Hundreds of images, no alt text
Old uploads, product photos, and imported content often ship with empty alt attributes. Search engines and screen readers see nothing.

Alt text is a small task that quietly turns into a big one
Every image without alt text is a missed ranking signal and an accessibility gap. At scale, fixing it manually is the job nobody wants.
Writing alt text is slow
Opening each image, looking at it, and writing a specific description takes 30–60 seconds per image. A 500-image library becomes a week of work.
Bulk tools overwrite blindly
Filename-based auto-fill produces lazy alt text (“IMG_2041”), and bulk replacement can destroy alt text you carefully wrote. Neither is good for SEO.
Scan, generate, review, save
AltMint fits into the routine you already have. You stay in control of every suggestion.
-
Scan your library
AltMint lists every image attachment and product image that has no alt text — including images buried in the media library since 2014.
-
Generate with context
An AI vision model looks at each image and writes a description. AltMint adds context such as the filename and the page or product the image belongs to.
-
Review and edit
Every suggestion is stored as a suggestion, not as live alt text. Edit anything that sounds generic before it reaches your site.
-
Save in bulk
Approve what you like and save all reviewed suggestions in one click. Re-run the scan later to catch new uploads.
The details that make it worth using
Media library + WooCommerce
Scan regular image attachments and product images — featured images and galleries both.
Your key, your costs
Bring an OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Google Gemini key. It stays in your WordPress database, and you pay the provider directly.
Never overwrite blind
Images that already have alt text are skipped by default. Switch to “All images” when you want to audit and improve them; suggestions stay separate until you approve.
Editable suggestions
Tweak tone, length, and wording per image. Set a maximum word count and an extra prompt for your brand voice.
22 languages
Generate alt text in the language your audience actually reads, not just English.
No telemetry
The plugin does not send usage data anywhere. The only outbound request is the generation call to the AI provider you chose.
Why review-first matters
AI is good at describing images and bad at knowing your intent. AltMint keeps a human in the loop by design.
| Approach | Speed | Quality | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Write every alt by hand | Slow | High | None, if you finish |
| Filename-based bulk fill | Fast | Low | Junk alt text everywhere |
| Unreviewed AI auto-apply | Fast | Medium | Generic or wrong descriptions go live |
| AltMint (review-first AI) | Fast | High | You approve every change |

Questions
Is AltMint really free?
Yes. The free plan includes 100 generated images per month, forever. You bring your own AI API key, so you pay the AI provider directly — usually a fraction of a cent per image depending on the model.
Do I need my own API key?
Yes, AltMint is bring-your-own-key. You can connect OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Google Gemini. The key is stored only in your WordPress options and is never sent anywhere except the provider you chose. If you don’t have a key, the plugin runs in demo mode so you can try the workflow first.
Will it change alt text I already wrote?
No. AltMint only scans images with missing alt text by default, and every AI suggestion is stored separately from the live alt attribute. If you want to improve existing descriptions, switch the scan to “All images” — nothing changes on your site until you review and save it.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes. AltMint supports WooCommerce product images, including the featured image and gallery images, and uses the product name as context for the generated text.
Which WordPress versions are supported?
WordPress 6.2 and newer, PHP 7.4 and newer. The plugin has no build step and no external JavaScript dependencies.
How does this help with accessibility laws?
Missing alt text is one of the most common WCAG failures. Fixing it helps you comply with policies such as the ADA in the US and the European Accessibility Act, and it makes your content usable with screen readers.
What happens after I pay?
Creem emails a receipt that includes your license key. Install the free plugin and the Pro add-on, open AltMint → License, paste the key, and activate it. One license activates one WordPress site — deactivate it there first if you move the site.
Do you store my images or API key?
No. There is no AltMint image server. Images go from your WordPress site directly to the AI provider you configured, and your API key stays in your WordPress database. Pro licensing only sends the license key and site name to our small license service.
Can I use one Pro license on more than one site?
One license covers one WordPress site. You can deactivate it under AltMint → License and activate it on another site at any time. Need several sites? Email support and we will sort out a plan.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
Email support@altmint.com within 14 days of purchase and we will fix the problem or refund you. You can cancel the subscription from your Creem receipt at any time — the site keeps working on the free plan.
How do I install the free beta?
Download the free beta zip from this page, then go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin in WordPress. The free plugin is also headed to the WordPress.org directory soon; the waitlist gets a note when it is live.
