AltGenie scans your catalog, shows how many images lack alt text, and generates descriptive captions from the actual image plus your product title, tags, type and vendor. Run it across all products, chosen collections, or hand-picked items.
Product images without alt text are invisible to search engines and screen readers. Writing these texts manually takes hours, especially for multilingual stores. The app identifies images without alt text and uses AI to generate new descriptions or improve existing ones, making your catalog more accessible and easier to find.
