Turn a short description of your image into correctly formed alt text

Comprehensive Guide & Technical Mechanics

About Image Alt Text Writer — Free Online Tool

This tool arranges words you supply — a subject, an action, a setting, a detail — into alt text of the right shape and length, and returns the finished <img> tag around it. It does not look at your picture: there is no vision model behind this page, whatever the name suggests.

What happens is sentence construction. The fields are ordered detail, subject, action, setting, sentence-cased, trimmed to your character limit on a word boundary rather than mid-word, and returned as both a concise and a descriptive variant. No file is read, uploaded or analysed, and no computer vision runs at any point — a file attached to the form is counted and ignored, and the output says so in as many words. Marking an image decorative returns an explicitly empty alt="" instead, which is the correct markup for one, and never a deleted attribute.

Everything happens in the page from the words you type. Nothing is uploaded, including an image you attach: it is discarded without being read, because there is nothing here that would read it.

Writing consistent alt text across a product gallery, getting the phrasing right for an image you can see but struggle to describe briefly, marking spacer and background images decorative correctly, and cutting an over-long alt to the length a screen reader will announce.

When to use it

Knowing an image needs alt text is easy; writing one that reads well, stays under the length a screen reader announces, and does not start with "image of" is the fiddly part. This does that part, and gets the decorative case right, which is the one most often got wrong.

How it works

Your fields are ordered detail, subject, action then setting, sentence-cased, and trimmed to your character limit on a word boundary rather than mid-word. You get a concise and a descriptive variant. It is sentence construction from your own words — nothing looks at the picture.

It Does Not See Your Image

There is no vision model on this site, so nothing here can look at a photograph and describe it. You supply the description; this gets the wording and the markup right. If you want a machine to caption an image for you, that needs a service you hold an account with.

Decorative Images Take An Empty Alt

A spacer, a divider or a purely decorative background should carry alt="" so a screen reader skips it. Tick decorative and that is what you get. The common mistake is deleting the attribute instead, which makes the reader announce the filename.
