Merchant Centre accepts up to five lifestyle images per product
Google has changed lifestyle_image_link from a single-value field to a repeated field, allowing merchants to submit up to 5 lifestyle images for each product. These images are designed for browsable surfaces where showing the product in a natural setting can provide more context than the main packshot.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means feeds can support a broader visual story, so prioritise stable, crawlable URLs and images that show the same product without introducing unsupported variants or claims.
