 #### Variables
 * [Post](https://pkg.go.dev/git.garrido.io/gabriel/mastodon-markdown-archive/client#Post)
+
+## Post media
+
+By default, a post's media is not downloaded. Use the `--download-media` flag with a path to download a post's media. The post's original file is downloaded, and the image's id is used as the filename. 
+
+For example, `--download-media=./images` saves any media to the `./images`.
+
+Once downloaded, the media's path is available in [MediaAttachment.Path](https://pkg.go.dev/git.garrido.io/gabriel/mastodon-markdown-archive/client#MediaAttachment) as an absolute path.
+
+Sprig's [path](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/paths.html) functions can be used in the templates to manipulate the path as necessary. For example, the default template uses `osBase` to get the last element of the filepath.  
+
+You can use `--download-media=bundle` to save the post media in a single directory with its original post. In this case, the post's filename will be used as the directory name and the post filename will be `index.{extension}`. This is done specifically to support Hugo [page bundles](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles).
+
+For example, `--download-media="./bundle" --filename='{{ .Post.CreatedAt | date "2006-01-02" }}-{{.Post.Id}}.md'` will create a `YYYY-MM-DD-<post id>/` directory, with the post saved as `YYYY-MM-DD-<post id>/index.md` and media saved as `YYYY-MM-DD-<post id>/<media id>.<media ext>`.
