Photos for Ozon cards via API
Ozon photo upload in Solistra updates product images through the Ozon Seller API with a Client-Id and Api-Key, or through a category template without keys. Solistra changes images only, checks the upload status and keeps the previous set for rollback.

Connect OzonWhat Solistra does with Ozon
Solistra works with Ozon directly through the seller API. You connect your account, find products and send new photos from Photo Studio, generation or your own uploads. The same photos can go to Wildberries cards too if you sell on both marketplaces.
- Account connection with Client-Id and Api-Key
- Product search by seller SKU offer_id or by Ozon SKU
- Three modes · replace all, append, replace main only
- Upload status for every product
- History of previous photos and rollback
- A category template route without keys
How to connect an Ozon account
API access needs two values from the API settings in the Ozon seller account: the Client-Id and an Api-Key. Create a separate key for Solistra and give it a role that allows product management.
In Solistra open Cards, add an Ozon account, paste the Client-Id and Api-Key and click Check. The check runs a safe read request and changes nothing in your store.
offer_id and SKU
An Ozon product has your seller SKU, called offer_id in the API, and an SKU number assigned by the marketplace. You can search by either. Solistra shows the current product images next to the set you are about to send.
The first photo in the list becomes the main one, the rest are additional. Reorder by dragging.
How photos get to Ozon
Ozon accepts product images as links. Solistra stores each photo in Russia, strips EXIF and gives the marketplace a permanent HTTPS link with an unguessable address. Ozon downloads the file from that link.
Before writing, Solistra reads the current images and builds the final list for the chosen mode, so append and replace main only never lose existing photos.
Upload status and read back
Ozon processes images with a delay, so Solistra asks the marketplace for the status of every product and shows it: sent, accepted or failed with a reason.
Once the upload is done, Solistra reads the product back and compares the images with what was sent. Success is shown only after that check. The previous set stays in history and comes back in one click.
Category template route without keys
If you would rather not connect the API, download an empty template for your category in the Ozon seller account and upload it to Solistra with your photos. The service fills the Template sheet: the first photo goes to the main photo link column, the rest to the additional photos column.
Everything else in the file stays as it was. Solistra rejects a template that already lists products, so your catalog is never overwritten. You get the filled template, a photo archive, a check report and a list of links.
A partly ready status clearly shows missing photos and mismatches with the reference lists. A ready file does not mean Ozon will approve it.
Ozon photo requirements
Check formats, resolution, file size and aspect ratio for Ozon images in the seller knowledge base in your account, since they vary by category and change over time. Solistra prepares photos in the 3:4 card format and resizes them for the marketplace in one click.
If a person appears in the photo, such as a model wearing your clothing, you need their consent to use the image. That comes from the Russian Civil Code, not only from marketplace rules.
Keys and data
The Client-Id and Api-Key are stored encrypted on a server in Russia and never reach the browser, logs or API responses. Requests to Ozon go directly from Russia with no foreign servers in between. Disconnecting the account deletes the key.
Russian personal data law requires data of Russian citizens to be kept in databases inside the country. The Solistra database, files and backups are in Russia. Solistra does not change prices, stock, descriptions, attributes or orders.
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to connect Ozon?
A Client-Id and Api-Key from the API settings in the seller account. A role for product management is enough.
Can I search by SKU?
Yes. Search works by seller SKU offer_id and by Ozon SKU.
Why is the status not instant?
Ozon downloads images from links with a delay. Solistra asks for the status and shows the result for each product once the marketplace returns it.
Can I do it without the API?
Yes. Upload an empty Ozon category template and your photos, and Solistra returns the filled template, a photo archive and a check report.
Will Solistra change prices or stock?
No. Solistra changes product images only.
What are the Ozon photo requirements?
See the current requirements in the Ozon seller knowledge base in your account, they depend on the category. Solistra prepares photos in 3:4.
