The Automatic Alt Text Generator for Images plugin is designed to work seamlessly in the background, automatically generating ALT text and image titles for any new image you upload to your WordPress Media Library. It can also incorporate relevant SEO keywords to enhance your site’s visibility.

To customize how the plugin behaves, go to the Settings page under AutoAlt.ai in your WordPress admin dashboard.

Within the plugin settings page, there is an option labeled “While Uploading New Images”. When enabled, the plugin will automatically generate alt text for newly uploaded images.
If WPML or Polylang is active, alt text will be generated for all configured languages.

Simply open the image in your WordPress Media Library and click the “Generate Alt Text” button to quickly add alt text to the image that WordPress users need. The plugin will analyze the image and instantly generate optimized ALT text and title for it.

This tool allows you to quickly generate ALT text for multiple images.
To access it, navigate to AutoAlt.ai → Bulk Generate from the WordPress admin menu.

You can refine which images are processed by applying the following filters:

• Overwrite existing alt text
  Include images that already have ALT text. Enabling this will replace existing ALT attributes with new ones.
• Attached to post
  Only process images that are attached to a post, page, or any custom post type. Unattached media files will be excluded.
• Processed by AutoAlt.ai
  Skip images that have already been processed by AutoAlt.ai to avoid duplicate or unnecessary updates.

From your Media Library list view, check the boxes next to the images you want to process. Then, open the “Bulk actions” dropdown, select “Generate Alt Text – AutoAlt”, and click Apply to automatically generate ALT text for all selected images.

Go to the History page and quickly update alt text for any previously processed images. Simply review and edit the entries and click the “Update” button to save instantly.

The history of processed images is organized by generated languages, allowing you to easily update alt text based on your preferred language or specific requirements.

When generating ALT text, you can choose to apply the same text to other image fields for consistency and improved SEO. The following options are available:

• Set the image title using the generated alt text
  Automatically copy the generated ALT text into the image’s title field.
• Set the image caption using the generated alt text
  Use the generated ALT text as the image’s caption, which can appear on the front end depending on your theme.
• Set the image description using the generated alt text
  Populate the image’s description field with the same generated ALT text.

The “Filter by Image Extension” feature helps you manage credits efficiently. For example, if you upload images in JPG or PNG format, but your website automatically converts them to WebP for performance optimization, it’s recommended to filter and select only the WebP format during processing. This ensures that credits are used only for the final images actually displayed on your site.

Automatically enhance your image ALT text using focus keywords from the post the image is associated with.

• Use focus keywords to generate alt text (if available).
  When focus keywords are added to your post using SEO plugins like Yoast, All in One SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, Squirrly, or SmartCrawl Pro, the plugin will automatically include those keywords in the generated ALT text.
  
• Can’t find SEO keywords? Use the post title instead
  If a focus keyword isn’t available, the plugin will use the post title to generate meaningful alt text.

ALT text for product images plays a key role in improving SEO and product visibility. To give you full control, the plugin provides flexible options for how ALT text is generated for WooCommerce product images:

• Use the product name when generating alt text
  Automatically apply the WooCommerce product title as the base for generating ALT text for product images.
• Use image title as product name (instead of WooCommerce product title)
  Use the image title as the primary source when generating ALT text.
  Recommended if your image titles provide better or more detailed descriptions than the product title.
