How to Bulk Import Product Images in Abacus
Abacus allows you to bulk import product images, so you don’t need to upload images one by one manually. This is especially useful when setting up a new menu or updating many product images at once.
Before You Start (Important Requirements)
Please make sure all product images meet the following requirements:
-
File format: .jpg or .png
-
Image size: 861 × 600 px
-
File name: Must exactly match the product code in Abacus
If the file name does not match the product code, the image will not be imported correctly

1. Resize the Images
Resize all product images to 861 × 600 px. You can use any free online image resizer available on Google.
2. Rename the Image Files
Rename each image file using its product code.
Example:
a. Product code: COFFEE01
b. Image file name: COFFEE01.jpg
Resize all product images to 861 × 600 px. You can use any free online image resizer available on Google.
2. Rename the Image Files
