Add titles and descriptions with a spreadsheet

Upload a CSV or XLSX sheet with your artwork to supply titles, descriptions, tags, and store or product line choices for the batch.

Before you begin

  • Download the CSV or XLSX template from Copy and Data.
  • Use the artwork filename or filename stem in each row’s filename column.

How it works

ArtDrop matches each artwork to its spreadsheet row and uses the copy, tags, and destination you supplied. A matching JSON file takes priority when it supplies a different value.

Steps

  1. Fill in one row per artwork

    Use filename, title, description, seo_title, seo_description, alt_text, product_tags, store, and line as needed.

  2. Match your filenames

    A row named sunset.jpg or sunset can match sunset.jpg. Capitalization does not matter.

  3. Upload the sheet with the images

    Use the sheet for a batch you plan to publish now. For scheduled artwork, put individual instructions in matching JSON files.

  4. Check the listings

    Open the resulting products to check the copy, tags, and destinations.

Expected result

Each matching artwork uses the copy and destination supplied in its row.

Good to know

  • CSV and XLSX copy sheets are accepted. Each CSV or XLSX copy sheet is limited to 2 MiB. ArtDrop does not currently set a row-count or per-cell character limit. Save CSV files as UTF-8.
  • Use product_tags as the tag column name.
  • The store and line columns select one store and line. Use JSON for a per-image list of several stores.

Troubleshooting

  • A row was ignored? Check its filename against the artwork.
  • Tags are missing? Check the product_tags heading.

How to undo or clean up

Change the sheet for future uploads. Edit products already created in the storefront or provider.
