AI Alt Text Generator
Generate alt text for images using OpenAI's vision API. Upload an image, enter your API key, and get a concise, WCAG-compliant alt text suggestion. Your API key is used directly from your browser and never sent to our server. Always review AI-generated text before publishing.
Why This Matters
Writing alt text manually doesn't scale — most websites have hundreds or thousands of images. AI alt text generation helps bridge this gap by producing descriptive, context-aware text alternatives. It supports 30+ languages and batch processing. Always review AI-generated content before publishing.
