Overview

Once the scan is complete, you can see the number of Total images scanned, the Alt text coverage, and the number of Images missing Alt text.

Before generating alt text, you can customize how and where it is applied. These settings give you full control over:

• Which images are included
• What content is used for generation
• When alt text should be created

Available Generation Options

1. Image Types

You can choose where alt text should be generated:

• Product images

• Collection images

• Blog post images

This allows you to target specific areas of your store or apply changes across all content.

2. Product Selection

When generating alt text for product images, you can define the scope:

• All products

Includes every product in your store

• Only published products

Limits generation to products currently visible to customers

3. Content Sources

You can select what information is used to generate alt text:

• Product title

Provides a short and clear description

• Product description

Adds more context for a more detailed alt text

You can use one or both options depending on your preferred level of detail.

4. Generation Conditions

To protect existing content, you can enable:

• Generate alt text only for images that do not have alt text

When this option is selected:

• Existing alt text will not be modified
• Only missing alt text will be generated

Editing Individual Images

For more control, you can manually update alt text:

• Click Edit next to any image
• Add or modify the alt text as needed either Manually or by using the "Generate with AI" option
• Save your changes

This is useful when you want more precise or custom descriptions.

Best Practices

• Use product titles for consistency and clarity
• Include product descriptions when more context is needed
• Enable missing alt text only to avoid overwriting existing content
• Re-scan your store regularly to keep new images optimized

Benefits

Using the Alt Text Manager with the right settings helps you:

• Improve accessibility compliance
• Enhance SEO performance
• Save time with automated generation
• Maintain high-quality image descriptions

If you needed, you can re-run scans at any time or adjust your generation settings based on your store’s needs.
