Use bulk image ALT text tools for your Media Library, generate featured image ALT text automatically, and scale WooCommerce image ALT updates with AI or offline mode.
Key features:
<ul>
<li>Beginner-friendly Free Offline Mode quick start with one-click <code>Generate First 10 ALT Texts</code>.</li>
<li>Beginner-friendly Automation tab with upload toggle, daily schedule, and one-click <code>Fix Missing ALT Now</code>.</li>
<li>Automatic ALT generation on new image uploads with selectable mode priority (<code>Offline first</code>, <code>AI first</code>, <code>Offline only</code>, <code>AI only</code>).</li>
<li>Daily background scan for missing ALT (or all images) with mode selection, run limit, and status panel.</li>
<li>Top-level <code>Altify AI</code> admin menu (before Posts) with dedicated <code>Settings</code> and <code>Generate History</code> pages.</li>
<li>ALT coverage report with total images, missing ALT count, completed ALT count, coverage percentage, and CSV export.</li>
<li>AI mode with OpenAI model settings, rate limiting, retry/backoff, and safe fallback behavior.</li>
<li>Free Offline Mode (no API) that generates ALT from title/caption/description/filename.</li>
<li>Bulk Media Library processing with filters, batching, and pause/resume/stop controls.</li>
<li>WooCommerce bulk generation for featured and gallery images with category/date filters.</li>
<li>Generation history table with source, method (AI/Offline/Cache), ALT preview, and row-level delete controls. Settings page shows the latest 10 rows for quick review.</li>
<li>Multilingual support: Auto (site locale), many built-in languages, and custom language input.</li>
<li>Optional vision-based analysis for image-aware ALT suggestions.</li>
<li>Native WordPress ALT field updates (<code>_wp_attachment_image_alt</code>) for SEO plugin compatibility.</li>
<li>Smart protection for existing ALT text via <code>Only fill empty ALT</code> and <code>Overwrite existing ALT</code>.</li>
</ul>
SEO and accessibility benefits:
<ul>
<li>Improves image context for screen readers.</li>
<li>Reduces missing ALT text across large media libraries.</li>
<li>Keeps ALT text in the native WordPress field (<code>_wp_attachment_image_alt</code>) for compatibility with SEO plugins.</li>
<li>Avoids duplicate custom ALT fields and vendor lock-in.</li>
<li>Supports content quality workflows with configurable length and overwrite behavior.</li>
</ul>
How it works:
<ol>
<li>Plugin gathers safe text context from attachment metadata (filename, title, caption, description).</li>
<li>Optional product context is added for WooCommerce images (product name/category).</li>
<li>OpenAI returns a concise ALT suggestion.</li>
<li>Result is sanitized and stored in the standard WordPress ALT field.</li>
<li>If API fails (or offline mode is used), the plugin writes a clean metadata-based ALT text fallback.</li>
</ol>
