See every featureEvery image in your store deserves great alt text: products, blogs, collections, pages, and theme images. AI Alt Texts provides complete coverage across your entire store. Our context-aware AI understands page context, not just the image itself, creating more accurate SEO-optimized alt text.
Legible helps you find product images without alt text. Generate descriptions using the image, product, and brand context, then review, edit, or regenerate each draft before approving it in Shopify. Optional auto-mode prepares drafts for new product images and is off by default. Only approved text is saved to Shopify.
