WRITE WITH CONTEXT
A little text.
A more useful image.
Alt text is a short text alternative that communicates an image’s purpose. Aim for one concise sentence, often 80–125 characters; context matters more than a fixed limit.
Describe the purpose, subject and useful details. For linked images, explain the action. Purely decorative images normally need an empty alt attribute.
A PRODUCT IMAGE, FOR EXAMPLE
“image product shoes best shoes buy shoes”
“Navy running shoe with a white sole, shown from the side.”
Useful details help people understand the image. Repeated keywords do not.

A FEW MORE THINGS
Good questions.
Clear answers.
What is alt text?
Alt text is a text alternative that conveys the purpose or information of an image. It is commonly stored in the HTML alt attribute and read by assistive technology.
How long should alt text be?
Use the shortest wording that communicates the image’s purpose clearly. One sentence, often around 80–125 characters, is a practical writing target, not a WCAG character limit. Explain complex charts in nearby text or a data table.
Does alt text affect SEO?
Alt text helps search engines understand images in context. It does not guarantee rankings; describe the actual image naturally and avoid keyword stuffing.
Do decorative images need alt text?
Purely decorative images should normally use an empty alt attribute, alt="". Do not simply omit the attribute. If an image is a link or conveys information, describe its function or meaning instead.
Can I generate alt text in bulk?
Generate one image at a time. Bulk processing is not supported.
How do I add alt text in Shopify?
Open the image’s details in Shopify, edit its alt text field and save. For product images, start from the product’s media section. This site does not connect to Shopify or update your store automatically.
