Image SEO & Accessibility

Well-written alt text improves image SEO and helps screen-reader users understand image content. AutoAlt.ai identifies missing or short alt text and generates high-quality AI-powered suggestions, making it faster to optimize large image libraries.

The best alt text depends on an image's purpose and page context. Decorative images may require empty alt text, functional images should describe their purpose, and complex visuals may need detailed human-written descriptions. AutoAlt.ai assists with creating high-quality drafts, but human review is recommended. Use of this plugin does not, by itself, guarantee compliance with WCAG, ADA, EAA, BFSG, or other accessibility regulations.

After connecting your AutoAlt.ai account with your API key, go to Components → AutoAlt.ai → Bulk Alt Text Generator. Select the images you want to process, configure the generation options if needed, and click Generate Alt Text. The generated alt text will be automatically saved to your Joomla media library.
