CSV Format

- ALT — The new ALT text for that image
Example (international/comma):
ID,ALT
123,Handmade ceramic mug on wooden table
Example (French/semicolon):
ID;ALT
123;Mug en céramique sur table en bois
How It Works
- Download the CSV template from Easy Alt Import in the admin menu.
- Open the file in Excel/LibreOffice/Numbers or any text editor.
- Edit only the ALT column; keep IDs unchanged.
- Save as CSV (UTF-8 recommended).
- Upload the CSV, preview, select, and apply your changes.
- If needed, Undo the last optimization.
