configurable product images show all as simple prodacts

[decornmore]

Hi,

I am changing from a simple product to configurable product .

How can I achieve all images are loaded every time and not when i select different color? 

how i can use the images that are already in the "simple proedact" and not the " assign variantion"

Hello @decornmore 

For simple products to configurable you can do 

https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/160897/how-can-i-assign-an-existing-simple-product-to-a-...

But the image thing, you are asking, doesn't seem to be possible at least in Default Magento 2.

Because in configurable products, all the images it shows from default configurable at the time of load, and changes when you select the variation according to associate products.

if i have only 3 variations mean i can add only 3 images? what if i have 6 images how i can make it to show all 6 images?

@decornmore Magento doesn't provide any default feature for this.

The images will be changed when you select the variations.

If you have to pre load the simple product images then either you have to do customisation or you can use some extension for the same.

Thanks
