Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI Alt Text Generator

No. The plugin works out of the box with the built-in managed credits service — no API key and no signup. Every site gets 50 free images per month. If you'd rather run on your own AI account, you can optionally add your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key in the Advanced settings.

Managed credits let the plugin generate alt text through the AI Alt Text Generator managed service without you configuring anything. Every site gets 50 free images per month. If you need more, affordable paid credit plans are available. This uses an external, account-based service and is optional beyond the free tier. Learn more about managed credits.

Yes. In the Advanced settings you can add your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key and generate directly on your own account — at cost, with no per-image fees and no vendor lock-in. You can use any vision-capable model your provider offers; the plugin ships with a sensible, low-cost default and lets you change the model anytime.

Yes — that's the point. It produces WCAG-aligned alt text to help you meet WCAG 2.2, ADA, Section 508, and European Accessibility Act (EAA) requirements. It's a practical fit for nonprofits, churches, schools, and small businesses that need accessible websites without a developer on staff.

Yes. AI Alt Text Generator Pro is an optional add-on that adds WooCommerce product context, scheduled background scans that describe images automatically, a coverage analytics dashboard, automatic updates, and priority support. The free plugin is fully functional on its own. Learn more about Pro.

The plugin sends images to the AI service — the managed credits service by default, or your selected provider's API if you've added your own key — which returns the generated alt text. This process requires an active internet connection and the transmission of image data to the service's servers.

Yes, the AI Alt Text Generator supports bulk processing of images for efficient workflow, and can also generate automatically on upload.

Under Bulk Generation, "Never overwrite alt text containing" takes a comma-separated list of words — "logo, sponsor, headshot", for example. Any image whose current alt text contains one of them is left exactly as it is, even with "Process All Images" turned on, and costs nothing to keep. Press Save (or Start, which saves first), then use the Testing tab to select an image and confirm it says "Protected" before you run.

Yes, you can customize the prompt used to generate alt text in the plugin settings. You can also test your prompts before applying them to images.

Yes. The plugin registers a wp ai-alt-text command suite: - wp ai-alt-text generate bulk-generates alt text (using managed credits by default). Useful flags: --limit=<n>, --provider=<provider>, --force (regenerate existing), --ids=12,34 (specific attachments), --dry-run (preview only), and --yes (skip confirmation). - wp ai-alt-text activate --provider=<openai|anthropic> --key=<api-key> optionally configures your own provider and API key. Add --skip-validation to save without a live API check. - wp ai-alt-text status shows the active mode/provider, which keys are configured, the prompt/language, and alt text coverage counts.
