Overview

About this plugin

AltTextLab automatically writes accurate, SEO-optimized and accessible alt text for every image in your WordPress media library – the moment you upload, or across your entire existing library in one bulk run.

Features

-

Automatic alt text on every upload

Every new upload gets alt text generated immediately, no manual trigger needed.

-

Bulk alt text generation for libraries of any size

Process your entire media library in one run — fill in only the images missing alt text, or regenerate alt text across your whole library.

-

Context-aware alt text

AltTextLab reads your post title and configured SEO keywords alongside each image, so every description is relevant to the content it appears in.

-

WooCommerce product data built into every alt text

AltTextLab reads your product name, brand, color, and material alongside each image to write descriptive alt text that serves both screen reader users, search engines, and LLMs.

-

SEO keywords for better search rankings

Specify your own target keywords, or let AltTextLab automatically pull your focus keyphrase from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, All in One SEO, The SEO Framework, SmartCrawl, or Squirrly SEO — either way, it’s woven naturally into every generated alt text. You can also exclude terms you don’t want used.

-

Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi and Beaver Builder compatibility

Alt text is written directly to WordPress’s standard media library database – the same field every page builder and theme reads from. There are no sync issues, no custom field mapping.

-

All major image formats supported

JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG, and AVIF, including modern formats that other tools often skip.

-

Multi-language support

Generate alt text automatically in over 130 languages. WPML Translation Support.

-

Writing style options for your brand voice

Pick the tone that fits your site, and optionally wrap every description with a fixed prefix or postfix, like a brand name or product line, so generated alt text sounds like your team wrote it.

-

Forever free plan available

AltTextLab has a permanent free plan that gives you 25 credits per month at no cost.

-

Accessibility compliance support

1 AA, ADA, Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act (EAA) all call for meaningful alt text on images. AltTextLab closes that gap automatically, giving your team one less item to chase during a compliance review.
