FAQ

1.What types of images are supported?

We generate alt text for all major image formats, including JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, and BMP. Images must be under 16MB in size and at least 50x50 pixels.

2.How do credits and pricing plans work?

Our pricing is straightforward—you can purchase credits as needed. Each time you generate or regenerate alt text (via API calls, plugins, or our website), one credit is used. For non-English alt text, 1.5 credits are required per image.

3.What are the benefits of embedding alt text in images?

Embedding alt text using XMP metadata offers significant advantages for SEO, accessibility, and content retention. Unlike traditional alt text stored in HTML (which can be lost when an image is downloaded or shared), XMP metadata remains embedded in the image file itself. This ensures that descriptive, keyword-rich information persists, allowing search engines like Google to better index and rank images in Google Image Search and Discover. Additionally, embedded alt text improves accessibility by enabling screen readers to read the metadata directly, making digital content more inclusive for visually impaired users. It also enhances brand consistency and attribution—if your image is used on other websites, your metadata remains intact. This makes XMP a valuable tool for businesses and content creators optimizing images for search engines while ensuring metadata longevity./p>

4.Do I own the alt text I generate?

Yes, you retain full ownership of any alt text generated through Alttext.it. We do not claim any rights over the content produced using our service. You are free to use, modify, and distribute the alt text as needed, in accordance with our Terms of Service. While we store the generated alt text in your account for convenience, we do not use it for AI training or share it with third parties.

5.Can I use Alttext.it on multiple websitesI

Yes, you can use Alttext.it across multiple websites and integrations under the same account. As long as you have available credits, you can generate alt text for as many sites as needed.

6.Will I lose my alt text if I uninstall the plugin or app?

No, any alt text you have already generated remains intact. For example, if you generate alt text for 500 images using our platform, that alt text will remain on those images even if you uninstall the plugin or app.

7.Do you support languages other than English?

Yes! We support over 130 languages. If you are using our website or WordPress plugin, you can select your preferred language in the settings. If you are using our Developer API, you can specify the desired language using the lang parameter in your request. Non-English alt text generation uses 1.5 credits per image.

8.Can I set a maximum length for alt text?

Yes, you can customize the alt text length in your Account Settings. We offer four modes:

  • Micro (shortest)

  • Compact

  • Standard

  • Extended (longest)

  • While Google no longer imposes a strict limit on alt text length, you can choose a format that best suits your needs.

9.Do you store the images I upload?

Yes, we store images in your account to facilitate alt text embedding. However, you can choose to delete them after downloading. While stored images and generated alt text remain accessible in your account for convenience, we do NOT use them for AI training or share them with third parties.

10.How do I connect Alttext.it to my CMS?

We offer native plugins for WordPress, Contentful, and Hygraph. If you use a different CMS, you can integrate Alttext.it via our Zapier, Pabbly, Albato, or SureTriggers connectors, which work with hundreds of other platforms. We continually evaluate new integrations based on customer demand, so stay tuned for more!

11.Why is the generated alt text sometimes inaccurate?

We use advanced AI models to analyze images and generate alt text. However, AI-generated descriptions may not always be 100% accurate. That’s why we provide an option to review and edit the alt text before embedding it into images. As newer AI models become available, we continuously evaluate and integrate improvements to ensure the best possible results.
