How to Find Every Image Missing Alt Text on Your Website

Many of your images have no written description (alt text). A description is the only thing a text-based AI can read from a picture. Your dashboard gives you the full list of images to fix.

Images have no description

What this means

Every image on a web page can carry a short hidden description, called alt text. Screen readers read it aloud to people who cannot see the image, and machines read it in place of the picture.

Our check counts the images on your pages and how many of them have no description.

Why it matters for AI

An AI tool reading your page as text gets nothing at all from an image with no description. A photo of your finished work, your team or your product is invisible to it.

Fix it with AI Schema Gen

Every step below is in the AI Schema Gen dashboard, whatever your site is built with. For the fixes to reach your pages, your site needs to be connected first: connect your site.

    Add a description to each image

    This is a change on your side. Descriptions are added where the images are: in your website builder or media library.

    AI Schema Gen cannot make this change from the dashboard: it works on the structured data of your pages, not on the pages themselves.
