About this tool

Good alt text depends on why the image is there. Tell the tool the purpose and context; for decorative images it will suggest an empty alt attribute and explain why.

Limitations to keep in mind

  • Length targets are guidance, not an accessibility rule.
  • The tool cannot know your page; review the suggestion in context.
  • It does not guess link destinations for functional images.

Frequently asked questions

When should alt be empty?

When the image is purely decorative and adds no information. Choose "Decorative" and the tool will explain.

Is longer alt text better?

No. Be as concise as the context allows.
