The AltText.ai app for Contentful CMS lets you add alt text to your images with the click of a button.
Installation
- Go to our listing on the Contentful Marketplace.
- Click the Install Now button to add it to your Contentful space.
Setup
- When you first install the app, you will be prompted to enter your AltText.ai API Key.
- Get your API Key by logging into your AltText.ai account, then go to Account: API Keys.
- Copy an existing API Key, or just create a new one to use. Paste it into the Contentful app settings.
The app will also create a new content model called ImageWithAltText. This model contains an image,
plus a text field for alt text. You'll use this whenever you need alt text generated for an image in your system.
Note
The Contentful app also syncs generated alt text into the image's native Description field.

Click the Generate Alt Text button, and ... boom! You have alt text for your image.
