Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureThis app helps merchants generate and manage alternative text (alt text) for images across their store. It analyzes image content and existing product information to create descriptive alt text that supports accessibility and improves screen reader compatibility. Merchants can review generated text, customize prompts to match their brand voice, and apply updates across products, collections, pages, and blog images.
AltGenius writes alt text for your product images from a template you choose, using details such as title, type, brand and variant. You see the result on your own products before you start. By default it fills in only images with no alt text, so anything you wrote stays as it is. Alt text with links or embed code, which review and video apps use, is skipped.
