<p>ALTification uses AI to generate keyword-aware alt text, captions, and descriptions for your images — directly from your SEO plugin’s focus keyphrase and page context.</p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Bulk generate alt text across your entire site with the Site Scan</li>
<li>Page-level generation with keyword context from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework</li>
<li>Generate captions and descriptions alongside alt text</li>
<li>Media Library column showing SEO health badges for every image</li>
<li>Post editor metabox for inline generation</li>
<li>Detect and fix SEO gaps where alt text doesn’t reflect the page keyword</li>
<li>Mark decorative images to suppress alt text (WCAG compliant)</li>
<li>Supports WooCommerce products, ACF image fields and shared images</li>
<li>Before & After report for agency workflows (Agency plan)</li>
</ul>
<p>ALTification connects to the ALTification platform API to generate content. An API key is required.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin sends data to the ALTification API and Anthropic (Claude) when you trigger a generation, scan, or credit check — never automatically in the background.</p>
<h4>ALTification API</h4>
<p>Endpoint: https://altification.ai/wp-json/altification/v1/</p>
<p>When you generate, the plugin sends:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your image (as a URL or base64-encoded data)</li>
<li>The page’s SEO context (focus keyword, meta title, meta description, where available from your SEO plugin)</li>
<li>Your site’s context (site name, language, WooCommerce product/category data if relevant, a short excerpt of your homepage text, ACF field content if you have configured ACF support)</li>
<li>A non-identifying site fingerprint (an MD5 hash of WordPress’s COOKIEHASH and site URL, used to lock your API key to one site)</li>
<li>Your ALTification API key</li>
</ul>
<p>The API returns the generated text, your remaining credit balance and your account status.</p>
<p>ALTification does not store the image after the response is returned.</p>
<ul>
<li>ALTification Privacy Policy: https://altification.ai/privacy-policy/</li>
<li>ALTification Terms of Service: https://altification.ai/terms/</li>
</ul>
<h4>Anthropic (Claude)</h4>
<p>ALTification’s server uses Anthropic’s Claude API to produce generated text. The plugin does not call Anthropic directly — no Anthropic account or key is needed.</p>
<ul>
<li>Anthropic Privacy Policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy</li>
<li>Anthropic Commercial Terms: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms</li>
</ul>
<p>Use of this plugin requires an ALTification account and API key, available at https://altification.ai.</p>

Smart Alt Manager


I didn't realize how inconsistent my alt text was until I started using this regularly. Some images had good descriptions, others had filenames, and many had nothing.



Instead of fixing everything at once, I just started cleaning things up gradually. A few images per session. It adds up faster than you'd think.



The dashboard widget helps in a subtle way. I don't obsess over it, but seeing the coverage improve over time is motivating.



Also, the suggestions help when I'm tired or not in the mood to think too much. I adjust them slightly and move on.



It's one of those tools that works best when you don't overthink it.
