What it is
The PSM Image Importer is a bulk image import module for PrestaShop that lets you upload hundreds of product images at once via a ZIP file or a drag-and-drop interface.
The module automatically matches each image to the correct product based on the product reference or SKU in the filename.
You can configure the batch size, the import mode and automated import via cron job.
Why you need it
Managing product images in bulk is one of the most time-consuming tasks in an online store. If your shop has hundreds or thousands of products, uploading images one by one through the PrestaShop back office is not practical. With PSM Image Importer you upload a single ZIP file and avoid matching errors.
Key features
ZIP file import
Upload a single ZIP archive containing hundreds of images. The module automatically extracts and processes every file, saving manual work.
Drag-and-drop interface
An intuitive drag-and-drop interface lets you send images directly from your computer without complex configuration steps.
Automatic product matching
Each image is matched to the correct product based on the filename, which can contain the product reference or another configurable identifier field. Photo numbering is also supported (for example REF001_1.jpg, REF001_2.jpg).
Preserve mode
Choose whether new images replace existing ones or are added alongside them, so no previously uploaded photos are lost.
Cron job for automated import
Set up automated imports via cron job from a designated server folder, suited to stores that receive new images from suppliers on a regular schedule.
Batch processing
Configure the batch size to control how many images the server processes per run, preventing timeouts during large imports.
Detailed result log
Every import produces a detailed report with counts of successful, failed and skipped images, so you always know exactly what happened.

- Bulk upload of images for new products via ZIP
