About this plugin
IMG Alt Gen Pro is a bulk alt text generator for WordPress and WooCommerce. It helps site owners, agencies, publishers, and online stores generate descriptive image alt text across media libraries, blog content, featured images, and product galleries without editing every image by hand.
Use it to generate alt text for individual images or process batches in bulk from a dedicated admin area. The plugin can optionally use context from posts, products, and supported SEO plugins to improve the relevance of generated alt text.
This is especially useful for:
-
Large WordPress media libraries
-
WooCommerce stores with many product images
-
Agencies cleaning up client sites
-
Publishers and bloggers with years of uploaded content
-
Accessibility and SEO workflows that need a practical bulk fix
IMG Alt Gen Pro connects your WordPress site to the IMG Alt Gen hosted service. An IMG Alt Gen account with tokens is required to generate alt text. The plugin itself runs in WordPress, but the alt text generation is performed by the IMG Alt Gen service.

How it works
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Link your WordPress site to your IMG Alt Gen account using a secure token.
- Choose individual images or batches to process from the Media Library tools.
- The plugin sends the required image and context data to the IMG Alt Gen API.
- Generated alt text is written back to the standard WordPress _wp_attachment_image_alt field.
External service requirement
IMG Alt Gen Pro is not a standalone alt text generator. It is a WordPress interface for the IMG Alt Gen hosted service.
An IMG Alt Gen account is required to generate alt text. Usage of the external service may involve token-based billing according to your IMG Alt Gen account.
If you do not want to use an external service for alt text generation, this plugin is not the right fit.
Data sent to the external service
No data is sent to IMG Alt Gen until:
- You link your site to an IMG Alt Gen account, and
- You explicitly trigger an action that requires the service, such as generating alt text or checking token/account status
When you run a generation task, the plugin may send:
- The image URL and or image bytes
- Attachment title and basic image metadata
- Related post or product context, where available
- Optional SEO context, if enabled in the plugin settings
Examples of optional context include:
- Post or product title
- Categories or tags
- Product information from WooCommerce
- Supported SEO plugin fields such as metadata or focus keyphrases
