In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of uploading photos into AMP and provide some best practices for photo file naming to ensure everything works smoothly.
Why Upload Photos to AMP?
In order to display product photos in the AMP catalog, they need to be uploaded to AMP first. Once uploaded, you can easily assign these photos to the corresponding products in your catalog.
Steps to Upload Photos to AMP
Navigate to the Photos Section
From the AMP CMS, go to the Photos section.Click "Upload Photos"
Click the Upload Photos button to start the upload process.
Select Photos to Upload
Click the Upload Photos button and select the photo files you'd like to upload from your computer. Once selected, click Open.Check for Successful Upload
After the upload is complete, you should see your photos listed in the Photos section of AMP.
Troubleshooting Photo Upload Issues
If you encounter an error while uploading a photo (e.g., an error code or file corruption warning), try the following:
Re-save the Image: Open the photo in a standard desktop photo editor (like Paint or Preview) and re-save it as a JPG file. This can often resolve corruption or compatibility issues.
File Size: Ensure your photo files are under 100 MB. Larger files may fail to upload.
File Types Supported
AMP supports several photo file formats, including:
- JPG
- PNG
- TIFF
- GIF
- BMP
Pro Tips:
- Select Multiple Files at Once: Hold the SHIFT key while selecting files to upload multiple photos at once.
- Organize Your Photos: Consider naming your files clearly (e.g.,
product-name-front.jpg,product-name-side.jpg) to easily identify them when assigning them to products later.
By following these steps and tips, you'll have your product photos uploaded and ready to display in your AMP catalog in no time!
