How Do I Import Bulk Images Into WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 11:54 pm

Adding products to your WooCommerce store one by one can be very time-consuming, especially if you have a lot of products. In this tutorial, we will show you how to import bulk images into WooCommerce.

First, you need to prepare your image files. Make sure that all images are of the same size and have the same file extension.We recommend using .jpg files.

Once you have all your images ready, go to WooCommerce > Products and click on the Import button at the top.

On the next screen, select Choose File and select the image file that you want to import. Then, click on the Upload file and import button.

After uploading your image file, you will be asked to match the columns in your CSV file with the product data fields in WooCommerce. For our example, we’ll match the image column with the Image column.

Be sure to select a column from your CSV file for the product image or else your imported images will not appear in WooCommerce.

PRO TIP: When importing a large number of images into WooCommerce, it is important to take care to avoid overloading the server. If too many images are imported at once, it can cause the server to crash. It is therefore recommended to import images in small batches of no more than 50 at a time.
