What is an alt text generator?

An alt text generator creates descriptive text for images so screen readers and search engines can better understand visual content.

Can I upload product images directly?

Yes. This workflow is designed around product images, so you can start from the actual image and improve accuracy with optional context.

Can I use this for Shopify product images?

Yes. The tool is useful for Shopify product images, collection assets, and broader ecommerce catalog workflows.

Can I generate multilingual alt text?

Yes. You can generate alt text in the language that matches each storefront or market, which helps teams manage multilingual catalogs more efficiently.

How do I write SEO-friendly alt text?

Keep it concise, describe what is actually visible, and include product terms naturally only when they genuinely match the image.

Can I generate alt text in bulk?

Yes. The workflow is designed for catalog-scale operations so teams can review patterns and apply consistent alt text across many images faster.

What should I include in optional context?

Add only the details that improve accuracy, such as product type, color, material, angle, pack size, target market, or channel requirements.

Can I edit generated alt text before publishing?

Yes. Review and refine the output before applying it so the final text matches brand guidelines and channel-specific requirements.

Can this help with accessibility compliance?

It helps teams improve image description quality and remediate missing alt attributes faster, which supports accessibility readiness. It should not be treated as legal advice or a formal compliance guarantee.

Fashion

Tone used: 💼 Professional

Example: Studio product image

This pattern works for clean ecommerce pack shots where the goal is to describe the product, material, and standout visible details.

What to highlight

Start with the product type visible in the image.
Include color, material, or hardware only when they help identify the item.
Keep the sentence concise and easy for screen readers to parse.

What to avoid

Do not write promotional copy instead of describing the image.
Do not repeat keywords unnaturally for SEO.
Do not include details that are not actually visible.

Example product brief

Image context: black leather crossbody bag with gold chain strap on a white studio background

Example generated description

Beauty

Tone used: 💼 Professional

Example: Close-up product pack shot

Useful for bottles, jars, and tubes where pack format, color, and visible size help users and search engines understand the image.

What to highlight

Mention the visible container or packaging format.
Include size or variant only when it is shown in the image.
Prioritize the details that separate this SKU from similar ones.

What to avoid

Home

Tone used: 💼 Professional

Example: Lifestyle image with room context

Best for imagery that shows the product in use, where the room context helps clarify what is visible without turning into decoration-heavy text.

What to highlight

Describe the main product before the surrounding environment.
Use the room context only when it improves understanding of the image.
Keep focus on the visible object that matters to the user.

What to avoid

Footwear

Tone used: 💼 Professional

Example: Product image with angle detail

Helpful when the image highlights a specific product angle, such as side view, sole view, or detail shot.

What to highlight

Include the visible angle when it improves the description.
Name the footwear type and color first.
Use one sentence that reflects exactly what appears in the shot.

What to avoid
