File naming convention

Also known as naming convention, filename template, filename structure. Category: E-commerce and workflow

A file naming convention is a rule for building image file names, typically from the product identifier, the view or angle and a sequence number. Consistent names let shops, PIM and DAM systems assign images to products automatically.

How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot Controls renames downloaded images automatically and exports them with configurable filename templates, so the same content can be delivered in different structures to different recipients.

  • Item export: PhotoRobot Controls function that exports items to local disk or cloud in chosen formats, sizes and file names.
  • SKU (stock keeping unit): A retailer's internal code for one distinct product variant.
  • GS1 image standards: GS1 guidelines for how product images are captured, named and exchanged in retail supply chains.
  • Export feed: A machine-readable XML or JSON list of items and image URLs that other systems read automatically.
