Why my products' thumbnails haven’t been migrated to Shopware?

Why Are My Product Thumbnails Not Migrated to Shopware During Data Migration?

During a data migration to Shopware, product thumbnails are not automatically migrated by default. This is due to how Shopware handles image generation. Instead, you need to generate them within your Shopware store after the migration is complete.

For older versions of Shopware, like Shopware 5, you can generate thumbnails using the Thumbnail Generator. This tool allows you to create thumbnails from your original product images in configurable sizes.

In Shopware 6 and later, you can find the Thumbnail Settings in your admin panel. Simply activate the thumbnail generation for the desired products.
