It helps site owners find images with missing alt text, generate readable filename-based suggestions, preview changes before saving, bulk update selected media items, and protect manually written alt text. Unlike simple automatic alt text tools, this plugin focuses on a safer editorial workflow. Admins can scan the Media Library, review suggested alt text before applying changes, select only the images they want to update, skip images that already have custom alt text, export media accessibility reports, undo the last bulk update, and improve image metadata without sending data to any external API. The plugin is useful for bloggers, WooCommerce stores, agencies, and website owners who want a lightweight local workflow for reviewing and improving image alt text and media metadata. #### Features * Missing alt text scanner. * Preview table before applying changes. * Selective bulk update workflow. * Smart filename cleanup. * Manual alt text protection. * WooCommerce product image detection when WooCommerce is active. * Alt text quality score. * CSV media accessibility report export. * CSV metadata import for attachment ID, alt text, title, caption, and description. * Undo last bulk update. * Local processing with no external API. * Generate image alt text from filenames. * Automatically process newly uploaded images. * Bulk update existing Media Library images. * Optional background automation using WP-Cron. * Optional title case, sentence case, or lowercase formatting. * Optionally skip numeric-only filenames. * Optionally remove camera prefixes such as IMG, DSC, PXL, WP, and PHOTO. * Optionally remove date-like numbers from filenames. * Optionally remove image dimensions such as 1024×768. * Optionally use image title as fallback. * Does not overwrite existing alt text unless enabled. * Media Library alt status and quality score columns. * Basic image usage detection for featured images, content usage, and WooCommerce product images. * Optional title, caption, and description generation. * Optional frontend fallback alt mode that does not update the database. * Basic image accessibility dashboard. ### What makes this plugin different? * Local and privacy-friendly: no external API required by default. * Scan-first workflow: find images missing alt text before making changes. * Preview before update: review suggestions before saving. * Selective apply: update only selected images. * Manual alt protection: skip images that already have custom alt text. * WooCommerce-aware: detect product images when WooCommerce is active. * Quality score: review the strength of filename-based suggestions. * CSV reporting: export a media accessibility report for review. * CSV import: import attachment metadata from a structured CSV file. * Undo support: restore previous metadata after the last bulk update. * Basic image accessibility dashboard: review missing alt text status from one place. #### Privacy This plugin works locally on your WordPress website. By default, the plugin does not connect to external APIs or third-party services. No image files, filenames, media metadata, or alt text are transmitted outside your WordPress website. All filename-based alt text suggestions are generated locally on your server. #### Important Note About Generated Alt Text This plugin generates alt text suggestions from filenames and WordPress media data. It does not visually analyze image pixels. For best accessibility results, administrators should review generated suggestions and edit them when needed. Good alt text should describe the image meaning and purpose in the context of the page where it appears. ## Screenshots [⌊Basic image accessibility dashboard.⌉⌊Basic image accessibility dashboard.⌉[ Basic image accessibility dashboard.
