You can use import tool. it is in System -> Data -> Import /export

You can try to export first to get familiar with the format.

but, if i will do this this will be upload the images of items ? or i need to upload the images manualy and give them a name?

[ygalbrami]

i do that but i have a problem, when i open this i see a lot of columns
it's there any way that Each product will be in single line?

[abantecart]

Yes. Each product is a single line.

About images. You can use import for images too. Images go to resource library first It can be still done in one step process.

What is a meaning of big mess? Too many columns. This is correct.
You can reduce data if you reduce number of related tables in your import/export.

I have a lot of columns more than 100 this is not normal.

I think we need to take this question off the forum, since it is not particularly clear to anyone what issue you experience.
