<p><strong>WMM AI Alt-Text is built for WordPress agencies and freelance developers</strong> managing multiple client sites. Generate accessible image alt text automatically using OpenAI or Anthropic — with <strong>your own API key</strong>, so you control costs and bill clients transparently.</p>
<p>Every feature is free and fully functional. There are no usage caps, no locked features, and no paid tier inside this plugin — your only cost is what your AI provider charges for the API calls you make.</p>
<h4>What’s included</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)</strong> — use your own OpenAI or Anthropic key; no per-image markup, no usage caps from us, no surprise invoices</li>
<li><strong>Auto-generate on upload</strong> — new images get accessible alt text automatically</li>
<li><strong>One-click generation</strong> — a “Generate alt (AI)” button on any existing image in the Media Library</li>
<li><strong>Bulk regenerate</strong> — process an entire media library in one background run, with pause/resume/cancel and a USD cost cap</li>
<li><strong>Multi-language</strong> — generate alt text in 30+ languages</li>
<li><strong>Custom prompt templates</strong> — tune output for e-commerce SEO, editorial register, or technical detail</li>
<li><strong>Cost estimator</strong> — see estimated $ before any batch run, no surprises</li>
<li><strong>History / audit log</strong> — every generation logged with provider, model, language, and estimated cost</li>
<li><strong>Settings export / import</strong> — configure one site, replicate the configuration across every client</li>
<li><strong>Health-check tool</strong> — one-click diagnostic JSON for support escalations</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why agencies prefer BYOK</h4>
<p>When you manage 20+ client sites, opaque per-image pricing destroys your margins or forces you into ugly markups. BYOK lets you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use the OpenAI / Anthropic key the client already pays for — pure pass-through, no markup games</li>
<li>Or use your own agency key and bill the small API cost as a clear line item</li>
<li>Avoid being held hostage to a SaaS vendor’s price hikes</li>
</ul>
<h4>Cost transparency</h4>
<p>At current <code>gpt-4o-mini</code> pricing (~$0.00015 per image), processing <strong>10,000 images costs about $1.50</strong>. The plugin shows estimated cost before any batch run, and logs actual cost after.</p>
<h4>Built by</h4>
<p>Webmaster & More — a Los Angeles–based WordPress + Next.js dev shop. We use this plugin on our own client sites.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin sends your images to the third-party AI provider <strong>you choose and configure</strong> (OpenAI or Anthropic) in order to generate alt text. It uses <strong>your own API key</strong>; no data passes through Webmaster & More servers. You must have an account with the provider you select.</p>
<p><strong>OpenAI</strong> (used when “OpenAI” is the selected provider)<br />
What it is and what it’s used for: OpenAI’s vision API generates the alt-text description for an image. This cannot be done locally — it requires the provider’s model.<br />
What data is sent and when: the image (as a public URL, or the image bytes if the site is not publicly reachable) together with a short text prompt is sent to <code>https://api.openai.com</code> each time alt text is generated — on upload (if auto-generate is on), when you click the per-image button, and for each image during a bulk run. A lightweight models-list request is also sent to verify your key when you click “Test key”.<br />

<p><strong>Anthropic</strong> (used when “Anthropic” is the selected provider)<br />
What it is and what it’s used for: Anthropic’s Claude vision API generates the alt-text description for an image. This cannot be done locally — it requires the provider’s model.<br />
What data is sent and when: the image (as a public URL, or the image bytes if the site is not publicly reachable) together with a short text prompt is sent to <code>https://api.anthropic.com</code> each time alt text is generated — on upload (if auto-generate is on), when you click the per-image button, and for each image during a bulk run. A lightweight models-list request is also sent to verify your key when you click “Test key”.<br />

<p>A ‘Download’ option is added to both List and Grid modes in the Media Library.<br />
Choose the attachments you want to export, click the button, and a zip file of those attachments is created that you can then download.</p>
<h4>Selecting for download in List mode</h4>
<p>In List mode the ‘Download’ option appears in the Bulk Actions dropdown. Select the attachments by checking the checkboxes, choose ‘Download’ in the dropdown, then click ‘Apply’.</p>
<h4>Selecting for download in Grid mode</h4>
<p>In Grid mode, first click the ‘Bulk Select’ button. Then click on the attachments you want to download and hit the ‘Download’ button.</p>
<h4>Download options</h4>
<p>Before the zip file is created, you’ll see a) how many files will be downloaded, and b) how big the uncompressed files are.<br />
By default, you are also given the option to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Include or exclude image intermediate sizes.</li>
<li>Include in your download the folder structure you use in your uploads folder (e.g. year/month) or have all files downloaded in a single folder.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can set a maximum (uncompressed) file size to be downloaded in the plugin settings, found in Settings > Media.</p>
<p>By default, zip files are automatically removed in 1 – 2 hours, or you can delete them yourself.</p>
<p>If you want to keep the download files inaccessible to others, you can use the ‘Make downloads secure’ option in Settings > Media.<br />
This creates a .htaccess file in the folder where the download zip files are kept, preventing direct access.</p>
<p>You can also choose to encrypt and password-protect the zip files. However please note that in most cases the standard Windows zip facility<br />
will not be able to open the files – you will need to use something like 7-Zip instead.</p>
<p>However there’s no point in using this feature or the .htaccess one unless you also have some means of preventing direct access to the attachments<br />
themselves in the Uploads folder.</p>
