Mass Importing Images Magmi

Question

How would I mass upload products with images all at once. Say I have 1000 products with images can I upload all in one step and how? Instead of individually uploading one product and image at a time.

take a look at this - http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCkQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstackoverflow.com%2Fquestions%2F22443072%2Fmagento-mass-import-images-with-magmi-images-excluded&ei=jmi9VLOQD4y1ggTDrYTwCQ&usg=AFQjCNHqxaDB5Ye8Eul7r7oNfIESoYTPFA&sig2=80clsM_p4_OYHv4MuKdkWg&bvm=bv.83829542,d.eXY — Caffeinated, Jan 19 '15 at 20:27

You can do this easily with Magmi. Configure your Image Attribute Processor like the following image.

enter image description here

Next, upload all your images to /Magento Root/media/import/.

Finally, update your CSV to include the image name for the following fields. image, small_image, thumbnail. Example: image.jpg

You can also add the label for these as well. image_label, small_image_label, thumbnail_label

Magmi only updates the database, and since images are not stored in the database, you can not upload the actual image files using Magmi. You need to first upload all of the images onto your server using FTP, then you can use Magmi to map each product to its appropriate image.

So if you have products with skus 001, 002, and 003. And images with file names 001.jpg, 002.jpg, and 003.jpg. You first upload the images to the server, then make your CSV look like the following in order to map the images to the correct products.

sku,image,thumbnail,small_image
001,001.jpg,001.jpg,001.jpg
002,002.jpg,002.jpg,002.jpg
003,003.jpg,003.jpg,003.jpg

Also make sure that you upload the images to the correct directory which is matched in the Magmi "image attribute processor" plugin
