Answer 1

Below code working fine for me to remove Image Magento 2.

Using Product ID:

$product = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load($productNewId);
$imageProcessor = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Gallery\Processor');
$images = $product->getMediaGalleryImages();
foreach($images as $child){
 $imageProcessor->removeImage($product, $child->getFile());
} 

Hope it helps to you

• leedch: You shouldn't use ObjectManager... apart from that, your code is good.
• TTech IT Solutions: this gives me integrity constraint violations
• Nimesh Patel: Not working for disable images
• Jaisa: Did you fixed integrity constraint violations

Answer 2

We can use \Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductFactory to get media gallery. We also need to declare the \Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductRepositoryInterface class which helps us to save the existing product.

We can use Object Manager directly, however, this way isn't good. It's better that we should inject these class in the constructor.

/**@var \Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductFactory **/
protected $product;
/**@var \Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductRepositoryInterface **/
protected $productRepository;
public function __construct(
 ......
 \Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductFactory $product,
 \Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductRepositoryInterface $productRepository
 ......
)
{
 $this->product = $product;
 $this->productRepository = $productRepository;
}

In your custom method:

//Product id
$productId = 12;
$product = $this->product->create();
$existingMediaGalleryEntries = $product->load($productId)->getMediaGalleryEntries();
foreach ($existingMediaGalleryEntries as $key => $entry) {
 //We can add your condition here
 unset($existingMediaGalleryEntries[$key]);
}
$product->setMediaGalleryEntries($existingMediaGalleryEntries);
$this->productRepository->save($product);

Should take a look at the Unit test:

--vendor/magento/module-catalog/Test/Unit/Model/ProductTest.php
--vendor/magento/module-catalog/Test/Unit/Model/ProductRepositoryTest.php
--vendor/magento/module-catalog/Test/Unit/Model/Product/Gallery/GalleryManagementTest.php

• ND17: using this code when i add other base image programmatically that image is not set as base image so how to remove all base,thumbnail,small image ?
• Khoa Truong: @ND17 you want to remove all base, thumbnail, small images? My code above cannot help you anymore?
• ND17: your code is remove all images but when i try to save other image as base image, it is not set as base image and if i remove all images and save same image which i am removing than that image is set as base image
• ND17: this is happens beacuse cache folder is exist in media\catalog\product
• Sujeet Pandit: @KhoaTruongDinh i tried above solution but it fires constraint exception?

Answer 3

For me it finally worked based on this article: https://www.mageplaza.com/devdocs/add-images-to-product-programmatically-magento-2.html

 $gallery = $_product->getMediaGalleryImages();
 if (count($gallery) > 0) {
 foreach($gallery as $image){
 $this->productGallery->deleteGallery($image->getValueId());
 }
 $_product->setMediaGalleryEntries([]);
 $_product->save();
 }

Where productGallery is an instance of \Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Gallery

I hope it helps someone

• Luis: Thanks, only your code works after hours of search!! =)
• harri: Yeah saved me a bit of manual labour there!
• Stefan Teunissen: This should be the accepted answer.

There is all the other code you have to write but when it comes to removing images specifically this solution worked for me. Tested on M2.4.3.

private $gallery_rm
 
public function __construct(
 \Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Gallery $gallery_rm
) {
 $this->gallery_rm = $gallery_rm;
}
public function removeImagesFromProduct($product_object) {
 // get all images from product object
 $media_gallery_entries = $product_object->getMediaGalleryEntries();
 foreach($media_gallery_entries as $product_img) {
 $this->gallery_rm->deleteGallery($product_img->getId());
 }
}

• Bafi: You saved my day. Many thanks. By doing so, you avoided having to save the entire product, which takes a lot of time
• Alan: @Bafi you're welcome. I'm glad it helped.

Answer 5

I was working on similar task, I am sharing my code, hope it would help others too.

Fist initialization in constructor

protected $productModel;
protected $imageProcessor;
public function __construct(
 ...
 \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product $productModel,
 \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Gallery\Processor $imageProcessor,
 ...
)
{
 ...
 $this->productModel = $productModel;
 $this->imageProcessor = $imageProcessor;
 ...
}

Now you can use it in your function

$product = $this->productModel->load($productId);
$gallery = $product->getMediaGalleryImages();
foreach($gallery as $image){
 $this->imageProcessor->removeImage($product,$image->getFile());
}
$product->save();

This should work

run below script for remove images from all products

 <?php
 error_reporting(1);
 ini_set('max_execution_time', 0);
 use \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;
 require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';
 $bootstrap = Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);
 $objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();
 $instance = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
 $storeManager = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
 $state = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\App\State');
 
 $state->setAreaCode('frontend');
 $productcollection = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Collection'); 
 //$productcollection->addAttributeToFilter('type_id', array('eq' => 'simple'));
 //$productcollection->addAttributeToFilter('status', array('eq' => '1'));
 //$productcollection->addAttributeToFilter('visibility', array('eq' => '4'));
 if(count($productcollection)){
 $i=0;
 foreach($productcollection as $productdata){ 
 $product = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load($productdata->getEntityId());
 $productRepo = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductRepositoryInterface');
 $exiMediaGallery = $product->getMediaGalleryEntries();
 
 foreach ($exiMediaGallery as $key => $val) {
 unset($exiMediaGallery [$key]);
 }
 $product->setMediaGalleryEntries($exiMediaGallery);
 $productRepo->save($product);
 echo "\n".$product->getSku()."....".$i;
 $i++;
 }
 }else{
 echo 'No Product Found';
 }
 
 ?>
