You just need to create one root file and paste below code in that file and run file in browser OR you can create one custom module and apply this code for one image assign to multiple products.

This code help to you.

<?php
ini_set('memory_limit', '512M');
set_time_limit(0);
require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';
$bootstrap     = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);
$objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();
$appState = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\App\State');
$appState->setAreaCode('frontend');
$dir = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\Filesystem\DirectoryList');

$productCollectionFactory = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\CollectionFactory');
$collection = $productCollectionFactory->create();
$imagePath = $dir->getPath('media')."/yourimage.jpg"; // Your image should be on pub/media path
$imageType = ['image', 'small_image', 'thumbnail'];

if($collection->getSize()) {
    foreach ($collection as $product) {
        if($product->getId()) {
            if(file_exists($imagePath)) {
                $product = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load($product->getId());
                $product->addImageToMediaGallery($imagePath, $imageType, false, false);
                $product->save();
            }
        }
    }
}
