Amazon Image Manager Now Lets Sellers View and Delete Country-Specific Product Images
In early 2024 Amazon upgraded Image Manager in Seller Central with a “Country‑Specific Images” tab, letting sellers view and delete marketplace‑only photos via a trash‑can icon. The feature is auto‑enabled for all accounts and separates global from localized assets, cutting audit time from hours to minutes.
Overview
Amazon has upgraded the Image Manager in Seller Central, enabling sellers to view and delete images that are assigned to individual marketplaces. The feature, launched in early 2024, separates globally shared visuals from country‑specific assets, giving sellers a single interface to keep their photo libraries accurate across all Amazon sites. International sellers benefit from faster edits, reduced reliance on bulk feeds, and lower risk of outdated or non‑compliant images hurting conversion rates.
Key Points
- Separate image sections — Global pictures are grouped under a “Global Images” tab, while each marketplace (e.g., France, Japan) has its own “Country‑Specific Images” pane, making it instantly clear which photo appears where.
- One‑click deletion of localized assets — A trash‑can icon appears on every country‑specific thumbnail, allowing sellers to erase a single marketplace image without affecting the global set or other regions.
- Unified workflow in a single tool — Uploading, reviewing, and deleting images all occur inside Image Manager, eliminating the need to jump between the main catalog, advertising console, or external feed editors.
- Automatic activation for all accounts — The new view is enabled by default for every Seller Central user; there is no separate opt‑in, subscription, or additional configuration step required.
- Simplified compliance verification – By isolating marketplace‑only images, sellers can quickly confirm that region‑required labels—such as German safety warnings or French energy‑efficiency marks—are present and up to date.
- Time savings for multi‑market sellers — Accounts that list on five or more Amazon sites can now audit an entire image portfolio in minutes rather than hours, freeing resources for inventory or advertising tasks.
How Image Manager Works
- Open the tool — Log into Seller Central, choose Advertising → Image Manager, and select any ASIN. The screen now shows two top‑level tabs: Global Images and . For example, a UK‑based seller reviewing a portable blender will see the default product shot under Global, while a German‑market infographic appears under the Germany tab.
Analysis & Recommendations
Why This Matters
International sellers can now remove outdated or non‑compliant images from a single marketplace in seconds, avoiding the previous 3‑4 hour flat‑file process for a 5‑market portfolio. This reduces risk of compliance warnings and improves conversion by keeping each market’s visuals current.
