Accessibility & SEO Benefits
Why is alt text important for accessibility?
Alt text makes web content accessible to people who use screen readers or have visual impairments. Without alt text, these users would miss important visual information on your website. Providing descriptive alt text ensures everyone can access the content of your images.
How does alt text improve SEO?
Search engines can't "see" images, so they rely on alt text to understand what's in an image. Good alt text helps search engines index your images properly and can improve your search rankings. It also gives you an opportunity to include relevant keywords naturally.
What makes good alt text?
Good alt text is concise but descriptive, providing context about the image and its purpose on the page. It should be specific, relevant to the content, and around 125 characters or less. Our AI aims to generate alt text that follows these best practices.
