About IMG Alt Gen Pro
From the official readme · v3.0.8.28Description
IMG Alt Gen Pro is a bulk alt text generator for WordPress and WooCommerce. It helps site owners, agencies, publishers, and online stores generate descriptive image alt text across media libraries, blog content, featured images, and product galleries without editing every image by hand.
Use it to generate alt text for individual images or process batches in bulk from a dedicated admin area. The plugin can optionally use context from posts, products, and supported SEO plugins to improve the relevance of generated alt text.
This is especially useful for:
-
Large WordPress media libraries
-
WooCommerce stores with many product images
-
Agencies cleaning up client sites
-
Publishers and bloggers with years of uploaded content
-
Accessibility and SEO workflows that need a practical bulk fix
IMG Alt Gen Pro connects your WordPress site to the IMG Alt Gen hosted service. An IMG Alt Gen account with tokens is required to generate alt text. The plugin itself runs in WordPress, but the alt text generation is performed by the IMG Alt Gen service.

How it works
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Link your WordPress site to your IMG Alt Gen account using a secure token.
- Choose individual images or batches to process from the Media Library tools.
- The plugin sends the required image and context data to the IMG Alt Gen API.
- Generated alt text is written back to the standard WordPress
_wp_attachment_image_altfield.
External service requirement
IMG Alt Gen Pro is not a standalone alt text generator. It is a WordPress interface for the IMG Alt Gen hosted service.
An IMG Alt Gen account is required to generate alt text. Usage of the external service may involve token-based billing according to your IMG Alt Gen account.
If you do not want to use an external service for alt text generation, this plugin is not the right fit.
Data sent to the external service
No data is sent to IMG Alt Gen until:
- You link your site to an IMG Alt Gen account, and
- You explicitly trigger an action that requires the service, such as generating alt text or checking token/account status
When you run a generation task, the plugin may send:
- The image URL and or image bytes
- Attachment title and basic image metadata
- Related post or product context, where available
- Optional SEO context, if enabled in the plugin settings
Examples of optional context include:
- Post or product title
- Categories or tags
- Product information from WooCommerce
- Supported SEO plugin fields such as metadata or focus keyphrases
Full details are available:
- Terms of Service: https://imgaltgen.com/terms
- Privacy Policy: https://imgaltgen.com/privacy
Site owners are responsible for ensuring they have a lawful basis to process images and any related personal data before using the service.

- Upload the plugin folder to

Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin generate alt text inside WordPress only?
No. IMG Alt Gen Pro is a WordPress interface for the IMG Alt Gen hosted service. The plugin manages the WordPress-side workflow, while the alt text generation itself happens through the external IMG Alt Gen API.
Do I need an IMG Alt Gen account?

Can I bulk-generate alt text for my WordPress media library?
Yes. The plugin includes a dedicated admin area for bulk processing images in batches.
Can I generate alt text for WooCommerce product images?
Yes. When WooCommerce support is enabled, product data can be used as context to improve the generated alt text for product and catalogue images.
Can I generate alt text for a single image?
Yes. You can generate alt text directly from the individual attachment edit screen.
Can I choose which images to process?
Yes. You can process individual images or batches, and you can prioritise images that are actually used in published content.
Does this overwrite existing alt text?
By default, the plugin is designed to avoid overwriting useful non-empty alt text unless your settings allow it. Review your configuration before running large batch jobs.
Does this work with SEO plugins?
Yes. The plugin can optionally use context from supported SEO plugins where available, such as metadata or focus keyphrases, to improve relevance.
What data is sent when generating alt text?
When generation is triggered, the plugin may send: The image URL and or image bytes Attachment title and metadata Optional post or product context Optional SEO context if you have enabled supported integrations The handling of this data is governed by the IMG Alt Gen Terms and Privacy Policy.
Does this add front-end scripts or tracking?
No. The plugin runs in the WordPress admin and does not inject tracking scripts or front-end widgets on your site.
What happens if I run out of tokens?
If your IMG Alt Gen account has no available tokens, generation requests will stop until you top up your account. The plugin will show a message in the admin area.
Is this plugin free?
The plugin itself is free to install and use as a WordPress interface. Alt text generation requires the external IMG Alt Gen service, which uses token-based billing.
What happens if I deactivate or delete the plugin?
Deactivating the plugin stops communication with IMG Alt Gen. Deleting the plugin can remove plugin-specific settings and cached data depending on your uninstall behaviour. Alt text already stored in the standard WordPress _wp_attachment_image_alt field will remain unless you remove it manually.
