How to Use Image Alt Text Accessibility Tool
- 1 Look at your image and describe exactly what is happening in it (e.g., 'Woman sitting at a laptop in a bright office').
- 2 Enter the description into the box.
- 3 Click 'Format' to generate the HTML attribute.
- 4 Copy the 'alt="..."' string and paste it into your image tag in your code or CMS.
Why This Matters
Search engines are 'blind'—they cannot see what is inside an image file. If you don't provide 'Alt Text' (Alternative Text) in your HTML, Google has no way of knowing that a photo of a 'Blue Mountain Bike' is relevant to a user's search for that product. Furthermore, visually impaired users relying on screen readers will miss out on the context of your page. Many developers skip this step or use vague terms like 'image1.jpg,' which provides zero SEO or accessibility value.
