AI Image Descriptions

AccessiblyKit’s AI-driven image description tool automatically analyzes images on your site and generates descriptive alt texts, enhancing accessibility for visually impaired users.

How AI Image Descriptions Work

The AI-powered image description feature ensures your images are accessible by providing descriptive alt text automatically:

  • Intelligent Analysis: Analyzes images without existing alt descriptions.
  • Automated Descriptions: Generates detailed and contextually accurate descriptions.
  • Real-Time Processing: Automatically processes new images as they’re added to your site.

  • Access your AccessiblyKit dashboard.
  • Go to your site’s accessibility settings.

Step 2: Enable Image Descriptions
