Alt Texts
AI-powered alternative text generation for images to boost SEO and accessibility
What are Alt Texts?
Alternative text (alt text) is descriptive text for images that serves two critical purposes: helping search engines understand image content for better rankings in Google Images, and providing accessibility for visually impaired users who rely on screen readers.
SEO King's Alt Texts tool uses advanced Vision AI to automatically analyze your product images and generate descriptive, SEO-optimized alt texts. Choose from basic templates, Vision AI captions, or combine Vision AI with GPT for the most sophisticated image descriptions - saving hours of manual work while improving discoverability and accessibility.
