AI Alt Text Creator is a complete solution for automating image SEO and accessibility on your WordPress site. It uses Artificial Intelligence to analyze your images and generate descriptive, context-aware Alt Text and Titles.
By connecting to OpenRouter, this plugin bypasses expensive monthly subscriptions, giving you direct access to the world’s best AI models (including Google Gemini, GPT-4, and Claude 3.5) at the lowest possible cost.
🚀 Key Features
One-Click Manual Generation: Instantly generate metadata for individual images directly from the Media Library list view. Perfect for new uploads or refining specific images.
Automated Background Processing: Process your entire back catalog automatically using the built-in Cron scheduler. Configure batch sizes and intervals to suit your server’s capacity.
Context-Aware Descriptions: The AI reads the Title and Content of the post/page the image is attached to. This ensures the generated Alt Text is relevant to your specific article, not just a generic description of the visual.
Global Context: Add custom instructions (e.g., “Always mention our brand name ‘Acme Corp'”) that apply to every image generated.
Smart Error Handling:
Retry Failed: Automatically logs failed attempts. You can retry all failed images with one click from the settings page.
JSON Fixer: A specialized tool to scan and fix images where the AI might have accidentally saved raw code instead of text.
Detailed Logging: View the exact generation timestamp, source (Manual vs Cron), and any error messages directly in the “Edit Media” screen.
Cost Control: You bring your own API key. You pay only for exactly what you use, with no markup.
Format Control: Choose exactly which file types to process (JPG, PNG, WEBP, etc.).
🧠 Why OpenRouter?
OpenRouter is an AI aggregator that offers significant benefits for WordPress users:
Cheaper: Models like Google Gemini 1.5 Flash are incredibly affordable (often fractions of a cent per image).
Flexible: Switch models instantly. If a new model is released tomorrow, you can simply paste its ID and use it immediately.
No Middleman: You use your own API key.
💡 Context & Prompts
You can customize exactly how the AI behaves using placeholders in your prompts:
Examples of Global Context:
<pre><code>Inputs:
– Page Topic: [{post_title}]
– Page Content: [{post_content}]
– Image: [attached image]
</code></pre>
Examples of Alt Text Prompt:
<pre><code>Role: Web Accessibility and SEO Expert.
Task: Generate a single, optimized alt text string (MAX 125 characters) for the provided image, situated within the context of inputs.

Alt Text AI – Automatically generate image alt text for SEO and accessibility


AltText AI has made our job easier by removing the hassle of adding alt text manually to each image. and the AI is pretty darn accurate tbh. But I love that the team went and put in the effort to introduce Human Reviews which makes the solution perfect in case the AI has something else on its mind :D


Keeping SEO automated is now easier than ever


We discovered AltText.ai through AppSumo, and I must say we’re incredibly impressed with the quality of the output. The AI does an excellent job of integrating relevant keywords into the assigned pages, and the results have been spot on.



We’ve tested it across a few of our sites, and the experience has been absolutely seamless.



We’re excited to see how the plugin continues to evolve and wish your team all the best. You’ve earned a lifetime user in us here at WP Codeus!
