Product & Category Image Uploader for WooCommerce

Name your photos after your SKUs and category names, upload them, and every photo lands on the right product or category.

By Grow Better Digital

What it does

Drop a folder of photos in, see exactly what will be matched before anything changes, then attach them all with one button. No more opening products one by one to set the image.

The Image Uploader showing photos matched to products and categories, with a Done message.
Photos matched by SKU, previewed, then attached.
Step 1

Add your photos

Drop them in or choose files. They go into the Media Library with their file names kept, and a photo added twice is not duplicated.

Photos listed as added in the uploader.
Step 2

Check the matches first

The preview shows each photo, where it goes and what will happen: set, add to gallery, left alone, or no match. Nothing is saved yet.

SKU match: mug-blue-01.jpg becomes the image for SKU MUG-BLUE-01. mug-blue-01_2.jpg becomes its second gallery photo. homeware.jpg becomes the Homeware category image.

The preview table listing each photo, its product or category and what will happen.
Step 3

Attach them in one go

One button sets the images and fills in empty alt text from the product or category name. Products that already have an image are left alone unless you choose to replace them, and you get a list of any product that still has no photo.

The problem

The problem it solves

Adding a photo to each product by hand is slow, easy to get wrong, and gets worse with hundreds of products. Importing a CSV with image links needs every photo hosted somewhere first.

Why it is good

What you get

Hours back

Hundreds of photos matched in a minute instead of product by product.

No surprises

See every match first. Existing images are protected.

Better SEO

Alt text is filled in for you, so images are not left blank.

Works with

Pairs with the Store Page Builder and Image Speed Helper

Import your products with the Store Page Builder for WooCommerce, then use this to connect every photo to its SKU. Once your photos are attached, the Image Speed Helper keeps them light so your product pages load quickly. Finish with the Meta Description Writer to add the search descriptions.

Questions

Quick answers

How are photos matched to products?

By file name. A photo named after a product SKU becomes that product’s image. A name ending _2, _3 and so on adds it to the gallery. A name that matches a category name becomes the category image.

Will it overwrite my existing images?

No, not unless you tick the option to replace. Products that already have an image are left alone.

Can I see what it will do first?

Yes. The preview lists every photo and what will happen. Nothing changes until you press Attach.

Does it delete anything?

No. It never deletes products, photos or categories.

Do I need the Store Page Builder?

No, it works on any WooCommerce store. The two are designed to work well together.
