Naming Guidelines

Here is an example file name with the components labeled.

Additional parameters:

  • Image file names must be unique.
  • Not all components are required, but all file names must have an item identifier, file extension, and one additional component.
  • Add .default to a file name before the file extension to make it the default image for that item. The default displays in search results and is first displayed on the product details page.

Example: OM5447_media-blue-01.default.jpg

  • The file name can contain additional descriptive components which do not affect the display or association of the image.

Example: OM5447_media-blue-01-mens-jacket.jpg

Descriptive components must come after the functional components in the file name.
