Bulk Gallery Upload for Your Online Store

Upload hundreds of product gallery images in minutes using zipped file and CSV!

Need to automate upload gallery images? This is the way.

Collect all the pictures you need into a single ZIP-archive. Warning: Be careful about file names: due to ZIP standard restrictions, use only ASCII characters (“A-z”, numbers, points, commas, hyphens and underscores are valid).

Organize the dependences of products, picture file names, and captions using spreadsheet:

Export products to Tab-delimited .CSV (Product ID column is required).
Edit .CSV file: add “gallery_image” and “gallery_image_title” columns (required).
Fill cells with image file names and descriptions (“product_id” cell value is required to link gallery image with appropriate product).
Save this .CSV as Tab-separated, Utf-8 encoded (Some programs saves this format with .TSV or .TXT file name extension).

Open “Bulk Gallery Upload” app in your Store Dashboard. Pick .CSV and .ZIP files, select options, and press “Import gallery images” button.

Enjoy gallery uploading.

That helps, although images are not appearing in gallery, only after saving the item new and than it is not quicker.

So so. Any image load by itself as a "main" image for any products. I need to go on each products after upload photos to define that... I don't know if its really a time saver as it have to be

A great time saver. Needed this. Before installing this app, was importing images one by one, imagine having hundreds of items to import...often left me frustrated, and getting no where. Bulk gallery upload is a must-have. Should have found it sooner, however glad I did!
