EzAlt AI – Automated Image SEO & Accessibility

Description

EzAlt AI (by Lidor Asulin) helps improve website SEO and accessibility by automatically generating descriptive alt text for images using AI.

All plugin features are included and fully functional. AI generation uses an external service with a free starter credit; optional credit packs add service quota — they do not unlock hidden plugin code.

What makes EzAlt AI different:

• Context-aware alt text — sends parent post title, content type, and taxonomy terms for sharper descriptions (e.g. WooCommerce products)
• Per-image generation from the Media Library attachment screen
• Purchase-intent routing so bought credits reach the correct WordPress site
• Idempotent API requests — retries never double-charge credits
• Background bulk processing via WordPress cron (no Action Scheduler required)

Features:

• Bulk optimize images missing alt text in your Media Library
• Generate alt text for a single image from the attachment edit screen
• Optional automatic alt text generation on image upload
• Real-time bulk progress bar
• Does not overwrite existing alt text
• Credits deducted only after successful generation
