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.
