According to Magento 2 dev guide on importing product images, we should be able to add additional images to the column additional_images using full URLs.

However, when I created an import csv file with the following example:

sku, additional_images

ExistingProdSKU1, http://someexistingwebsite.com/existingimage.jpg

I got a validation error for Column names: "additional_images " are invalid. I did not have any issue with base_image, small_image, and thumbnail_image, though. Have there been any changes on how we can import additional images to existing products on the catalog? Note that I'm currently running Magento 2.1.2.

It looks like there's an extra space after "additional_images " in your error. Try removing the space and uplaoding again.

If you're still getting the error, make sure you save your CSV as MS-DOS, and convert it to UTF-8.

Make sure your additional images to /pub/media/import and try adding the additional_images with just the image name in your CSV file, like /existingimage.jpg

I would add that image file names mustn't contain spaces and brackets ()
