This blog explains how the Magento2 Akeneo Connector enables you to export and then manage Image Roles from the Akeneo end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It allows you to export images and Image roles like Thumbnail, Base, and Small to Magento2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you will know:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The Image Role of magento2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Know about the visibility of the all-image role in magento2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Mapping of the Image & Image roll in magento2 Akeneo Connector.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Export the Image roll from Akeneo to magento2.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Image Role of Magento2:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In Magento 2, the concept of “image role” refers to the specific purpose or function that an image serves within the context of a product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Magento 2 enables users to assign different roles to the images associated with a product, thereby serving various purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These roles include the base image, small image, thumbnail image, and additional images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Know about the visibility of the all-image role in magento2.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Base Image:<\/strong> The base image is the primary image that represents the product. It is typically displayed prominently on the product page and in listings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Small Image:<\/strong> The small image is a smaller version of the base image. It is commonly used in product grids, such as category listings, where a smaller image size is preferable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Thumbnail Image:<\/strong> The thumbnail image is the smallest version of the product image. It is often used in thumbnail galleries, shopping carts, or other areas where a compact representation of the image is needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Additional Images:<\/strong> These are extra images associated with a product that provide additional views or details. They can be displayed in a product image gallery, allowing customers to view different angles, variations, or related images of the product.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      By assigning specific image roles to the images of a product in Magento 2, then you can control how they are displayed in various areas of your online store, providing a consistent and optimized user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Mapping of the Image & Image roll in magento2 Akeneo Connector<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      After that, the image role mapping is visible below in the attribute mapping section. This is part of the OTHER MAPPINGS of the attribute mapping section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"image-66\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      After that, the images will be exported on behalf of this mapping, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Then you can export product images, video images, Image alts, and image roles of products, product models, and product variants via this mapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"image-68\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Also, you can check this mapping on the magento2 Akeneo connector demo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Export the Image roll from Akeneo to magento2.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      After that, you can export product images by any product export job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Then check the product images at the magento2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"image-69\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      After that here you can see all the Image roles are assigned to a single Image this is happening because we are given all roles to the model picture attribute in the above Image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can export different image attributes for exporting the different image roles for particular images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"image-70\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      As you can see we assign a small role to the picture attribute so the exported result is updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"image-71\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      For exporting variant product Images You need to add the variant image attribute at the variant Asix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
