How it sells itself

Turn lookbooks, product photos, diagrams, and store guides into interactive images. Merchants select up to five products per block and position matching hotspots in the theme editor. Customers can open product cards, follow product links, or add available items to cart. Hotspots support keyboard navigation, visible focus, Escape to close, 44-pixel touch targets, and mobile-aware card positioning.

SpectoAI helps you meet accessibility expectations by turning every product photo into meaningful alt text. It analyzes the image itself and your product metadata (title, brand, tags, description) to write descriptions that match what you sell. Run it on selected items or bulk-generate alt text for thousands of images, approve or edit in-app, and push updates to your Store in one click.

Key points
  • Add up to five product or custom-link hotspots per image
  • Let customers view products or add available items to cart
  • Support keyboard navigation, visible focus, and Escape to close
  • AI uses image & product data to generate precise, context-aware alt text
  • Meet global accessibility laws (ADA/EAA) to protect your brand and buyers
  • Improve SEO rankings by providing search engines with exact product context
  • Update thousands of product images at once and eliminate tedious writing
