- 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.
