Auto-generate on upload
Every time you upload an image to the Media Library, the plugin automatically generates and saves the alt text. Zero manual steps.
WordPress Plugin
Rankifly AI Image Alt Text
Automatically generate SEO-optimized alt text for every image in your Media Library using AI vision. Supports auto-generation on upload and bulk processing.
Features
Single image button
A "Generate Alt Text" button is added to each image in the Media Library. Click to generate or regenerate alt text for any individual image at any time.
Bulk generation
Process your entire Media Library at once from Media → Bulk Alt Text. A live progress bar and log show exactly what is happening. Stop and resume any time.
Smart context awareness
The image title is passed to the AI as context, producing more relevant and accurate alt text. Overwrite control lets you skip or update existing alt text.

External Services
This plugin connects to the OpenAI API to analyze images and generate alt text. When an image is processed (on upload, via the single button, or during a bulk run), the publicly accessible URL of the image and the image title are sent to the configured endpoint (default: api.openai.com). No data is sent automatically unless the "Auto-generate on upload" option is enabled. OpenAI Privacy Policy — Terms of Use.
