Main features:
- Bulk image upload and ZIP import
- Custom columns for metadata
- Grid and spreadsheet-style table views

If you are looking at an alternative to insert images in Google Sheets give our Catalogs feature a try.Â
Comparison
Visual Catalogs vs Google Sheets
Spreadsheets are useful for data, but images are often awkward, slow, and hard to review.
Visual Catalogs make images the center of the workflow while keeping the structure of rows and columns.
Visual Catalogs vs DAM Software
DAM software can be powerful, but it is often too much for teams that simply need image catalogs with metadata, sharing, and exports. Visual Catalogs are lighter, faster, and easier to adopt.
Visual Catalogs vs Shared Folders
Folders store files, but they do not track status, notes, dates, SKUs, owners, or client-ready views. Visual Catalogs keep files and context together.
Use cases:
- Product catalogs
- SKU image libraries
- Seasonal collection planning
- Wholesale line sheets
- Product launch checklists
- Marketplace listing preparation
Features
Upload Images in Bulk
Drag in images, select multiple files, or upload a ZIP. Visual Catalogs create rows for your images and keep everything organized in one place.
Add Custom Columns
Track the fields that matter to your workflow: name, SKU, status, notes, owner, date, URL, category, condition, or anything else.
Switch Between Grid and Table Views
Use grid view when you need to inspect images quickly. Use table view when you need spreadsheet-style editing and structured metadata.
Share a Read-Only Link
Send a catalog to clients, teammates, vendors, or partners without giving them edit access.
Export to Excel and PDF with Images
Download an XLSX/PDF file that includes embedded image objects alongside your catalog data.
Control Image Display
Choose image size, aspect ratio, and fit mode so catalogs look consistent across products, assets, or project records.
