See every featureAutoAlt automates the creation of product image alt text to help merchants improve search engine rankings and store accessibility. Manually writing descriptions for large catalogs is time-consuming and often overlooked. This app uses AI to analyze your products and generate accurate, descriptive alt text in bulk.
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.
