How does the AI alt text generation work?

Our AI analyzes your images and generates accurate, descriptive alt text that improves accessibility and SEO. The system is trained on millions of images and can generate context-aware descriptions in multiple languages.

Will optimization affect my original images?

No, your original images are always preserved. We create optimized versions of your images while keeping the originals intact.

What image formats are supported?

We support conversion to WebP and AVIF formats, with automatic fallbacks for older browsers. We can optimize JPG, PNG, and GIF files.

How do credits work?

You can monitor your credit usage in the WordPress admin panel and manage your account at altomatic.ai/profile.

Is my data secure when using the Altomatic API?

Yes, we take data security seriously. Your images are uploaded to our API only for processing and are stored temporarily just long enough to complete optimization and alt text generation.
We never share your images with third parties or make them publicly accessible. For more details, please review our privacy policy.

I’ve been using Altomatic on my own site and on a few of my client sites, and it’s been awesome. It automatically optimizes my images and even adds alt text to images using AI, which has saved us hours of manual work and helps a ton with accessibility compliance. Also great for improving image SEO without having to think about it. Simple to install and just works. Highly recommend if you want to make your site more accessible and search-friendly without extra effort.
