Batch Image Upload

The Batch Image Upload function allows you to upload multiple images at once. Auctria can also automatically assign them to different items.

Each image must be mapped to a single item. If, for example, you have a folder of images named 1, 2, 3, etc., the system can upload these images in the folder and assign them to their respective items numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on.

INFORMATION

Any item can be assigned multiple images by setting the filename (from the example above) for the images as 1_a, 1_b, etc. This will assign the a and b images to item# 1.

Auctria Pro-Tip from Launch Services!

If you want to assign the same image to multiple items, you can copy it "locally" on your computer and give it a name that will map to each item. Then continue with upload process for the image folder.

NOTE

Although precise dimensions are not critical (since screen sizes will vary), the following aspect ratios will work well with images of reasonable file sizes:

  • rectangular (16:9, 4:3, etc.) for background and item images
  • square (1:1), especially with logo
  • long and thin (for example 6:1) should only be used for banner style images

Also see Image Sizes for ideas on some specific sizes to consider for your images.
