Back to topAltTextLab AI Alt Text Generator is a powerful AI-driven extension designed to help e-commerce stores automatically generate descriptive, SEO-friendly, and accessibility-compliant alt text for all product images. Once installed, the extension works seamlessly in the background, detecting new or updated products and creating accurate alt text without any manual input. The extension reads your product name, attributes, and description alongside each image, so the generated alt text is specific to each product, not a generic image caption.
The extension integrates directly into your store’s admin interface, allowing you to manage generation settings, track progress in real time, and review generated alt text in product edit pages or in the generation history panel.
Integration
This extension connects to AltTextLab.com, an AI-powered service that automatically generates context-aware alt text for images. After entering your API key in the admin configuration, the extension sends each product image along with its name, attributes, and description to the AltTextLab service. The AI analyzes the full product context and returns accurate, product-specific alt text directly to your store. No OpenAI API key required.
Features
- Product-aware alt text generation
The extension sends your product name, attributes, and description alongside each image to the AltTextLab service. Generated alt text describes the specific product (not a generic image), resulting in more accurate, more relevant, and more SEO-useful descriptions. - Automatic generation on product save
Alt text is generated automatically whenever a product is created or updated. Works seamlessly in the background with no manual intervention required. - Bulk alt text generation for your entire catalog
Process hundreds or thousands of product images in a single bulk run. Select specific products or run across the full catalog. Monitor real-time progress from the admin panel and review completed runs in the generation history. - Customizable AI writing style
Choose between descriptive, neutral, matter-of-fact, and minimal output styles. Set a preferred style per store view and every generated description follows it. - Smart filtering
Configure the extension to only process images without existing alt text, or allow it to overwrite. Filter by product status for targeted processing. - Async processing via message queue
Process alt text generation in the background using a message queue system. Keep your admin panel fast and responsive, even when processing large catalogs. - Multi-language support
Generate alt text in any of 130+ languages — useful for multi-store setups serving different locales or international e-commerce operations.
Benefits
- Better rankings in Google Images, Bing, and AI-generated answers
Search engines use alt text to understand and index product images. Accurate, product-specific alt text improves visibility in image search results and helps your products surface in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. - Meet EAA, ADA, and WCAG 2.1 AA requirements
AltTextLab generates WCAG 2.1 AA-compliant alt text automatically, reducing compliance risk without adding manual workload for your team. - Process thousands of products without slowing your store
Async processing via message queue means bulk generation never blocks your admin panel or affects storefront performance.
How It Works
- Install the extension via Composer or manual upload.
- Create your AltTextLab account at alttextlab.com
- Enter your API key in Stores → Configuration → AltTextLab → Settings.
- Choose your language, writing style, and generation rules (auto on save, bulk only, or both).
- The alt text generator automatically creates alt text for all product images
- Review results in the generation history panel or directly on each product edit page.
