You can replace images in your published listings and drafts via CSV upload. Your CSV will require the following headers to replace images:
| Field | Value |
| sku | The sku of the listing whose images you wish to update/replace. |
| overwrite_images | This field requires a value of TRUE or FALSE. If set to TRUE, the current images in the listing will be replaced with the new images you add to your product image columns. If set to FALSE, the current images in the listing will not be affected. |
| product_image_1 |
Must be to a valid online URL (e.g. http or https). Some sellers have successfully used Google Drive, Photobucket or Dropbox to host their images. Make sure your permissions are open to the public. Depending on the position of the images you want to replace, this can also be product_image_2, product_image_4, product_image_7, etc. |
If you set overwrite_images to TRUE in a row, this acts as a blank slate, as if you are uploading images to your listing for the first time.
In the example below, uploading this CSV would remove all of the images that currently exist in this listing and replace them with the image linked under product_image_1:
FAQ's
I just exported all of my listings, and I want to replace the images on some of my listings but not others. Can I achieve this in a single CSV upload?
A: Yes. You can upload a CSV that has overwrite_images set to TRUE on some listings and FALSE on other listings. If overwrite_images is set to FALSE, the images for the listing in that row will not be affected.
In the example below, the listing with sku rev-12345678 will have its images replaced with the images linked under product_image_1, product_image_2, and product_image_3. The images in the listing with sku rev-24681012 will not be affected, regardless of what is entered in the product image columns for that row.
My listing has three images. I only want to replace the second image and keep the first image and the third image the same. How can I do this?
A: In the row for this SKU, you will need to have the overwrite_images column set to TRUE. This will allow you to upload images to your listing as if you are adding them for the first time. If you want to keep the first and third images in your listing the same, you will need to re-add the original image links for those images under the headers product_image_1 and product_image_3. For the image you wish to replace, you can add an updated image link under product_image_2.
