How to Add Alt Text to 5,000 Product Images — Fast and SEO-Smart

Alt text improves accessibility, boosts SEO, and helps Google understand your images — but writing it for thousands of product photos is a massive chore. With Summrly, you can generate accurate, keyword-rich alt text for every image in minutes. Enter your product category, and AI analyzes the visual context and creates descriptive, concise alt text that’s both human-friendly and search-optimized.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

Most sites leave alt text blank or use generic labels like “image_123.jpg” — missing SEO and accessibility opportunities. Summrly starts with your topic and generates meaningful alt text based on product type, color, use case, and scene. For example: “woman wearing black organic cotton t-shirt while hiking” instead of “product photo.” This improves image search rankings, supports screen readers, and enhances user experience at scale.

Step-by-Step Guide

Create Your First Topic – Enter your product type (e.g., “running shoes”).
Set Up Your Content Focus – Choose “image SEO” or “accessibility optimization.”
Add Keywords – AI suggests relevant visual keywords like “trail running,” “cushioned sole,” or “women’s fit.”
Brand Details – Add your brand voice and audience focus.
Complete Setup – Upload your image list or connect your product feed — get AI-generated alt text for every image.

Enter your product topic below to make every image discoverable, accessible, and SEO-ready — no manual tagging needed.
