Magento 2 bulk image upload: assign hundreds of images by file name in one run
With the Magento 2 bulk image upload from Mironsoft you upload a ZIP archive or a folder of images, and the module assigns every file to the right product based on its name. SKU-100_1.jpg becomes the main image of SKU-100, SKU-100_2.jpg the second gallery image. A preview shows beforehand which file matches which product and where problems exist. The module works in the admin without jQuery and processes large volumes in batches in the background. Magento 2 bulk image upload is configured in a few minutes.
Assignment by SKU
The file name contains the SKU, the module finds the product and attaches the image.
ZIP or folder
Images arrive as a ZIP upload or from a server folder, even several hundred at once.
Preview before import
A table shows product, role, position and possible errors for every file.
Image roles and order
Base, small and thumbnail image as well as gallery position follow from the file name.
Replace or add
You choose whether existing images are kept, added to or replaced.
In the background
Processing runs in batches via queue or cron and does not block the admin.
Why merchants do not want to upload product images one by one in Magento 2
Anyone who maintains a catalogue of several hundred products usually receives images as a folder from the supplier, the photographer or an ERP system. In the Magento admin every image would have to be uploaded individually to the right product, put in order and given the right role. That costs days and causes errors. Many merchants therefore search for Magento 2 bulk image upload, an image import by SKU or a mass upload for product images.
With Magento 2 bulk image upload, sensible file naming is enough. The rest runs automatically: assignment, order, roles and labelling. Errors become visible in the preview beforehand, not only in the shop.
Magento 2 bulk image upload: how to name the files
With Magento 2 bulk image upload, the naming scheme is simple and adjustable in the configuration. The part before the separator is the SKU, followed optionally by a number for the gallery position and a keyword for the role. SKU-100.jpg becomes the base image, SKU-100_2.jpg the second gallery image and SKU-100_swatch.jpg the swatch image. You define separator, role keywords and allowed formats such as JPG, PNG or WebP yourself.
- SKU, position and role are in the file name
- Separator and keywords adjustable
- JPG, PNG and WebP, maximum size adjustable
The preview shows every assignment before the import
After the upload, the module analyses all files and lists them in a table with thumbnail, detected product, role, position and status. Unknown SKUs, duplicate positions, files that are too large or unsupported formats are marked. You import only the error-free rows or correct the files and upload again. Nothing is changed before you confirm.
- Table with thumbnail, product, role and status
- Errors such as unknown SKU or duplicate position marked
- Nothing changes before you confirm
Replace, add and label
In Magento 2 bulk image upload you choose whether existing images of a product are kept, added to or fully replaced. The alt text can be generated from a template with product name and position, and the image label can be filled from a template as well. Optionally the image is set only for a certain store view. When replacing, the module removes the old images from the gallery, and your usual image housekeeping cleans up the files themselves.
- Keep, add or replace
- Alt text and label from a template
- Optionally per store view
Background processing and log
With Magento 2 bulk image upload, large imports are worked off in batches, so neither the admin nor the shop becomes noticeably slower. Progress can be followed in the admin. After the run a log of successful and failed files is available and can be exported as CSV. That way you rework only the failed cases. Rights for upload and import can be assigned separately via ACL.
- Batch processing via queue or cron
- Log per run, CSV export
- ACL rights for upload and import separate
Where Magento 2 bulk image upload helps in daily work
Typical situations in which Magento 2 bulk image upload saves a lot of time.
New supplier catalogue
The supplier sends an image folder named by article numbers. Assigning takes minutes instead of days.
Photo shoot
The photographer names the files by SKU. After the upload all products have images.
Relaunch and migration
When changing shop systems thousands of images come along. The preview shows where file names do not match the SKU.
Later additions
Further gallery images are added to existing products without losing the old ones.
Magento 2 bulk image upload: with and without the module
What Magento 2 bulk image upload changes compared with single uploads in the admin.

| Order and role | Set by hand per image | From number and keyword in the file name |
| Errors | Noticed only in the shop | Preview marks them before the import |
| Volume | Time-consuming with hundreds of images | Batch processing in the background |
| Evidence | None | Log per run with CSV export |

Differentiation from the alt text generator and image cleanup
The alt text generator from Mironsoft fills in missing alt texts on existing images, and the image cleanup removes orphaned files from the media folder. Magento 2 bulk image upload, by contrast, fills the product gallery by assigning new images to the right products in bulk.
All modules can be combined. The interface works in the admin without jQuery, and the module loads nothing in the shop storefront.
No download, but personal setup
Image Bulk Assign is not listed here as a ready-made download file to install yourself. The purchase is a commission: we contact you after the purchase, install the module in your shop and agree on naming scheme, roles and limits together with you.
