FAQ

Why does alt text matter?
Alt text serves two main purposes: it allows visually impaired users using screen readers to understand the image, and it helps search engines index the image for image search results.
Should every image have alt text?
Informative images must have alt text. Decorative images (like line dividers or background patterns) should have an empty alt attribute (alt="") so screen readers ignore them.
How long should alt text be?
Keep it under 125 characters, as most screen readers stop reading alt text after this point. Keep it concise.
Does it read my image files?
No. This tool helper does not upload files. You enter keyword descriptions, and it structures them into clean sentences locally.
Should I put keywords in alt text?
Yes, but only if they naturally describe the image. Do not force keywords where they do not fit.
