About this plugin
Neelbyte Image Catalog Importer is a ZIP-to-Media and WooCommerce image management tool by Neelbyte Websolution.
Upload one or multiple ZIP catalogs. The importer finds image files inside SKU folders, creates WordPress Media Library attachments, generates SKU-based filenames, and can assign every image to the matching WooCommerce product.
The built-in Gallery Repair tool is designed for catalogs that were already imported. It scans existing Media Library attachments, recovers SKU information from importer metadata or generated filenames, and adds every matching image to the correct WooCommerce product gallery without uploading the files again.
ZIP structure
Example:
zip
├── ABC123/
jpg
jpg
png
└── XYZ456/
jpg
jpg
Generated filenames:
jpg
jpg
png
Nested folders are supported. The folder directly containing an image is treated as the SKU.

Existing Media Gallery Repair
If the images are already in your Media Library but only one image was assigned to each WooCommerce product:
- Go to Tools > Neelbyte Image Catalog Importer.
- In “Repair existing WooCommerce galleries”, click “Scan Media Library”.
- Review the number of images, SKUs and matched products.
- Click “Repair & Build Complete Galleries”.
The repair process does not upload the images again. It reuses existing attachment IDs, preserves an existing featured image, adds missing images to the product gallery, and avoids duplicate gallery entries.
Security
Administrative actions require the manage_options capability and a WordPress nonce. ZIP entries are validated and unsafe traversal paths are rejected. Image contents are checked before imported attachments are created.
Privacy
Neelbyte Image Catalog Importer does not send media, product data, or usage information to an external service.
