Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:11 pm

Assuming you have already logged into your WordPress account, the first thing you need to do is click on “WooCommerce” in the left-hand sidebar. This will take you to the main WooCommerce dashboard page.

From here, hover over the “Products” tab and click on “Add New” from the drop-down menu that appears. Doing so will take you to the “Add New Product” page.

From here, scroll down a bit until you see the “Product Images” section. The first thing you need to do is click on the “Add product image” button.

This will open up the WordPress media uploader popup. If you’ve never used this before, it allows you to upload files from your computer or select files that you’ve already uploaded to your WordPress site.

Once you’ve selected or uploaded the image(s) that you want to use for your product, make sure to click on the “Insert into post” button. Doing so will add the image(s) to your product and close the WordPress media uploader popup.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to import a product image into WooCommerce, please be aware that there are potential risks involved.

Firstly, please ensure that you have permission from the copyright holder to use the image. Otherwise, you could be infringing on someone’s intellectual property rights.

Secondly, be sure to check the image file format and size before uploading it into WooCommerce. If the file is not compatible with WooCommerce, it may not display correctly on your website.

Lastly, please remember that product images are often subject to different international laws and regulations. Be sure to check these before importing an image into WooCommerce to avoid any legal issues.

If you want to set a featured image for your product, scroll down a bit further on the “Add New Product” page until you see the “Featured Image” section. Here, you can click on the “Set product image” button to open up the WordPress media uploader popup again.

After selecting or uploading your featured image, make sure to click on the “Set product image” button in order to set it as your product’s featured image. You can also add a product gallery by clicking on the “Add product gallery images” button below the “Featured Image” section.

Conclusion: Adding images to your products in WooCommerce is pretty simple and straightforward. Just make sure to follow the instructions above and you should have no problem getting it done.
