How to fix: Image not processed

No action needed. The image will be processed again within 3 days.

In this article


Reasons why the issue is happening

We encountered an unexpected error while processing your product images.

For each item, you must submit a single image link [image_link] URL. You may also add up to 10 additional image link [additional_image_link] URLs.


How to fix the issue

Ensure that your image URL links lead to a valid image (meaning, they should lead to an actual image and not to a web page). After you update the links, it may take up to 3 days to process the update.

If you change the image, but keep the same URL, it may take up to 6 weeks to detect and then crawl the new image. We recommend that you change the image filename and URL when you change the image. This ensures that the images will be checked as soon as possible, usually within 72 hours.
