Alt Text Writer

Write meaningful alt text that conveys the purpose and content of images.

Usage

Describe the image and its context to get appropriate alt text suggestions.

Examples

  • "Write alt text for a hero image on a product landing page"
  • "Create alt text for a data visualization chart"
  • "Decide if this decorative icon needs alt text"

Guidelines

  • Describe the image's purpose, not just its appearance
  • Keep alt text concise, typically under 125 characters
  • Use empty alt (alt="") for purely decorative images
  • Provide long descriptions for complex charts and diagrams
  • Never start with 'image of' or 'picture of'
