Automatically Generate Alt Text for Images
Generate descriptive alt text for images in your HTML content automatically. This tool analyzes existing attributes and intelligently creates alt text based on available information, improving accessibility and SEO.
What is Alt Text?
Alt text (alternative text) is a description of an image that appears when the image cannot be displayed or when using screen readers. Good alt text is essential for:
- Accessibility - helping visually impaired users understand image content
- SEO - allowing search engines to understand image context
- User experience - providing context when images fail to load
How Does This Tool Work?
Our tool generates alt text by analyzing existing image attributes in this order:
- Name attribute - Often contains descriptive text about the image
- Title attribute - Usually provides a human-readable description
- Caption - If the image is within a figure element with a caption
- Filename - Used if it's descriptive (10+ characters)
The tool processes these attributes, cleans up the text by removing underscores and hyphens, and properly capitalizes words to create meaningful alt text.
Best Practices for Alt Text
While our tool automates alt text generation, consider these best practices:
- Keep alt text concise but descriptive (125 characters or less)
