AltText.ai generates image descriptions for accessibility and to help search engines understand image content. It produces alt text in more than 130 languages and is available through web, browser extensions, integrations, and developer tools. Listed integrations include WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Contentful, DatoCMS, Storyblok, Cloudinary, Dropbox, Pinterest, and Google Drive. Developers can work through a REST API, webhooks, or an MCP server, while Chrome and Firefox extensions generate descriptions for images on the web. A free scanner checks up to 25 pages for missing alt text and reports an AI visibility score. One credit covers one image; each additional language translation uses another credit. Standard formats include JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP; paid plans support extra formats including AVIF, HEIC, SVG, and TIFF at two credits per image. A 50-credit pack costs 3.00 USD per once, Bronze costs 49.00 USD per year, Silver 189.00 USD per year, and Platinum 229.00 USD per month. The company says submitted images are removed after processing and are not used to train AI models without written consent.
