After you’ve gathered your product images, it’s important to make sure they get associated with your products correctly.
There are a couple ways to do that, either way is fine:
1. Name the files so they match your Item Numbers
Name the files using this convention:
Image Number (+) Underscore (+) Multiple Image Number (+) File Format
example: 32965_1.jpg
Let’s look at each part of a sample filename:
32965 | start with your Item Number |
_ | then we add an underscore (_) |
1 | then we add a number if there are multiple images for the product |
.jpg | then add the file format |
Here are a few sample filenames:
How to name images for a product with only 1 image:
320496.jpg (320496_1.jpg is also fine)
Here’s how to name the images for a product with 4 images:
762309_1.jpg
762309_2.jpg
762309_3.jpg
762309_4.jpg

2. ...OR, Associate files in a spreadsheet
Instead of renaming your images to match your Item Numbers, you can include a reference link to the image files in a spreadsheet format.
This reference link can be a filename(s) or a web URL(s). When using a web URL, we can download the files; if using filenames only, be sure to send us the files.

products with single images |
products with multiple images… single row for each item |
products with multiple images… multiple rows |
Products with web URLs |
