Option 5 – SKU Folders with sku in the image names

An excellent way to do this is to make a folder for each SKU and include the SKU number in the names of all associated image files. For instance, if your SKU is 1930, create a folder called “1930” and name your images “1930 FF.jpg,” “1930 FS.jpg,” and so on. This technique may take a little extra effort upfront, but it will save you time and frustration by simplifying, finding, and managing your files.

The folder is named after the SKU number, which is “1030,” and the images within it follow the format of SKU number_ProductName_Quarter_Number.

For example, one of the image names is “1030_Silver_Ring_q21_01,” where “1030” is the SKU, “Silver_Ring” is the product name, “q21” represents the quarter, and “01” is the image number.
