Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI Auto Alt Text Generator

The publicly accessible image URL, plus any optional context you enable: image file name, site-wide context, and the parent post/page title.
Try lowering the bulk batch size, increasing the bulk delay, switching Image Detail Quality to Low, and shortening site context if it’s very long.
No. The OpenAI API returns a response and does not retain your data. The plugin itself stores only the generated alt text and title in your WordPress database.
Yes – via Settings → Alt Text Generator you can add site context and choose whether to include the image’s file name or parent post title. You can also select an output language; English (US) remains the default. Developers can filter the prompts and output directly via the aatg_alt_text_prompt, aatg_image_title_prompt and aatg_generated_alt_text hooks.
GPT-5.4 nano by default (cheapest, vision-capable), with GPT-5.4 mini for higher quality. Legacy GPT-4o mini and GPT-5 mini/nano remain selectable. Existing installs keep whatever model they previously selected.
No. The bulk tool regenerates alt text that is missing or clearly filename-based (e.g. IMG_1234, or alt text equal to the file name). Genuine human- or AI-written descriptions are left untouched. You can fine-tune the detection with the aatg_is_low_quality_alt filter.
By default, the bulk page requires the manage_options capability (typically Administrators). You can change this in code to upload_files if you want Editors with media permissions to run it.
