Shopify bulk file upload to assets

I wanted to upload my previous theme on shopify, which is a 401mb zip file. But the shopify only allows 50mb max upload. So I unzipped my theme, then moved away some files from their asset folder, making the theme lighter. Then rezipped it, and uploaded it.

Now, I have successfully uploaded the theme. I need to upload all 300+ images that were moved from their asset files back to the uploaded theme. How do I do a bulk upload on the assets?

    There is no actual bulk upload option for shopify.

    That said you can use themekit create a local instance of your theme and add the files in the asset folder and the themekit will start uploading each file separately in a queue.

    You can refer to https://shopify.github.io/themekit/

    In order for this to work you need:

    1. themekit added to your local machine
    2. create a private app in your store ( from the Apps screen there is
      private app option at the bottom Working with a developer on your
      shop? Manage private apps       )
    3. create a config.yml file in our local machine ( following this
      guide
      https://shopify.github.io/themekit/#configure-an-existing-theme )
    4. download your theme theme download
    5. start watching it theme watch
    6. paste your image files in the asset folder

    You can use Shopify’s Assets API to upload them, using a custom app or a tool like Themekit.

    You can use the product import and upload images as product images. Just make the product invisible and something convenient for the url for the assets you want to use. I was able to upload 50+ animated gifs this way using a google sheet and importing a product that I named "asset".
