Image ALT texts

How to prepare ALT texts for product images with AI that looks at each image.

ALT text describes an image for Google Images and screen readers. This tool lists products whose images have no ALT text, and the AI looks at each image and suggests a description.

What you need first

  • A connected store and an AI key (Anthropic or OpenAI).
  • Search Console, if you want to see potential. The list works without it too.
  • You don't need a WordPress login. ALT texts are saved through WooCommerce.

Steps

  1. Under Which products, choose Missing ALT or All.
  2. Under Order, choose Biggest Google potential.
  3. Select products and click Prepare selected (…).
  4. Click Edit. You'll see image thumbnails, the current ALT text and a suggestion you can edit.
  5. Click Show … changes in the store.
  6. Approve the changes. Each image is a separate change with a before-and-after preview and undo.

The ALT texts column shows No ALT: … of … images, Complete or No images. The recommended length is 60–125 characters.

By default, the AI describes only images without ALT text. To improve existing descriptions, open Change settings and check Also prepare images that already have ALT.

Limits

  • One run covers up to 20 products and 60 images. The AI describes at most 8 images per product.
  • Each product counts toward the Studio limit during the trial.
  • Images go to the model as pictures, so they cost more than text. You'll see the cost below the table.
  • The tool changes ALT texts of images in the product gallery. To change images in the description or in variations, use the chat.
  • Suggestions aren't saved in the Library.

Common problems

  • Could not load the image. Check that the image URL opens publicly.
  • The data changed since the preview. Someone changed the image's ALT text in the store after it was prepared. Prepare it again.
