How would I make an image sitemap for a site with 50k images?

Is it worth creating an image sitemap? I read an image sitemap can only have 1k entries would I need to make 50 different ones?

Its 1000 images per page. So you can have a sitemap with 50k urls and up to 1k images for each url.

Easiest way is to incorporate the images into the URL sitemap.

Is it worth it? If you have many images that are well optimized for specific target keywords, then yes. You can drive a lot of traffic from image search when optimized properly.

I was reading it as have a separate image sitemap thinking I needed 50 different sitemaps. This makes a lot more sense. Thank you.
