Magento2 Import – How to Import Product Images with External Image URL

Magento doesn't like importing files that are too large. You may be better off separating them into different files. Do 2000 at a time?

To upload images you need to create a separate Dataflow Profile. System > Import/Export > Dataflow – Profiles

Name it Image upload (or whatever you like) and map the sku & image fields. Also image labels if you want to do so.

Save the new profile.

The import image csv now need to be in a separate spreadsheet with only the columns that you have mapped (must have sku & images). For the images column include JUST the file name. No slash required. I.e image01.jpg

If product needs multiple images just duplicate the row with the same sku & put in the next images name.

FTP & go to your media folder and create new folder called import. Upload your images in there (make sure files have the same name!)

And upload like you did the products. Make sure under data format that Original Magento attributes in first row is set to No.

Using Magento's default Import or Dataflow Import doesn't allow you to download and assign an image via a CSV import. You'll either have to download the image and upload it to the server with the correct path in your CSV or you can look at a 3rd party tool like Magmi for importation.

Magmi's documentation is fairly solid and will allow you to download and assign a product an image via a CSV import.

Magmi's Documentation can be found here - http://wiki.magmi.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

I would also ensure that the link you're providing the image field is valid and displays the image when you access it in a browser, the one you have provided displays a page error/404.
