How to Import Product Images into Magento 2 in Bulk

- Fire development, Magento 2

magento 2 import product images

Below, we describe how to import product images in Magento 2 using CSV. Since it is a part of a product import routine, you will only need to learn a couple of aspects.

Of course, you can add images to product pages one by one but what if there are thousands of items on your storefront? In this case, manual upload doesn’t seem to be a good idea. However, there are two methods described in the official documentation that dramatically simplify the Magento bulk image import. First of all, you can leverage a local server to upload product images to Magento 2 in bulk.

Secondly, the system lets you use a remote server for this purpose. However, both methods incorporate the default data transfer instruments of Magento 2. Since they are a little bit limited, you can use the Improved Import & Export extension to import product images to Magento 2. Let’s see how the default methods look and what benefits our module offers. Visit our Magento 2 Developer’s Cookbook to discover other useful tips.

How to Import Database in Magento 2

- Fire development, Magento 2

magento 2 import database command line

Recently, we’ve spotted a question on StackExchange regarding the Magento 2 database import. David Duong faced problems while transferring a database on Magento 2.3.3. Below, we shed light on the issue and the provided solution for Magento 2 to import a database via the command line. However, it is quite a complex process since the system doesn’t let you transfer a database to Magento 2 directly. You always need to create an output file that contains a particular entity. If your file incorporates several types of data (e.g., products and orders), it is necessary to split it into two separate tables.

Furthermore, you always have to edit attributes in the imported file to make them suitable for the Magento 2 requirements. Otherwise, the Magento import of a database becomes questionable. It is impossible to automate regular data transfers from a remote database to your e-commerce website. However, there is a tool that solves all these issues. After we describe a method provided in the StackExchange discussion, you will find out how to achieve the missing functionality with the help of the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension. For more tips and advice, read our Cookbook. Continue Reading
