Image Importer for PrestaShop 9 – Bulk Product Image Import via ZIP

Written by Christos Daggas on . Posted in Modules.

What is PSM Image Importer?

PSM Image Importer is a bulk image import module for PrestaShop 9 that lets you upload hundreds of product images at once via a ZIP file or a drag-and-drop interface. No more uploading images one by one — the module automatically matches each image to the correct product based on its filename reference or SKU.

Key Features

ZIP File Import

Upload a single ZIP archive containing hundreds of images. The module automatically extracts and processes every file, saving hours of 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 (e.g. REF001_1.jpg, REF001_2.jpg).

Preserve Mode

Choose whether new images will replace existing ones or be added alongside them, ensuring no previously uploaded photos are lost.

Cron Job for Automated Import

Set up automated imports via cron job from a designated server folder — ideal for 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.

Why Do 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 simply not scalable. With PSM Image Importer:

  • Save hours of work by bulk-uploading images via a single ZIP file
  • Eliminate matching errors — the system maps images to products automatically
  • Stay in control with detailed import result logs
  • Fully automate the image pipeline from suppliers via cron job

Who Is It For?

PSM Image Importer is ideal for importers, wholesalers, and large-catalogue stores that regularly receive new product images from suppliers and need a reliable, automated import solution.
