Proper alt text also helps people who are blind or who have low vision understand your images there by improving the accessibility of your website. This will open up your website to a new segment of visitors and increase your traffic.

With this plugin you can:

<li>Set the image filename as the image Title.</li>
<li>Set the image filename as the image Caption.</li>
<li>Set the image filename as the image Description.</li>
<li>Set the image filename as the image Alt Text. This was a default feature in WordPress before 4.7. The plugin restores this essential feature which is great for SEO.</li>
<li>Insert Image Title into post HTML. WordPress stopped adding Image Titles to images since WordPress 3.5. The plugin restores it.</li>
<li>Remove hyphens from the image filename.</li>
<li>Remove underscores from the image filename.</li>
<li>Remove full stops from filename.</li>
<li>Remove commas from filename.</li>
<li>Remove all numbers from filename.</li>

<li>Set the image filename as image Title, Caption, Description and Alt Text after removing hyphens and underscores from the filename.</li>
<li>Update any number of images in your Media Library in one click.</li>
</ul>
If your image filename is My_image-name.jpg, your Image Title, Caption, Description And Alt Text will be My image name.
The plugin settings and bulk updater are in WordPress Admin > Settings > Image Attributes. Here you can choose which attributes to update for NEW uploads.
Please remember to take a database backup before running the bulk updater (or anything bulk in general). The bulk updater updates ALL attributes for existing images in the Media Library and ignores the settings set for NEW uploads.

Auto Image Attributes From Filename With Bulk Updater (Add Alt Text, Image Title For Image SEO)


the title says it. This plugin will overwrite existing Alt Text values. This is bad if you've already added any Alt Text values yourself in the past, those will be lost and overwritten with the file name... probably with a non human friendly file name.



If they update this later to check for existing values and don't overwrite those then I would recommend giving it another try.



PS: this goes for ALL title, alt text, description, and caption. All of these will be overwritten even if you already have it set to something.


Will overwrite existing Alt Text

Automatically add Image Alt Text, Title, Caption and Description from Filename. Bulk update existing images. Great for Image SEO and Accessibility.
