Bulk Upload of Images and Videos

Topic summary

Store owner needs to bulk upload media for 800 products (7 images + 1 video each), with files named by SKU and stored in Dropbox. They’re seeking an easy Shopify-compatible method, ideally via an app.

Suggestions and tools mentioned:

  • General advice: use a third‑party app.
  • BucketLynx: hosts product images and can auto-populate bulk upload files; initially photos-only, later updated to support .mp4 and .mov videos (recent development). No app install required (web-based).
  • Past apps: “bulky – product media upload” previously worked but appears unsupported now; “photo finish” handled images only and was used for an initial upload.

Needs and pain points:

  • Uploading hundreds of items at once (one prior solution limited to 200 per batch).
  • Video support alongside images.
  • Mapping media to products, ideally by SKU.
  • Desired features include a UI for selecting files in bulk and optional AI for tagging/descriptions/alt text (alt-text bulk tips shared, tangential).

Current status:

  • No consensus on a single best solution. BucketLynx’s new video support is the main update. Original poster has not confirmed a chosen tool; discussion remains open.
