## Export

Exporting images is easy. Just use the [filter functionality](/user-portal/pim/product-search) to find the products that where you want to export images and then select **Tools > Export files and images**

## Import

Import images are done at **Integrations > Import** and select **Product Images/files**

An import file should be in Microsoft Excel format (xslx) and contain the following fields.

| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
|  --- | --- |
| PartNo | The Part number of the product to where the file should be connected |
| CultureCode | The language code used for *Name* and *Description* |
| Url | The Url to where the image can be downloaded. (Must be publicly accessible) |
| Name | The name of the file |
| Description | The description of the image |
| Code | The identifier of the image or file. If empty Norce will create one |
| TypeCode | The code to the [file type](/user-portal/pim/images-and-files#file-types) |
| IsVariantUnique | If true the file will be attached to the specific variant. If false it will be connected on a product level (all variants) |
| AltText | Alternative text for the image, only allowed for image types, not files types |


Once the file is loaded two options are presented:

- **Add or update files and images** - no files or images will be removed from the products specified in the file
- **Replace files and images, missing will be removed** - all images tied to the products specified in the file will be deleted
