7. The structure types acceptable are

Option 1- All SKUs in a folder with <SKU>-index

Creating a folder for importing and importing:

While creating the folder, the folder name should be sku, and the image name should be SKU joined using – with the property name [i.e, image_0, image_1, etc] present in PIM.

Below is the video for reference

Option 2- All SKUs are in a folder with <SKU>_index.

The image name should be SKU, followed by the index, and separated by an underscore.

Below is the video for reference

Option 3 – All SKUs are in a folder with the alphabet as an index.

The SKUs are organized in a folder using the alphabet as an index. At the same time, the images are stored in a folder using a naming convention that includes the SKU and an alphabetical index. For instance, if the main image is labeled as SKU 990, then the first additional image would be named 990a, the second 990b, and so on. 

If you’ve organized your bulk image folder using the naming convention we discussed, you might find watching the instructional video helpful for additional support. The video will provide further guidance on managing your images and ensuring they are organized according to SKU.

Option 4-SKU Folders with Images within

When organizing product images on your computer, you can create a folder for each product’s unique SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) number. For example, if the SKU number for a product is 1356, you would create a folder with the name “1356”.

You can save the product images inside the folder using a specific naming convention. For instance, the first image for the product could be named “image_0”, the second image “image_1”, and so on, depending on the number of images you have for that particular product.

This way, you can easily keep track of the product images and quickly find them when needed, as they are organized by SKU number and image name.

To better understand the topic, I suggest watching the accompanying video. This will provide further clarity and explanation.

Option 5 – SKU Folders with sku in the image names

The naming convention to be followed:

If you want to stay organized, it’s essential to have a consistent system for naming your files. 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 1390, create a folder called “1390” and name your images “1390 FF.jpg,” “1390 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.

Check out the instructional video for step-by-step guidance to import many images using the naming convention described earlier. This video will help you import your images efficiently and ensure they are named consistently according to SKU.

Option 6 – SKU Folders with auto index mapper

Creating a folder:

When creating the folder, place all images inside it. As for the image naming convention within the folder, start with the SKU abbreviation, add any relevant details, and conclude with a numerical value.

Option 7 – All SKUs in a folder with a single image

Creating a folder:

If you have a single image for each SKU, you can keep all the SKUs in a single folder and rename the image according to its SKU. To do this, create a new folder and add an image for each SKU. Then, rename each image using the appropriate SKU number. By organizing your files this way, you can easily keep track of your images and ensure they are named consistently for future reference.

Option 8 – All SKUs in a folder split with – for sku and image name

The folder containing the product images should be named using the format “sku-image-name”, and the individual images should be renamed with a random string at the beginning, followed by the product SKU and image name separated by a hyphen. For instance, if the product SKU is “sku1” and the image name in the Product Information Management (PIM) system is “imagename1”, then the corresponding image name should be “abcd-sku1-imagename1”

Option 9 – All SKUs in a folder split with _ and SKU as last value

Name the folder 

To organize the product images, create a folder with any desired name (without spaces) and add all the images with SKUs in the folder. The SKUs should be separated by an underscore and the SKU itself should be the last value. For the image names, start with any random value and end with the corresponding product SKU. For instance, if the SKU is 324, the image name can be named as PQR_334, while the second image can be named as PWER_334 and so on.

Option 10 – All SKUs in a folder split with _ and SKU as the first value

To organize the product images, create a folder named SKU_Image_Name (without spaces) and add all the images with SKUs in the folder. An underscore should separate the SKUs, and the SKU itself should be the first value. For image names, use the naming convention SKU_image_name.

For example, if the SKU is 1680, the name of the image should be 1680_Image_0, where Image_0 is a property in the Product Information Management (PIM) system.

Option 11 – SKU Name in both Folders and Images within — This option has to be selected when you have sku names in the folder along with multiple format[png, jpeg, tiff etc] images all with the sku as the image names.

For Example: abc.png and abc.FBX 

The file looks like this[With 2 image extensions FBX and png]
