Bulk upload multiple images to the Catalog in a flash! (web and iOS)

Not all of us work with two-dimensional artworks. Most of the time, we need multiple images to convey various perspectives of one art object to our audiences.

Select multiple images by dragging your mouse cursor or by holding down the Shift key and clicking multiple images:
