It depends if you have the very high quality of images with the unique keyword targets so you can use image sitemaps. It's up to you. But its definitely be an SEO factor for your website ranking. For small sites, there are lots of free tools for generation image sitemap and for large websites, there are paid generators.I would like to prefer ScreamingFrog (paid) for large websites.

No, it's not strictly necessary to create an image sitemap for Google Image Search, but it can help your images get indexed faster and more accurately. To create one, you can add image details (like image URLs, captions, etc.) to your existing XML sitemap or create a separate image-specific sitemap. Just make sure the sitemap is submitted to Google Search Console for better visibility.
