Autobute: Auto Image Attribute & Bulk Updater is a user-friendly WordPress plugin that enhances your website’s image SEO and accessibility.
It automatically generates Alt Text, Title, and Caption for your images directly from their cleaned filenames, helping your site rank higher in Google image search and ensuring images are accessible to users with visual impairments.
The Bulk Updater allows you to optimize all existing images on your site with a single click, saving you hours of manual work.
For example, an image named “mountain-lake-1.jpg” has its Alt Text, Title, and Caption set to “Mountain Lake” automatically, boosting its visibility on search engines and making it clear for screen readers.
Whether you’re running a blog, online store, or portfolio, Autobute simplifies image optimization, drives more traffic, and makes your site inclusive.
Developed by <a href="https://digitalwebtutor.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Digital Web Tutor</a>, Autobute is ideal for beginners and experts. Support our work by <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/wpwiki" rel="nofollow ugc">buying us a coffee</a>.
