Bulk Photo Upload

ARTICLE: Bulk Photo Upload

You can upload student and staff contact images in bulk using the Bulk Image Importer.


Requirements of Image Files

File Type Preference = JPG or PNG is preferable
Image Dimensions = Aspect Ratio of 1:1 (size 300px x 300px)
File Size limit = <2MB
File Naming Convention = 
Single Image Upload
When loading an individual photograph to a personal profile, via the Photo Tab, then you can use any file name convention you like.
Bulk Image Upload
This process often happens when first using Reach to load student data, or uploading new photos at the start of the year.
In this instance, the Users PK number from their personal profile must be used as the file name, then save the images as a zip file. When bulk uploading the zip file to Reach, the PK number file names will automatically connect the image to the User's profile when imported.
Before importing, the original image file names must be saved as the student/staff's ID number (SIS PK field)



How to access:    Data Management > Bulk Photo Upload


  • Drag and drop single or multiple images to the photo upload panel
  • Zip files will not load, you need to load the image files
  • The Photo Uploader will provide a list of images that will be allocated to students/staff based on their ID number (SIS PK field)
  • Ideal image size is a square image 300px x 300px

If the image filename doesn't match the PK number, you can select which contact to merge to photo with from the contact drop down menu.
