Image hosting for marketplace integrators
Img.vision gives permanent, direct image URLs that every marketplace your integrator pushes to will accept without failures.
Upload once, use the same URLs across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and every other channel.
No expiry, no redirects, no rejected listings.
What this page covers
Why feeds break across channels
When you sell through an marketplace integrator, your image URLs get sent to multiple marketplaces at once. Each marketplace crawls differently. eBay re-fetches images during syncs and buyer loads. Walmart retries aggressively during ingestion. Amazon validates formats strictly. A single hosting problem doesn’t just break one listing, it cascades across every channel your integrator connects to.
- ❌ URLs that expire or change after upload, breaking listings on every channel at once
- ❌ Rate-limited hosts that drop images when multiple marketplaces crawl at the same time
- ❌ Auto-conversions to WebP or AVIF that some marketplaces reject
- ❌ Redirects that browsers follow fine but marketplace crawlers silently reject
- ❌ Hosts that rename files, breaking CSV formulas and feed mappings across every channel
Marketplaces don’t always surface these errors. Listings go live without images, or feeds get partially rejected, and the integrator dashboard may not show which images failed or why.
What Img.vision does differently
Permanent direct URLs
No redirects, tokens, or expiry. The same URL works in every marketplace your integrator sends it to. Safe for CSV, API, and every feed format.
No throttling of marketplace crawlers
When Amazon, eBay, and Walmart crawl your images at the same time, the CDN handles all of them without rate limiting or blocking. Even during large catalog syncs and feed rebuilds.
Follows every marketplace’s image rules
Direct URLs, correct MIME types, stable file extensions, no forced format conversions. One set of images that passes validation on Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and others without per-marketplace adjustments.
Image archive
Archive images when products go seasonal or inactive, then restore without reuploading. The URL stays the same after restoring. 10x archived image limit included.

Why webshop and integrator hosting fail on marketplace feeds
The most common alternative to dedicated image hosting is using whatever your webshop or integrator already provides. Both create problems at scale.
Webshop CDNs (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento) are built to serve pages to shoppers, not to handle marketplace crawlers downloading thousands of images in bursts. They rate-limit bot traffic, which is exactly how marketplaces crawl. Some auto-convert images to WebP or AVIF for browser performance, which certain marketplaces reject. If your webshop goes down for maintenance, your marketplace listings lose images too.
Integrator-bundled hosting ties your image infrastructure to a single vendor. Switch integrators and your image URLs break across every channel. Some integrators use temporary or signed URLs that expire. Others limit storage or throttle delivery during peak feed windows.
Your image URLs should survive a tool switch. If you move from Rithum to ChannelEngine, or swap your webshop platform, the URLs your marketplaces already ingested need to keep working. That only happens when your image layer is independent from the rest of your stack.
