I am working on adding the image:url tags inside the loc tag in our sitemaps. The documentation from Google says I can include up to 1000, image:url inside a loc tag.

There is no mention if this 1000 per loc is counted towards the 50,000 URL per sitemap file limit. Does anyone have any reference to any official documentation regarding this? my research did not yield any official response.

Don't forget that there is also a 50MB limit to the uncompressed sitemap size. If each of your 50,000 pages had 1,000 images and each image entry in your sitemap were 50 bytes, your entire sitemap would end up being about 2GB. Clearly that is too large. Even including about 20 images per page would put you right about at the 50MB limit.

I can't find any documentation that specifically addresses this question, but it seems prudent to be on the safe side and limit your sitemaps to 50,000 URLs of any type, pages or images.
