Input

Content
Photo of a navy leather messenger bag with brass buckles, shown on a wooden desk next to a laptop
Target Audience
professionals shopping for work bags
Tone
professional

Output (excerpt)

Alt text: "Navy blue leather messenger bag with brass buckles resting on a wooden desk beside a silver laptop." Concise (under 125 chars), describes color, material, hardware, and context without keyword stuffing. Variant for a listing thumbnail: "Navy leather work messenger bag, front view."

Alt text for a blog infographic

A blogger makes a data-rich infographic accessible and indexable in one short, accurate description.

See input + output preview

Input

Content
Infographic showing five steps to start composting at home, with icons for collecting scraps, choosing a bin, layering, turning, and harvesting
Target Audience
home gardeners and beginners
Tone
friendly

Output (excerpt)

Alt text: "Infographic: 5 steps to start home composting — collect food scraps, choose a bin, layer greens and browns, turn the pile, and harvest finished compost." Captures the data and sequence so non-visual readers get the same takeaway. Tip: place the full step-by-step text near the image too, since long infographics benefit from an in-body summary as well as alt text.

Alt text for a decorative hero banner

A freelancer correctly handles alt text for a hero image that contains baked-in headline text.

See input + output preview

Input

Content
Wide hero banner of a sunrise over mountains with the headline 'Plan Your Next Adventure' overlaid
Target Audience
travel website visitors
Tone
friendly

Output (excerpt)

Alt text: "Sunrise over a mountain range with the headline 'Plan Your Next Adventure.'" Because the headline text is part of the image, include it so screen-reader users hear the call to action. If the same headline already appears as real HTML text nearby, mark the image decorative (alt="") instead to avoid duplication. Keep it under ~125 characters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Alt Text Generator output?

It produces the text that goes inside an image's alt attribute: a short, descriptive phrase conveying what the image shows and why it matters on the page. You can paste it straight into your HTML or CMS image field.

How does it know what's in my image?

You describe the image and its context in the prompt, the tool then turns that into clean, properly phrased alt text. The richer your description of the subject and the page context, the more accurate and useful the result.

What makes alt text WCAG-compliant?

Good alt text describes the image's meaning and function concisely, avoids redundant phrases like "image of," and leaves purely decorative images with empty alt text. The generator follows these conventions so screen-reader users get a clear, non-repetitive experience.

How long should alt text be?

Keep it concise, typically a short sentence. Screen readers read the whole string aloud, so overly long alt text becomes tedious. The tool aims for a focused description rather than a paragraph; put extra detail in surrounding captions instead.

Does alt text actually help SEO?

Yes, modestly. Search engines use alt text to understand images, which helps them surface in image search and adds relevance context to the page. It's an accessibility feature first, with image-SEO as a genuine secondary benefit.

Should every image get alt text?

Functional and informative images need it; purely decorative images should have an empty alt attribute (alt="") so screen readers skip them. Describe the image's role in your prompt and the tool will phrase it appropriately.

Is it free to use?

Yes, 5 free generations per day with no signup, and unlimited use on Pro for $19/month.
