Frequently asked questions
- Does this look at the actual image file?
- No — this tool polishes <em>your</em> description into accessible alt text. It doesn't analyse pixels. You provide the visual content; AI handles the wording.
- What's good alt text?
- Concise, descriptive, no 'image of' filler, and conveys the same information a sighted user would get. For decorative images, use empty alt (<code>alt=""</code>) so screen readers skip them.
- Why does context matter?
- Alt text should describe the image's role on the page, not just its content. The same photo of a person might be 'CEO Jane Smith' on a bio page or 'Conference attendee taking notes' on an event recap.
- Where does my description go?
- POSTed to our server, forwarded to OpenAI in memory. Not retained for training and not logged.
- Why under 125 characters?
- Most screen readers stop reading alt text at around 125–250 characters. Concise alt is also better for SEO because it's more focused.
