Hi @freshwebsite!
If you’d like to choose specific images for each category, there’s only an option to add each image manually in the category settings.
Since you mentioned that you have more than 5,000 categories, I assume you want to do that in bulk, so you’ll need some custom work on that or maybe consider using a plugin.
Here’s a tutorial on the WebToffee website explaining how to do this with their premium extension:

Also, found another extension that adds more flexibility to your category fields:

I can also recommend the WooCommerce Developer Resources Portal for resources on developing for WooCommerce.
You can also visit the WooCommerce Facebook group or the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack.
We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce, and many of our developers also hang out there.
My very best,
Hi there!
We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – we’ll be here if and/or when you are ready to continue.
