Create Better Image Alt Text with AI and WordPress Context

Writing useful alt text for hundreds or thousands of images can take a considerable amount of time. WPStore+ AI Image Alt Text Generator provides a structured workflow for identifying missing alt text, generating suggestions with AI, reviewing the results, and applying approved changes safely.

The plugin can analyze the visible content of an image together with relevant WordPress or WooCommerce context, such as:

• Media Library title and caption
• Post or page title
• Text near the image
• Featured image role
• WooCommerce product name
• Product categories
• Product attributes
• Product gallery position
• Product variation information

This additional context helps the AI create descriptions that are more relevant to the page where the image is used, without automatically forcing keywords or replacing existing content.

Review Every Suggestion Before Saving

AI-generated alt text is never written directly to the Media Library without review.

Each generated suggestion is placed into a review workflow where an administrator can:

• Review the suggested alt text
• Edit the wording
• Check the detected image role
• View the context source
• Review AI confidence and context match
• Approve and save the result
• Close the review without changing the current alt text

Existing alt text is not automatically overwritten.

Media Library Image Audit

The Image Audit screen helps you identify and manage images across the WordPress Media Library.

Available filters include:

• Missing Alt Text
• Has Alt Text
• AI Saved
• Excluded
• Decorative Images
• All Images

Each image can be reviewed individually, edited manually, excluded from AI generation, or marked as decorative.

OpenAI and Google Gemini Support

Choose the AI provider that best fits your workflow.

Supported provider features include:

• OpenAI image understanding
• Google Gemini image understanding
• Provider-specific API keys
• Provider-specific models
• Connection testing
• Optional provider fallback
• Provider and model metadata
• Usage statistics by provider

Provider fallback can attempt a second configured provider when the primary provider is temporarily unavailable.

Fallback is optional and disabled by default.

WordPress and WooCommerce Context Intelligence

The plugin can detect how an image is used and select relevant context before generating a suggestion.

Detected image roles can include:

• Featured Image
• Post or Page Content Image
• Attached Media
• Unattached Media
• WooCommerce Main Product Image
• WooCommerce Product Gallery Image
• Product Variation Image

Context controls allow administrators to decide which information may be supplied to the selected AI provider.

Bulk Queue with Cost Protection

Process multiple missing-alt images through a persistent browser-driven queue.

Bulk Queue features include:

• Queue selected images
• Queue all eligible missing-alt images
• Pause and resume
• Cancel queue
• Retry failed items
• Automatic retry
• Queue recovery
• Provider and model snapshots
• Per-run image limits
• Daily generation limits
• Monthly generation limits
• Processing delay controls
• Progress and result counters

Every successful bulk result becomes a pending suggestion. Bulk processing does not automatically save alt text.

Content Usage Scanner

Media Library alt text and the alt attribute stored inside a post are not always the same.

The Content Usage Scanner audits image occurrences inside WordPress content and can detect:

• Gutenberg Image Blocks
• Gutenberg Gallery Blocks
• Media & Text Blocks
• Classic Editor HTML
• Custom HTML Blocks
• Local Media Library images
• External images

Reported conditions include:

• Content Alt Missing
• Media Alt Missing
• Alt Missing in Both
• Alt Text Mismatch
• Alt Text Matched
• Decorative Image
• External Image Missing Alt
• Local Image Not Matched

The scanner works locally inside WordPress and does not send post content to OpenAI or Gemini.

Safe One-Item Synchronization

When the Media Library alt text and content-level alt text are different, an administrator can review and synchronize one occurrence at a time.

Available actions include:

• Use Media Alt in Content
• Use Content Alt in Media

A content hash is checked before any synchronization. If the post has changed since the scan, the plugin rejects the outdated result and asks for a new scan.

This helps prevent an old scan from editing the wrong image occurrence.

Free Evaluation

The plugin includes a limited evaluation mode when no active license is present.

Free Evaluation includes:

• Dashboard
• Image Audit
• Search and filters
• Manual alt text editing
• Decorative image controls
• Exclude and include controls
• Activity Logs
• Review and save existing suggestions
• OpenAI connection testing
• Up to 3 successful OpenAI generations

Free Evaluation generations use Media Library context only.

The trial counter is stored on the server and only increases after a successful AI generation. Failed requests and connection tests do not consume the evaluation allowance.

An active WPStore+ license unlocks:

• Continued AI generation
• Google Gemini
