You can add a photo to a product manually, by importing it, or using the image import utility.
How to add photos manually
The images should be stored on your PC.
Step 1.
In the Products section, open the selected product.
Step 2.
Select the field to upload a photo.
Image — an image that will be displayed only for this variant.
Gallery — an image that will be displayed for all variants.
Attention: the maximum allowed file size is 5 MB.
The recommended image size is 1800 × 1800 pixels.
Step 3.
In the required field, click Add Images, and in the window that appears, click Browse.
Step 4.
In a folder on your PC, select a product image and upload it.
To select multiple photos, hold down the Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ (macOS) button and click on all the photos in the folder.
Step 5.
Save the page to see the changes.
How to add photos by import
To add photos in bulk by import, you need to make the images available via a direct link, and the service where they are stored must allow to parse them. This can be your previous website or your supplier's website, for example.
Step 1.
Prepare a file that contains your product SKUs and links to images in the Image or Gallery column. If you already have this file, go to step 2.
💡 Tip
If you need to add several photos for one product to the table, you need to list them in one cell separated by semicolons. For example:
Step 2.
In the admin panel, open Products and click Import.
Step 3.
Click Select on Disk and select the file you've prepared to import, or simply drag and drop the file into the dialog box.
If you have a file in the form of a link from your supplier, paste it into the appropriate box.
Step 4.
On the import preview page, the attributes will be mapped automatically, except for Image and Gallery. They need to be mapped manually.
💡 Tip
If there are unnecessary attributes in the file, you can remove all mappings in 2 clicks. And then set the mappings only for the SKU and parameters that need to be updated — Image and/or Gallery.
Step 5.
Click Import.
Step 6.
Choose which actions you want to perform with the products. To add photos, you can use the actions that are already set by default.
Step 7.
Click Start import and wait for the result.
How to add a photo through the import utility
If you have product photos stored on your PC, you can upload them in bulk using the import utility.
Requirements for uploading:
The size of each file is up to 5 MB;
Total file size — 256 MB;
Number of files at a time — up to 500.
Preparing image files
For the Image block, the file name must match the SKU of a product for which the image is being uploaded. To attach multiple images to a single product, you need to add a number to the file name with an @, for example:
SKU: BK554-233; file names: BK554-233.jpg, [email protected], BK554-233@2.jpg , [email protected], etc.
For the Gallery block, the file name should correspond to the product article for which the image is being uploaded. Add @gallery_common to the file name, for example:
BK554-233@gallery_common.jpg, BK554-233@[email protected], BK554-233@[email protected], etc.
Uploading photos
Step 1.
Go to Products → Image import.
Step 2.
Click Select on disk.
Step 3.
Select a photo to upload. To select more than one, press Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ (macOS). Click Open.
Step 4.
On the preview page, make sure that you have set the correct SKUs in the names. This is indicated by the Status column.
Step 5.
If necessary, select the Save existing image in the gallery checkbox. Without it, all photos will be overwritten.
Step 6.
Click the Import images button.
Wait for the import results and check the status.
