Alt Text Creator

Alt Text Creator is a powerful tool designed to generate descriptive alt text for images using OpenAI's advanced GPT-4o model. Alt text, or alternative text, is a critical component of web accessibility, ensuring that visually impaired users and search engines can understand the content of images on a webpage.

Why Alt Text Matters

Alt text serves several important purposes:

• Accessibility: Screen readers use alt text to describe images to users with visual impairments.
• SEO: Search engines rely on alt text to index and rank images in search results.
• User Experience: If an image fails to load, the alt text provides context about what should be displayed.

How the Alt Text Creator Works

The tool leverages GPT-4o's advanced image understanding capabilities to analyze an image and generate accurate, concise descriptions. Simply upload an image, and the AI will provide:

• A clear description of the image content
• Relevant contextual information
• Concise yet informative text (typically under 125 characters)

Best Practices for Alt Text

When using the Alt Text Creator or writing alt text manually, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Be descriptive but concise
• Include important details like text in the image
• Avoid phrases like "image of" or "picture of"
• For decorative images, use empty alt text (alt="")

By automating the alt text creation process, this tool helps make the web more accessible while saving content creators valuable time. The GPT-4o model ensures descriptions are both accurate and contextually appropriate for various types of images.
