Upload catalog photos from a folder on your computer , using an Excel or CSV file. Match each image to its product by reference, EAN, ID, or supplier reference, and convert on the fly formats that PrestaShop doesn't support: AVIF, WebP, BMP, etc.
No FTP and no giant ZIP file. PrestaShop 1.7.6 to 9.x. The display requires Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave on a computer.
The photos are on your computer. The catalog is empty.
You have the folder with the supplier's photos. You have the catalog uploaded. And in between, the part nobody wants to do: upload them one by one, product by product, looking up the reference.
RKR Bulk Images reads that folder directly from your computer and uploads each photo to the correct product. No FTP, no giant ZIP file, and no leaving your browser open all night crossing your fingers.
You choose the folder. That's all that gets uploaded.
The browser asks for permission once, and the screen reads the entire folder—including subfolders—in a couple of seconds. Nothing leaves your computer until you start the document , and what does leave are the images requested by the spreadsheet: nothing more.
Then it uploads them one by one, with a progress bar and a log. You can pause, close the tab, and return: the work continues right where it left off.
Don't have the list? We'll make it for you.
An Excel spreadsheet or CSV file specifies which photo goes with which product. If you don't have one, the "Download image list" button will generate a file containing everything in the folder, including the columns that this screen expects later .
Open it in Excel, fill in the reference column, and then load the same file again. No need to manually type a path or struggle with capital letters: the names appear exactly as they are on the disk.
AVIF, WebP, BMP: converted on the fly
PrestaShop saves product photos in JPG format. If the supplier sends you AVIF, WebP, BMP, GIF, or TIFF files, the module converts them on the fly.
- What your server knows how to open, the server converts —the settings screen tells you what formats are supported by your hosting;
- The rest is handled by your own browser before uploading. Chrome decodes AVIF and WebP by default, so hosting without AVIF support—which is the norm—is no longer a problem.
- And it works even if the file is misleading : a
.jpgthat is actually an AVIF is detected by its bytes, not by its name, and is converted anyway.
Also from a URL, and also to combinations
The screen reads your computer's folder using the File System Access API , which only exists in Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave, and on a computer . Firefox and Safari don't implement it, and on a mobile device, there's no folder to grant access to. If you're using one of those devices, the module will tell you this before letting you start, instead of failing mid-upload. The rest of the module—the store, the images, the thumbnails—works the same on any server.
v1.1.4
- New option: "Don't generate thumbnails now." Each photo normally generates a thumbnail for each image type and format in the store, plus the watermark, which is then processed again. In a store with seventeen types, this means more than thirty Google Drive operations in a single request, and on a hosting account with capped CPU usage, this is what causes the server to start rejecting requests—the module ends up creating its own bottleneck. With this option selected, only the original image is uploaded, and the upload is incredibly fast. It's disabled by default and remains so unless requested : a half-finished store is worse than a slow upload. Until the thumbnails are regenerated, these products are displayed without images. The full image can be recovered from Design → Image Settings → Regenerate Thumbnails , which also reapplies the watermark . Therefore, when this option is enabled, the watermark hook is also not executed: doing so without thumbnails wouldn't save any resources, because that module processes them anyway.
- And you are notified at the end , on the results screen and with the number of affected images, not just in the box that was checked half an hour earlier.

Questions and answers
-
¿Tengo que subir las fotos por FTP o en un ZIP?
0-
No. Eliges una carpeta de tu ordenador, el navegador te pide permiso una vez y la pantalla lee la carpeta entera, subcarpetas incluidas. No sale nada de tu equipo hasta que arrancas el trabajo, y solo se suben las imágenes que pide la hoja.

¿Funciona con cualquier navegador?
0-
No, y conviene saberlo antes de comprar. La pantalla lee la carpeta con la File System Access API, que solo existe en Chrome, Edge, Opera o Brave en un ordenador; Firefox, Safari y los móviles no la tienen. Si entras con uno de ellos, el módulo te avisa antes de empezar. El resto del módulo funciona igual en cualquier servidor.

¿Cómo sabe qué foto va a cada producto?
0-
Por una hoja de Excel o un CSV que empareja cada imagen por referencia, EAN13, id de producto o referencia de proveedor; el módulo detecta cuál usas. Si no tienes la hoja, el botón «Descargar el listado de imágenes» te da un fichero con todo lo que hay en la carpeta y las columnas que espera. Antes de subir nada ves cuántas líneas no encajan.

Mi proveedor me manda las fotos en AVIF o WebP. ¿Sirven?
0-
Sí. PrestaShop guarda las fotos de producto en JPG, así que el módulo convierte AVIF, WebP, BMP, GIF o TIFF sobre la marcha: lo que tu servidor sabe abrir lo convierte el servidor, y el resto lo convierte el propio navegador antes de subirlo. Detecta el formato real por su contenido, aunque el fichero tenga otra extensión.

-
¿Puedo asignar fotos a combinaciones o importarlas desde una URL?
0-
Sí a las dos. Una columna indica la combinación de cada foto y el módulo la asocia igual que lo hace PrestaShop; una imagen repetida en varias filas se sube una sola vez. Si la hoja trae direcciones en lugar de nombres de fichero, las descarga, y si es una miniatura de PrestaShop se trae la original. También puedes marcar la portada y el texto alternativo.

¿Qué pasa si cierro la pestaña a mitad? ¿Con qué versiones funciona?
0-
Puedes pausar, cerrar la pestaña y volver: el trabajo continúa donde estaba, y al terminar tienes un informe CSV con el estado de cada imagen. Es compatible con PrestaShop 1.7.6, 1.7.8, 8.x y 9.x y PHP 7.2 o superior, y genera las miniaturas de tu tema en todos los formatos configurados.
