Images in “Unknown Status”
Hey there. Brand new seller using seller central to see my printed books. I am approved for Brand registry and setting things up
I’m seeing images uploaded remaining in “Unknown status”. I have double checked that the images confirm to requirements.
Are all images either accepted or rejected? I did read that the ai sometimes just decides to not use an image for a number of factors In this case is the image explicitly rejected or does it just remain in “Unknown status” and sometimes it shows up and sometimes not?
Also, Amazon had added my book via ISBN some time back so they own the main ASIN and main image, but I made a sku and I’m hoping to add more images. If I have a sku of a product that is managed by another seller, will my images ever be considered?
Thanks in advance!

Amazon Customization – Custom Text Font with outline border in the live preview?
Is it possible to set up a custom product so that when shoppers enter their custom text in the customizer, the preview image will show them their text on the item will have an outline color on it?
I want the custom text to be gold with a black outline.
I can’t figure out how to do this, or if it is even possible. Is it possible?

Amazon Image Manager: The 1-Click Feature That Saves Sellers 100+ Hours
The 5-Minute Fix for Variation Image NightmareÂ
The Problem:
Manually uploading images to every individual product variation (color, size, style, etc.) is incredibly time-consuming and often leads to errors that cause suppressions.
The Solution:
Amazon’s new “Copy media set to sibling products” feature inside Image Manager lets you upload images once and instantly propagate them across all related variations.
The Path:
Go to Seller Central → Catalog → Upload Images → Select ASIN → Copy media set to siblings.
The Result:
Instant image consistency across every variation — saving hours of manual work, eliminating mismatched images, and reducing the risk of listing suppressions.
The Time-Wasting Task Amazon Just Solved
Let’s talk about the real cost of selling on Amazon.
It’s not the fees. It’s not the PPC. It’s the time-consuming, repetitive tasks that bleed your time and kill your profit margins.
You know the one. You’ve just sourced the perfect product. You’ve got five sizes and four colors. That’s 20 variations. You have your beautiful, high-converting image set ready to go.
Then the dread hits.
You have to upload those images 20 separate times. And if you miss one? If the blue shirt variation accidentally gets the image for the red shirt? BAM. Suppressed listing. Lost sales. Customer confusion.
If you’re spending more than five minutes per variation on image uploads, you’re not running a business; you’re running a data entry service. The biggest sellers—the ones pulling in seven and eight figures—don’t do this. They use systems and tools for catalog control. They automate the mundane so they can focus on the money-making moves.
For years, Amazon made this simple task a nightmare. But now, they’ve finally given you a piece of the control you deserve. This isn’t just a quality-of-life update. This is a foundational shift in how you manage your catalog.
Just as Seller Labs gives you clearer control over your advertising and profitability decisions, Amazon is finally giving you a smarter, more streamlined way to manage your product imagery.
The Feature Breakdown: The 1-Click Catalog Control Hack
The Old Way (Why it was a time sink):Â
You had to treat every single child ASIN as a completely separate entity. If you had 10 images for 10 variations, you were looking at 100 individual uploads. It was a recipe for inconsistency, wasted time, and the dreaded “mismatched image” suppression.
The New Way (The Hack):Â
Amazon has made a powerful feature available within the Image Manager that lets you propagate a full set of images—a “media set”—from one child ASIN to all its visually related siblings.
Here is the exact path to stop the madness:
1.Upload Once: Upload your full, perfect image set to the Parent ASIN or one of the Child ASINs.
2.Navigate: Go to Seller Central → Catalog → Upload Images.
3.Select: Search and select the ASIN that has the correct images.
4. Click “Copy media set to siblings.” (Note: If you don’t see this button, the feature may not be fully rolled out to your account yet. Check back regularly!)
BOOM.
Every related variation instantly inherits the exact same image set. No re-uploads. No mismatched images. No wasted hours.
This feature is designed to save you time and guarantee consistency. It works best for variations that share the same lifestyle, infographic, and video assets, but it can be used for any variation set.
The Big Seller Advantage: Why This Is a Catalog Control Upgrade
If you think this is just about saving a few clicks, you’re missing the point. This is a catalog control upgrade that allows you to scale like the big players.
1. Perfect Image Consistency (The Brand Win)
Mismatched images are a conversion killer. When a customer clicks on a variation and the images suddenly change, they lose trust. This feature guarantees that every single variation—from the main image to the lifestyle shots—is perfectly consistent. A consistent brand is a premium brand.
2. Faster Launches (The Speed Win)
In the Amazon game, speed is profit. Launching a new color or size used to be bottlenecked by the image team. Now, you can launch a new variation in minutes, not hours. The faster you get your product live, the faster you start collecting sales data and dominating the market.
3. Fewer Suppressions (The Safety Win)
Missing or incorrect images are a top reason for listing suppression. By using the “Copy to Sibling Products” feature, you eliminate the human error that leads to these costly suppressions. You are essentially creating a bulletproof image system for your variations.
4. Scaling Simplified (The Growth Win)
The more products you have, the more time this saves. If you plan to scale your catalog from 10 to 100 products, this feature is the foundational change that allows you to do it without hiring a full-time image manager. Your time is better spent on strategy, not uploads.
Advanced Tips: How the Pros Use This Feature
Don’t just use the feature; master it. Here’s how the top sellers are leveraging this update:
- Master the Parent/Child Relationship: Always upload the core lifestyle, infographic, and video assets to the Parent ASIN first. This ensures all children have a baseline set to pull from. Then, use the “Copy to Sibling” feature for the child-specific images (e.g., the color swatch image or the main image showing the specific variation). This ensures you maintain the correct main image for each color/size while standardizing the rest of the image gallery.
- Audit for Inconsistency: Use this feature as a clean-up tool. Run a quick audit on your top-selling variations. If you find one with a perfect image set, use the “Copy to Sibling” feature to instantly fix all the others. This is your one-click quality control button.
- The “Set and Forget” System: Integrate this step into your new product launch Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). It should be the final, non-negotiable step before setting your listing live. If it’s not in the SOP, it doesn’t exist. This is how the pros ensure zero image errors on launch day.
FAQ: Quick Answers to Your Burning Questions
Yes, but it works best for visually related products that share the same media set. Use caution for variations needing unique lifestyle imagery.
Seller Central → Catalog → Upload Images → Select ASIN → Copy media set to siblings.
Yes, it replaces the entire media set — so ensure the source ASIN is correct.
Amazon is rolling this out globally, but not all accounts have access yet.
The Real Secret to Catalog Control
You just saved yourself 100 hours of manual image uploading. That’s fantastic.
But what are you going to do with that time?
The biggest sellers don’t just save time; they use that time to make smarter decisions. This image hack saves you time, but what about the profit you’re losing on bad ads, or the time you waste on manual data analysis?
Amazon gives you the tools, but they don’t give you the strategy or the oversight.
Seller Labs provides SKU profitability analytics, Data Hub insights, advertising tools, and reporting automation designed to help sellers make smarter decisions with less manual work. It complements Amazon’s tools but does not control image management or automate Seller Central functions.

I was curious if the letter “N” after “LPN” stood for anything? I’ve seen “RR” and “PM” on other stickers too.
Love any info — thanks for the help decoding.
