IMG Alt Gen Pro is a bulk alt text generator for WordPress and WooCommerce. It helps site owners, agencies, publishers, and online stores generate descriptive image alt text across media libraries, blog content, featured images, and product galleries without editing every image by hand.
Use it to generate alt text for individual images or process batches in bulk from a dedicated admin area. The plugin can optionally use context from posts, products, and supported SEO plugins to improve the relevance of generated alt text.
This is especially useful for:
<ul>
<li>
Large WordPress media libraries
</li>
<li>
WooCommerce stores with many product images
</li>
<li>
Agencies cleaning up client sites
</li>
<li>
Publishers and bloggers with years of uploaded content
</li>
<li>
Accessibility and SEO workflows that need a practical bulk fix
</li>
</ul>
IMG Alt Gen Pro connects your WordPress site to the IMG Alt Gen hosted service. An IMG Alt Gen account with tokens is required to generate alt text. The plugin itself runs in WordPress, but the alt text generation is performed by the IMG Alt Gen service.

</ul>
When you run a generation task, the plugin may send:
