Bulk Image Alt Generator
Generate accessible, SEO-friendly alt text for WooCommerce product images.
The Bulk Image Alt Generator uses vision-capable AI models to write concise alternative text for WooCommerce product images. It writes approved results to the WordPress attachment alt text field.
Open it from AI Product Tools > Bulk Image Alt Generator.
What it updates
Approved alt text is saved to each image attachment's WordPress alt text field (_wp_attachment_image_alt). It does not rewrite product descriptions or product meta.
Basic workflow
- Open Bulk Image Alt Generator.
- Select products.
- Select the specific product images you want to process.
- Choose provider, model, max length, and available prompt/tone options.
- Generate alt text.
- Review each image result.
- Edit, regenerate, dismiss, or apply results.
- Check a product image in the Media Library or product page markup.
Output rules
Good alt text should:
- Describe what is visible in the image.
- Include useful product context when it helps shoppers or screen reader users.
- Stay concise, usually under 125 characters.
- Avoid phrases such as "image of" or "photo of".
- Avoid keyword stuffing.
- Use plain text only, not HTML or markdown.
Provider requirements
Image alt generation requires a provider/model that can process image input. If a selected model does not support vision, choose a different model or provider.
Premium controls
Depending on plan, premium image workflows can include gallery handling, tone controls, attribute enrichment, additional prompts, templates, and A/B variants.
Best practices
- Start with featured images for your best-selling products.
- Review alt text for accuracy before applying.
- Keep decorative words out of alt text.
- Use product attributes such as color/material when they are visible in the image.
- Do not describe hidden features that cannot be seen.
