IMG Alt Gen Pro

Service Terms: https://imgaltgen.com/terms | Privacy: https://imgaltgen.com/privacy

Generate AI alt text for your images via IMG Alt Gen. No data sent until you connect your account or run a generation.

IMG Alt Gen Pro connects your WordPress site to the IMG Alt Gen SaaS, a hosted service that generates descriptive, accessibility-friendly alt text for your images using AI.

The plugin adds tools in the Media Library and a dedicated “AI Alt Text” admin area so you can:

• Generate alt text for individual images directly from the attachment screen.
• Run bulk generation over batches of media items.
• Prioritise images actually used on published content.
• Use optional context from posts, products and SEO plugins to improve descriptions.

This plugin is an interface to an external service and requires an IMG Alt Gen account with tokens to generate alt text. Core image generation happens on IMG Alt Gen’s servers, not inside WordPress.

How it works

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Link your WordPress site to your IMG Alt Gen account using a secure token.
3. From the Media Library or AI Alt Text screens, choose which images to process.
4. The plugin sends the relevant data to the IMG Alt Gen API, receives generated alt text, and stores it in _wp_attachment_image_alt.

Data sent to the external service

No data is sent to IMG Alt Gen until:

• You explicitly link your site to an IMG Alt Gen account, and
• You trigger an action that requires the service (e.g. checking tokens, generating alt text, syncing account status).

When you run a generation, the plugin may send:

• Image URL or image bytes (for better AI support across multiple providers).
• Basic site/context info, such as:
  • Attachment title.
  • Related post/product titles and taxonomies.
  • Optional SEO context (e.g. focus keyphrase, SEO titles/descriptions) if you enable those integrations.

You can find full details in the service’s Terms and Privacy Policy:

Site owners are responsible for ensuring they have a lawful basis for processing images and any associated personal data before using the service.

Features

• AI-generated alt text Generate concise, human-readable alt text designed for accessibility and SEO.

• Bulk processing Process images in batches while respecting server limits, with progress feedback in the admin UI.

• Context-aware descriptions Use post and product context (titles, categories, tags, product data) to improve relevance and specificity.

• Published-content focus Optionally prioritise images that are actually used on published posts and pages, rather than everything in the media library.

• WooCommerce support (optional) When enabled, product data can be used to improve descriptions for product images.

• SEO plugin awareness (optional) Can read supported SEO plugin fields (where available) to provide better context for the AI model.

• Role and capability controls Restrict who can trigger AI generation or manage account settings using WordPress roles and capabilities.

• Privacy-conscious by design No usage analytics or tracking scripts are injected on the front end. The plugin only communicates with the IMG Alt Gen API to carry out requested operations.

External service notice

This plugin is not a standalone alt-text generator. It is an interface to the IMG Alt Gen hosted service and relies on that service to provide AI-generated alt text.

By connecting your site and using the plugin’s features, you agree to the IMG Alt Gen Terms and Privacy Policy. If you do not wish to use an external service, you should not activate or connect this plugin.
