents and selling digital products that was both powerful and easy to use.
Our mission is to provide WordPress users with a complete digital asset management platform. Share documents securely, sell digital products effortlessly, track downloads with detailed analytics — all from your WordPress dashboard.
From resource libraries and document portals to full-featured digital stores, Download Manager gives you everything you need to distribute and monetize your digital content professionally.
