Write alt text for your images
Every image on a site needs a description for people who cannot see it and for search engines. With dozens of images the work stalls; a drafted line gets it moving.
Steps
- Drop the images on "Alt text generator". The first time, the description model is fetched once into this browser.
- Choose the language and press "Describe". A one- or two-sentence alt text appears.
- Read the draft and add what only you know: names, products, context.
- Copy it into your HTML or CMS. To describe many images at once, use a Pass.
Questions
- Is the AI description accurate?
- It is good at what is in the picture in general terms, and it does not know names of people or products. Treat it as a draft that a person reads and corrects.
- Are the images uploaded?
- No. The describing model runs inside your browser; press "Network" in the bar to see for yourself.
Pictures are never sent anywhere; everything runs in this browser.
