Step 1
Upload an image
JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF up to 6MB. We downscale it in your browser before anything is sent.
Step 2
Add context (optional)
A few words about the page or product makes the alt text noticeably sharper.
Step 3
Pick the image type
Descriptive, product, or decorative — each follows different accessibility rules.
Step 4
Paste it in
Copy the bare alt text or the ready-made HTML snippet into your CMS.
Why it matters
Screen-reader users experience your images entirely through alt text — a filename like DSC_2837.jpg tells them nothing. Good alt text describes the subject, the action, and any visible text in under 125 characters, which is where most screen readers truncate. Accessibility lawsuits over missing alt text are real and rising; it's also just table stakes for a usable web.
Image search drives meaningful traffic for product and how-to content, and alt text is the primary ranking signal for it. AI engines also use alt text to understand what a page demonstrates — an article whose screenshots carry descriptive alt text is more extractable than one with empty attributes.
A purely decorative image should ship with alt="" so assistive tech skips it cleanly. Omitting the attribute entirely makes screen readers fall back to reading the filename aloud, which is worse than silence. The rule: describe images that carry information, empty-alt images that don't.
With Meev
Hand-writing alt text for every image doesn't survive contact with a weekly publishing schedule. Every article Meev generates ships with descriptive alt text on every image — cover and inline — as part of the quality gate, not as an afterthought.
Under 125 characters. Most screen readers truncate around that point, so front-load the subject and action. If an image genuinely needs a longer description — a complex chart, for example — put the long version in a figure caption or aria-describedby and keep the alt attribute short.
When the image is purely decorative — background flourishes, dividers, stock photos that add mood but no information. Use alt="" (empty, but present) so screen readers skip it. Never omit the attribute entirely: that makes some screen readers read the filename aloud.
Only when they genuinely describe the image. Alt text exists for accessibility first; keyword-stuffed alt text reads as spam to both screen-reader users and search engines. If the image actually shows your product, naming the product is correct — that's description, not stuffing.
It's resized to a small JPEG in your browser before upload, analyzed once in memory to produce the alt text, and discarded. We never write it to storage, and the full-resolution original never leaves your machine.
Yes. AI engines parse alt text to understand what a page shows, which feeds whether and how they cite it — especially for how-to content where screenshots carry the actual instructions. Descriptive alt text makes the whole page more extractable.
