Steps to Process

To get started, navigate to Feed Image Optimization, click Create, enter your Batch name, and select the feed you want to modify.

Step 1. Choose Products

You can include specific products or define rules to select products for image optimization. If no specific rules are set, all products will be included.

Step 2. Schedule

- Start Date: Set the time when image optimization will begin.
- End Date: Define when the image optimization should stop.

Step 3. Add Action

There are six actions you can apply to the batch:



Google requires that the product image is a photo of the product that does not contain any other information such as logos, promotions, etc. Therefore, we highly recommend that you only use Crop and Resize action for Google Feed.

Crop

Adjust the product aspect ratio to fit requirements. Choose a fixed ratio or manually set a custom ratio.

At Fixed ratio, you can choose the frames that are available, as well as the focus point position of the images.



Or you can manually enter the aspect ratio you want at Custom ratio.



Resize

Modify the image size while maintaining quality. Choose resizing methods and background color styles.



Additionally, the Optimized with FeedHub feature allows for Affine Clamp optimization, which enhances the image’s edges for a professional look.

You can use this filter when you need to blur an image but you want to avoid a soft, black fringe along the edges.

For example





Add Pic

Add an overlay image such as a logo or icon. Customize size, opacity, style, and positioning.



Add Tag

Attach promotional tags like discounts to attract buyers. Choose from pre-made templates and customize their appearance.



Add Text

Overlay custom text for branding or promotional purposes. Adjust font, color, size, opacity, and placement.



Frame

Select from available frame templates to enhance product images. Customize frame mode and content.





You can remove any applied action by clicking the delete button next to it.

Step 4. Preview

Before saving, you can preview the adjusted images for advertisements and product listings. Click Save Batch to finalize the setup.



If adjustments are needed, click on the batch name to modify actions. Additionally, you can deactivate or delete a batch when it's no longer needed.

Managing and Updating Batches

Once a batch is created or edited, update the feed immediately by navigating to Feed Center, selecting the desired feed, and adjusting the update schedule.

For example:

If the feed updates every 3 hours and it's currently 03:49 PM, entering 03:50 PM in the settings will ensure an update at the next interval.



The Feed Image Optimization feature supports both primary and supplementary feeds.


The Feed Image Optimization feature is a powerful tool that streamlines bulk image editing, ensuring your product images meet platform-specific requirements efficiently. By leveraging batch processing, businesses can save time, maintain compliance, and enhance product presentation across multiple channels effortlessly.
