Before you begin
Make sure you have installed Vast Product Image Exporter from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, you can open it from your Shopify admin under Apps > Vast Product Image Exporter.
Step 1: Open the dashboard
When you open the app, you will land on the main dashboard. This is where you configure and launch your exports. You will see sections for selecting products, choosing output settings, and viewing your export history.
Step 2: Choose which products to export
By default, the app is set to export All Products. This means every product in your store will be included.
If you only need images from certain products, you have two options:
- Use filters to narrow down by collection, vendor, product type, tags, status, or date range. See Filtering Products for Export for the full breakdown.
- Switch to Specific Products mode and hand pick exactly which products you want. See Choosing Specific Products for details.
As you adjust your selection, the app will show you a live count of how many products and images match your current filters.
Step 3: Configure file naming (optional)
The default file naming template is Product Title + Position, which names files like Blue-T-Shirt_1.jpg. If you need a different format, you can pick from several templates in the File Naming dropdown.
For a full explanation of each option, see Custom File Naming Options.
Step 4: Choose a folder structure (optional)
By default, all images are placed in a single flat folder inside the ZIP. If you prefer your images to be organized into subfolders, you can choose from:
- By Product
- By Collection
- By Vendor
- By Product Type
Learn more about each option in Folder Structure Options.
Step 5: Start the export
Once you are happy with your settings, click the Export Images button. The app will start processing your export in the background.
You will see a success message confirming the export has started.
Step 6: Wait for the email
The app downloads all your images from Shopify, organizes them according to your settings, and packages everything into a ZIP file. This usually takes a few minutes, depending on how many images you are exporting.
When the export is finished, you will receive an email with a download link. The link is valid for 24 hours.
You can also download completed exports directly from the Export History section on your dashboard.
Step 7: Download your ZIP
Click the download link in your email, or use the Download button in Export History. Your ZIP file will contain all the selected images, organized and named according to your settings.
What happens next?
You can run as many exports as you need. Each export appears in your Export History so you can always come back and re-download.
On the Free plan, you can export up to 100 images per month. If you need more, take a look at our Unlimited plan.
