Fix Experts AI Image Alt Tag Generator
Fix Experts AI Image Alt Tag Generator scans your Media Library and your published post/page content for <img> tags that are missing alt text. You review the list, select the images you want to fix, and generate descriptive alt text with AI.
Unlike a plain image captioner, generated alt text is grounded in your own site: your site name and tagline, a summary of your homepage and About page content, and the title/excerpt of the page the image appears on. On WooCommerce sites, product images instead use that specific product’s own name, category, and description as the primary context — so alt text reads as «brand X hiking boots, waterproof» instead of a generic «pair of shoes on a table.»
Features
- Scans the Media Library for attachments with empty
_wp_attachment_image_altmeta. - Scans published post/page content for embedded
<img>tags with no (or empty)altattribute — independent of Media Library metadata. - Pulls a summary of your homepage and About page so alt text reflects what your site/business actually is, not just a literal pixel description.
- On WooCommerce sites, automatically detects product images and grounds their alt text in that product’s name, category, and description.
- Select individual images or bulk-select, then generate alt text with one click.
- Review and edit AI suggestions before saving — nothing is written to your site until you click Save.
- Uses WordPress core’s own AI Client (WordPress 7.0+) when a provider is configured under Settings → Connectors, so most users don’t need to manage a separate API key at all. Falls back to your own Groq, Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic key otherwise.
Supported AI providers
- WordPress AI Client (recommended) — uses whichever provider is already configured for your site under Settings → Connectors; requires WordPress 7.0+.
- Groq — free, no billing/payment method required, Llama 4 vision models.
- Google Gemini — free tier, but not available in all regions and may require billing.
- OpenAI — GPT-4o family vision models, billing required.
- Anthropic — Claude vision models, billing required.
External services
This plugin connects to a third-party AI service to analyze an image and write alt text for it. A request is sent only when a logged-in administrator explicitly clicks «Generate» for a specific image, or «Generate AI Alt Text for Selected» for a batch — nothing runs automatically, on a schedule, or for site visitors.
Each request sends: the image file itself, your site name and tagline, a short summary of your homepage/About page content, the title and excerpt of the page the image appears on (or the product name, category, and description for WooCommerce product images), and your configured maximum alt text length. No visitor data, analytics, or tracking information is ever sent.
You choose exactly one active provider under Settings → Active Provider; only that provider receives data.
WordPress AI Client (bundled in WordPress core from version 7.0) When this option is active, the request is routed through WordPress core’s own AI Client to whichever provider you or your host configured under Settings → Connectors. This plugin does not see or store that provider’s credentials. The same image and context data described above is sent to whichever provider is configured there; consult that provider’s own terms and privacy policy.
