Alt Goblin is the “set it and forget it” way to keep your WordPress media library accessible and SEO-friendly.
Once activated, it fits right into your existing workflow — no complicated setup, no new screens to learn. Just upload images like you normally would, and let Alt Goblin generate clear, descriptive alt text for you.
Whether you’re managing a small blog or a media-heavy site, Alt Goblin helps you stay consistent without slowing you down.
You can:
<ul>
<li>Generate or re-generate alt text directly inside the Media modal</li>

<li>Automatically generate alt text on upload</li>
<li>Bulk process older images missing alt text</li>
<li>Track your free and paid credits from a simple dashboard</li>
</ul>
Each generation uses 1 credit and 1 credit = 1 alt text. Free monthly credits are included, and additional credit packs are available if you need them.
Install it. Activate it. Let it work in the background.
