How to import images in magento

Many a times we need to import bulk images for our products. magento has given the option.

Do as follows:

1) Go to system->import/export->Dataflow-profiles
2) select Import all products
3) here click on upload file option and select your file to import
and then save and continue edit
4) click on run Profile. select your uploaded file and execute.

for upload file should be csv format and columns should be sku(mandatory), image(opional), small_image(opional),thumbnail(opional), gallery(opional). gallery is meant for more view images. you can add as many as you wish in that column.all names should be separated by ';' for gallery.

5) Put your images inside media/import/yourfoldername/
6) in your file give the image path like /yourfoldername/yourimagename.

Enjoy....
will come again with some other solutions in magento soon. b'bye!!!!
