Image Alt Text Audit
Audit the images in your HTML for missing or empty alt text, for accessibility and SEO.
Finding the images with no alt text
Alt text is the written description of an image that screen readers announce and search engines read, and that shows when an image fails to load. Missing it is one of the most common accessibility failures on the web. This scans your HTML and flags which images have alt text, which are missing it, and which have an empty attribute, so you can fix the gaps.
Paste your HTML and it reports the alt-text status of each image.
Good alt text, and the empty exception
Good alt text describes the image's content and purpose concisely — a person reading it aloud should understand what the image conveys. There is one deliberate exception: purely decorative images should have an empty alt attribute, which tells screen readers to skip them rather than announce a distracting filename. So the audit is not simply about filling every alt with words; it is about meaningful descriptions where images carry meaning, and intentional blanks where they do not.
Frequently asked questions
Why does alt text matter?
Screen readers announce it, search engines read it, and it shows if an image fails to load — missing it is a common accessibility failure.
Should every image have descriptive alt text?
Meaningful images should; purely decorative ones should have an empty alt attribute so screen readers skip them.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The audit happens in your browser.
