Hello Magento Folks?,

Introduction:
Basically, Magento 2 generates different types of catalog images while creating some products from admin. e.g : small_image , thumbnail_image , base_image etc. It also generates some images with a cache folder too. But in some cases, many cache images are not generated e.g. while upgrading the Magento version, server transfer and especially use third party media storage. The reason is Magento 2 does not generate product page cache images while we are using third party media storage hence for that we need to run the resize command. But it is a very time-consuming process. And to overcome this problem here we have come up with an easy solution. You can regenerate catalog product cache images programmatically as per your need.
Steps to Regenerate Catalog Product Cache Images Programmatically:
Step 1: Firstly, we require to just update the gallery.phtml file at the following path,
vendor\magento\module-catalog\view\frontend\templates\product\view and add below code at the First line of file.

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance(); $resizeImage = $objectManager->get('\Magento\MediaStorage\Service\ImageResize'); $_product = $block->getProduct(); $galleryImages = $_product->getMediaGalleryImages(); if ($galleryImages) { foreach ($galleryImages as $image) { $resizeImage->resizeFromImageName($image->getFile()); } } |
Note: One can update the file path based on your theme.
Step 2: After that refresh the cache.
That’s It.
Over to you:
Hopefully, all have implemented successfully the above steps for Regenerate Catalog Product Cache Images Programmatically in Magento 2. But if you face any problems in this do write it in the comment section below. If you find the article helpful then share it with your Magento developer friends. Let’s meet in the next blog.
Happy Developing?
Thanks for this solution. It worked 100% fine on the product grid pages (PLP) but is not working to rebuild the cache when I load the PDP. We tried inserting the code not only on gallery.phtml but also in the theme under list.phtml and the latter didn’t help PDP.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Please confirm there is not any confliction with other code and you implement this on correct file.
I added the code on product detail page but it is only generating the image cache for main configurable product.
how to generate the cache images for the child products attached with the main prodcut
The code is for the current product only, so for child product you need to do more customizations.
Better to use this patch which is released with Magento 2.4.0.

Yes if you want to stop, then you can use those things, but here the blog is how to regenerate.
this works great at product detail page but not working in category page any idea?
by the way thanks
You need to put the same code on the list page phtml file.
If the product is opened many times, many cache images will be generated
