jharm AI Featured Image vs Image Alt Text

Most WordPress sites are missing alt text on over half their images — every one a keyword Google can’t read and a barrier for screen reader users. Image Alt Text fixes this directly from your WordPress dashboard. View every image with or without alt text, edit inline, copy filenames or titles in bulk, and keep your media library fully optimised without touching individual media files. Whether you have 50 images or 50,000, Image Alt Text gives you a clear table view of your entire media library, shows exactly which images are missing alt text, and lets you fix them all in bulk — no page refresh, no clicking through individual media items. Image Alt Text Pro adds AI-powered alt text generation using OpenAI, Google Gemini, Claude AI, and Hugging Face — automatically on every upload, or across your entire library in one click. Technical Support We would always love to hear from you about plugin issues, queries, and enhancements. Please use the native support forum so other users with the same question can benefit too. Visit our support on the Plugin’s Forum. Features View all images with alt text — full table view with inline editing. No page refresh needed. See every image missing alt text — dedicated tab showing only images that need attention. Copy filename to alt text — one-click option to use the image filename as alt text, in bulk or per image. Copy post title to alt text — populate alt text from the associated post or page title. Bulk actions — select multiple images and apply alt text updates across all of them at once.

Buy Pro Image Alt Text 4 AI Vision Providers — Bring Your Own Key Generate highly accurate, SEO-friendly alt text using OpenAI GPT-4o, Google Gemini 2.0 Flash, Claude AI (Haiku), or Hugging Face (Qwen2.5-VL). Connect any provider with your own API key. Write a custom prompt tailored to your site’s tone and SEO goals. You pay the AI provider directly — no markups, no bundles. Auto-Generate Alt Text on Every Upload Set it and forget it. The moment an image is uploaded, alt text is generated automatically using your preferred method (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Hugging Face, Post Title, or Filename). No manual steps required. One-Shot Bulk Actions Process every image in your current view with a single click. No selection needed — just pick an action (Copy Title, Copy Filename, or any AI provider) and click Process. Configurable batch size controls how many images are sent to the AI API per request. Unlimited Bulk AI Selection Select any number of images in Bulk Action and run AI generation across all of them. Images are processed one at a time sequentially — no timeouts, no rate-limit errors regardless of selection size. Bulk Caption Actions Copy post titles or filenames to image captions in bulk. Also supports per-image caption update directly from the image list. Decorative Image Accessibility (WCAG 2.1) Mark any image as decorative in the media library. The plugin automatically injects role="presentation" and aria-hidden="true" on the frontend so screen readers skip the image entirely. Covers both Gutenberg image blocks and PHP-rendered images. SEO Quality Score for Every Image Every image in your library is rated Excellent, Good, or Needs Work based on alt text quality — so you can prioritise which images need attention first. Visually Spot Missing Alt Text on Your Live Site Enable a frontend highlight to outline images missing alt text directly on your published pages. Instantly see where the gaps are without digging through the media library.

Central Settings Panel Sidebar-navigated settings page to configure AI providers, API keys, custom prompts, upload automation, batch size, and highlight preferences — all in one place.

Tired of searching stock photo sites for every blog post? AI Featured Image Generator lets you create a fitting featured image with one click — directly from the post editor. Key features: One-click generation from the Block Editor sidebar Bring Your Own API Key — supports OpenAI (DALL-E 3) and Ideogram Custom prompt option — override the auto-generated prompt before generating Generated images are stored in your Media Library and automatically set as Featured Image Regenerate variations with a single click Lightweight — no tracking, no telemetry, no admin notice spam Why “Bring Your Own Key”? Image generation costs money. Instead of charging you a markup, you connect your own API key and pay providers directly at cost. Typically a few cents per image. Supported providers: OpenAI DALL-E 3 (openai.com) — recommended, sign up at platform.openai.com Ideogram (ideogram.ai) — alternative provider What this plugin is NOT: Not a 50-feature AI suite Not a stock photo replacement (you control the prompts) Not phoning home — your data stays between you and your chosen AI provider Source Code The Block Editor sidebar is compiled JavaScript built with @wordpress/scripts. The unminified source is included in the plugin package under src/sidebar.js. To rebuild from source: Install Node.js (v18 or higher) and npm. In the plugin directory, run: npm install Build the production bundle: npm run build The compiled output is written to assets/js/sidebar.js and assets/js/sidebar.asset.php. External Services This plugin connects to external AI services to generate images. These connections are made exclusively when a user manually triggers image generation or tests their API key — never automatically. OpenAI (DALL-E 3) When OpenAI is selected, the plugin sends your post title and optional custom prompt to the OpenAI API in order to generate an image.

Generated images are stored in your own WordPress Media Library.
