What WordPress Users Say
"This has saved me at least 150 hours! As a web design agency owner, this was a no-brainer. I had a client with 3,000 unoptimized images. We fixed the entire site in one afternoon."
Chris Cownden
Agency Owner
"Actually understands my products. I was worried AI would just write 'shoe' for everything. But it actually describes the color, the heel style, and even picks up my brand name."
Sarah Jenkins

WordPress Alt Text FAQs
FAQ
-
A WordPress auto alt text generator is a plugin that uses AI to automatically write descriptive alternative text for your images. This text is inserted into the 'Alternative Text' field in WordPress, which helps search engines understand your images and enables screen readers to describe them to visually impaired users.
-
No. Unlike other plugins that process images on your server, AltText.ai sends images to our cloud API for processing. This means zero impact on your site's frontend performance or server resources.
-
