Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from other free alt text tools?

Most free generators only return plain text with tight daily limits. Here you get SEO, accessibility, social, and decorative modes, plus plain, HTML attribute, and Markdown formats shown together. No signup required.

What is decorative mode?

Decorative images (borders, spacers, purely aesthetic flourishes) should use alt="". Decorative mode tells you when empty alt is appropriate and why.

How long should alt text be?

SEO mode targets under 125 characters. Accessibility mode may be a bit longer when needed for screen-reader context. Avoid stuffing keywords.

Is my image stored?

No. The image is sent to one of several AI providers for description and is not stored on Instant Tools servers.
