When dealing with item images in Business Central, there are a few important considerations:

1. Image Formats:

   • Supported formats for item images include JPEG, PNG, GIF, and BMP ¹.
   • Ensure your images are in one of these formats to be compatible with Business Central.

2. Maximum File Size:

   • The maximum allowable file size for an item image is less than 4 MB ¹².
   • Keep your images within this size limit to avoid any issues during import.

3. Image Dimensions:

   • Images must have dimensions greater than 50 x 50 pixels ¹.
   • Make sure your images meet this requirement to ensure clarity and proper display.

Now, if you’re importing multiple item pictures, follow these steps:

1. Name Your Picture Files:

   • Rename each picture file according to the item number it corresponds to.
   • For example:
     • Item No. 1000 ➡️ 1000.bmp
     • Item No. 1001 ➡️ 1001.bmp
     • Item No. 1002 ➡️ 1002.bmp

2. Create a ZIP File:

   • Collect all the renamed files into a ZIP folder.
   • In Windows Explorer, select the files and choose “Send to” ➡️ “Compressed (zipped) folder.”

3. Import Item Pictures:

   • Navigate to Inventory Setup and choose the Import Item Pictures action.
   • In the Select a ZIP file field, pick the relevant ZIP folder and click Open.
   • A line will be created for each item and picture on the Import Item Pictures page.
   • Note:
     • If an item card already has a picture, the Picture Already Exists check box will be selected.
     • To prevent existing pictures from being replaced, deselect the Replace Pictures check box.
     • If you want to avoid replacing individual existing pictures, delete the relevant lines.
