About this plugin

AI Alt Text Generator for WordPress & WooCommerce ๐Ÿš€

AutoAlt.ai is an AI alt text generator for WordPress and WooCommerce. It analyzes image content and creates descriptive alt text, image titles, captions, descriptions and SEO-friendly filenames directly inside WordPress.

Generate alt text automatically when an image is uploaded, create it for one image on demand or use the bulk alt text generator for an existing Media Library. AutoAlt.ai also helps you find images with missing alt text, unusually short alt text and poor filenames, so you can work on the images that need attention.

Stop losing traffic AND risking fines. Every image without alt text costs you twice: lost Google Image Search visibility AND potential EAA fines (EU) or ADA lawsuits (USA).

AutoAlt generates SEO-optimized, accessible alt texts in seconds โ€“ fully WCAG 2.1 AA compliant.

Generate complete WordPress image metadata

AutoAlt.ai can generate more than alternative text. Create image titles, captions and descriptions for new or existing media.

For each metadata field, choose:

  • Generate โ€“ create new content with AI
  • Keep โ€“ preserve the existing value
  • Clear โ€“ remove the current value

These controls are available for alt text, title, caption and description, giving you more control during individual and bulk workflows.

AI image filename generation and bulk image renaming

Descriptive filenames can provide light additional context to search engines and make Media Libraries easier to manage. AutoAlt.ai can:

โœ” Generate an SEO-friendly filename from image content
โœ” Rename images automatically during upload
โœ” Bulk rename existing WordPress images
โœ” Detect poor, unclear or generic filenames
โœ” Keep a rename history
โœ” Undo supported filename changes

WooCommerce product image optimization

AutoAlt.ai supports WooCommerce product-image workflows. It can use the WooCommerce product name as additional context when generating content for product images and galleries. This helps the generated text describe the image in relation to the product instead of relying only on a generic visual summary.

SEO focus keyword integrations

Use focus keywords from supported WordPress SEO plugins as optional generation context:

โœ” Yoast SEO
โœ” Rank Math SEO
โœ” All in One SEO
โœ” SEOPress
โœ” The SEO Framework
โœ” SmartCrawl
โœ” Squirrly SEO

You can also add custom SEO keywords, exclude unwanted or negative keywords and add prefix or suffix text. Keywords should remain relevant to the image and page. AutoAlt.ai is designed to support useful descriptions, not keyword stuffing.

Control how the AI writes

Adapt generated metadata to your website and editorial requirements:

โžœ Custom AI prompts
โžœ Writing-tone selection
โžœ Minimum and maximum alt-text length
โžœ Custom SEO keywords
โžœ Negative keywords
โžœ Prefix and suffix text
โžœ Individual editing and regeneration
โžœ Generate, Keep and Clear controls

Multilingual alt text

Generate alt text and image metadata in more than 100 languages. AutoAlt.ai supports multilingual WordPress workflows with WPML and Polylang, making it suitable for international websites and WooCommerce stores.

Supported image formats

AutoAlt.ai supports:

โœ” JPG and JPEG
โœ” PNG
โœ” WebP
โœ” GIF
โœ” SVG
โœ” AVIF

History, filters and troubleshooting

โžœ Generation history with individual editing and regeneration
โžœ Rename history and Undo functionality
โžœ Attached-images-only filtering
โžœ Skip previously processed images
โžœ Error logging
โžœ Email notifications
โžœ Domain-secured API connection
โžœ Staging and live website support

Image SEO and accessibility workflows

Useful alt text can help screen-reader users understand informative images and can give search engines additional image context. AutoAlt.ai helps identify missing or short alt text and creates a useful first draft for review.

The correct text alternative depends on the image’s purpose and page context. Decorative images may need an empty alt attribute, functional images should describe their action, and complex charts or diagrams may need a longer human-written explanation. No plugin alone can guarantee WCAG, ADA, EAA, BFSG or other legal compliance.

External Services

AutoAlt.ai connects to the AutoAlt.ai API when a user requests generation, starts a bulk process or enables automatic generation during upload.

Depending on the enabled features, the plugin may send the image or image URL, selected language, generation settings, custom prompt, SEO keywords, negative keywords, prefix/suffix text and WooCommerce product context to the AutoAlt.ai service. The domain and API credentials are used to authenticate the connection and manage credits.

AutoAlt.ai uses OpenAI and Google Gemini for image analysis and text generation. According to the AutoAlt.ai Privacy Policy, EXIF metadata is removed before transmission; images are not permanently stored; images are not used for model training; and customer account identifiers, domains and filenames are not passed to the AI providers.

The service is required for AI generation. Existing WordPress metadata can still be viewed and edited without requesting generation.
