Analyzing Images in Bulk with SheetXAI
Overview
SheetXAI now includes the ability to analyze and describe images directly in your Google Sheets. This powerful feature allows you to generate descriptive content for multiple images at once, saving you significant time and effort.
How to Analyze Images in Bulk
Step 1: Add Images to Your Spreadsheet
- Insert images into cells using one of these methods:
- Insert → Image → Image in cell (embedded images)
- Insert → Image → Google search (search for and insert images)
- Use image URLs in cells (recommended for easier processing)
Step 2: Use the Bulk Content Generator
- Open the SheetXAI sidebar
- Click the AI star icon to access the bulk content generator
- Specify where to place the descriptions (e.g., column B)
- Enter your prompt (e.g., "Describe this image in detail")
Step 3: Test and Generate
- SheetXAI will first show you a preview of one image description
- Review the example to ensure it meets your needs
- If satisfied, click the thumbs up button
- Click "Generate Content" to process all images
Step 4: Review Results
- SheetXAI will generate detailed descriptions for each image
- The process typically takes just seconds, even for multiple images
- If any images fail to process, you'll see an error message instead of loading indefinitely
Technical Notes
- Image Formats: Works with embedded images, image URLs, and Google-searched images
- Processing Time: May take longer for embedded images compared to image URLs
