Alt attribute generator

Generate a concise description and copy it as an HTML-ready `alt=""` attribute. Use this when you are editing markup, a static site, documentation, or a CMS block with raw HTML.

Good for

  • Update HTML image tags.
  • Prepare CMS alt fields.
  • Avoid file-name fallback text.

HTML-focused output

  • Generates the readable alt text first.
  • Escapes quotes, angle brackets, and ampersands for attribute safety.
  • Returns a copy-ready `alt="..."` snippet.

When not to add alt text

  • Use `alt=""` for purely decorative images that add no content.
  • Do not duplicate nearby captions or headings word-for-word.
  • For linked images, describe the destination or action when that is more useful.

Example output

For an article image of a dashboard screenshot, copy the generated attribute into the `<img>` tag after checking it against the screenshot.
