    Alt Text Generation FAQs

    Answers to common questions about accessibility and image SEO workflows.

    How long should alt text be?
    That depends on the product and channel, but the goal is to stay useful and descriptive. ButterflAI helps teams keep alt text concise without stripping away product context.
    Is this for SEO or accessibility?
    It supports both. The workflow is designed to prioritize useful descriptions for accessibility while also improving image SEO and discoverability without keyword stuffing.
    Can you reference variants like color or material?
    Yes. When that information is available in the product data or image context, ButterflAI can incorporate meaningful variant details such as color, material, or pack format.
    Can a human review the results before publishing?
    Yes. Review is a core step in the workflow, so teams can adjust edge cases and publish only approved alt text back to the catalog.
    Can I avoid keyword stuffing and keep alt text on-brand?
    Yes. You can apply rules and templates so the generated alt text stays useful, natural, and aligned to your brand voice.
    Can I skip decorative or low-priority images during a run?
    Yes. You can choose the exact set of images or products you want to process and leave the rest untouched.
    Does it support locale-specific guidance?
    Yes. Alt text can be generated and reviewed per locale so each market follows its own language rules.
