CatalogWash
Check Shopify CSV image URL errors before upload
Shopify imports product images from public URLs. CatalogWash extracts image links from your mapped CSV, flags suspicious values, and can run a browser or server-assisted link check before export.
What gets checked
Review missing Image Src values, invalid URL shapes, broken links, forbidden hosts, and links that could not be verified because a supplier host blocks automated checks.
Browser-first. No Shopify login required.
Frequently asked questions
Why do images fail during a Shopify CSV import?
Shopify downloads each Image Src URL at import time, so the link must be a public, direct https file URL ending in a real image. Common failures are http links, sharing-page links from Dropbox or Google Drive instead of direct file URLs, dead links, and hosts that block automated downloads.
How can I check all my image URLs before importing?
CatalogWash extracts every image link from your mapped CSV and checks them in your browser, with an optional server-assisted check for hosts that block browser requests. Each link is marked ok, broken, or unverifiable so you can fix problems before paying for export.
Does Shopify accept Dropbox or Google Drive image links?
Sharing-page links usually fail because they return an HTML page instead of the image file. Use direct file URLs on a public host or CDN. The CatalogWash health report flags Dropbox, Google Drive, and localhost links as suspicious so you can replace them, and the inline editor lets you paste a corrected URL per row.
