Does alt text get saved back to Google Drive?

Yes — generated alt text is written to each file's description field in Google Drive automatically. You can see it in the file details panel in Drive, and it stays with the image wherever it goes.

Can I select an entire folder, including subfolders?

Yes. The file picker lets you select individual images or entire folders. When you pick a folder, every image inside it gets processed — including images in nested subfolders. No need to navigate folder by folder.

Does it work with shared drives and shared folders?

Yes. The picker shows any file or folder you have access to, including shared drives and folders shared with you. As long as you have read access and can update file descriptions, the integration works.

What image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, and other common image formats. Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets are not supported — only image files.

How long does processing take?

It depends on image count and size, but typically several hundred images per minute. Processing runs in the background — you don't need to keep your browser open.

Can I export the results?

Yes. Once processing is complete, you can download a CSV with the filename and generated alt text for every image in the run — useful if you need to bring the descriptions into another system.

Select a Folder. Come Back When It's Done.

Pick a single image or an entire folder — the Google Picker handles both. When done, alt text is written back to each file's description in Drive. Your images and their descriptions live in the same place.

Whole Folders at Once

Select a folder and every image inside it gets processed automatically — including nested folders. No file-by-file clicking.

Written Back to Drive

Alt text is saved to each file's description in Google Drive. It stays with the image wherever it goes.

How It Works

Three steps from connection to alt text in Drive:

Connect Google Drive

Pick Images or Folders

The Google Picker opens inside AltText.ai. Select individual images, or pick a whole folder — subfolders are included automatically.

Alt Text Generated and Saved

Alt text is generated for every image and written back to each file in Drive. Check back when it's done — no need to stay in your browser.

Everything You Need, Nothing Extra

Built for teams who already organize their images in Drive:

Whole Folders, Not Just Files

Select a folder and every image inside it gets processed — including nested folders. Organize in Drive the way you already do; AltText.ai follows your structure.

Alt Text Stays With the Image

Generated alt text is saved to each file's description in Drive. It's there when a teammate opens the file, when you share a folder, when the image moves to another system.

No Setup Required

Connect with your Google account and you're in. The file picker opens inside AltText.ai — no configuration, no scripts, nothing to install.

130+ Languages

Generate alt text in any of 130+ languages. Set the language per run — useful for multilingual asset libraries or teams serving multiple markets.

AltText.ai vs. Adding Alt Text Manually in Drive

Doing It Manually

Open each image one by one in Drive
Write a description in the file details panel
No way to batch a folder at once
Hours of work for even a modest library

With AltText.ai

Select a folder — all images inside are processed
Alt text written back to Drive automatically
Nested folders handled without extra steps
Thousands of images done while you focus elsewhere

Who Uses This

Marketing Teams

Campaign images organized in Drive by brand, quarter, or project. Process an entire folder before a launch — alt text is ready when the images are.

Agencies

Deliver final image sets to clients with descriptions already in Drive. Clients get everything they need for web publishing without a separate handoff step.

Enterprise Product Teams

Product photography stored in shared Drives by product line. Process entire categories in bulk — alt text in Drive means downstream systems pick it up automatically.

Archives and Collections

Museums, libraries, and universities scanning historical images to Drive. Generate descriptions for thousands of files at once — alt text saved directly into Drive metadata.
