### Are my images stored or used for AI training?

We never store your images or use them for AI training. We use OpenAI and Google
AI for processing – only image data is transmitted, no metadata.

 * Add mandatory keywords (brand 
names, product categories) * Block unwanted keywords (competitor names, irrelevant
terms) * Customize the AI prompt for your brand voice

### How fast is the alt text generation?

**2-3 seconds per image.** Bulk processing runs in the background and handles large
libraries efficiently.

### Will I lose alt texts if I deactivate the plugin?

**No.** Generated alt texts are stored in your WordPress database as standard image
metadata. They remain even if you deactivate or uninstall AutoAlt.

### Who is behind AutoAlt?

### 󠀁[Alt Text AI – Free 50 credits per month](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alt-text-ai-free-50-credits-per-month/)󠁿

 [Alina M](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alinamark/) March 1, 2026

I’ve been using AutoAlt.ai on a WooCommerce site and it’s been a real time-saver.
It generates alt text in bulk without breaking anything, and I like that I can still
do a quick one-off alt text for a single image when I’m editing products. The wording
feels surprisingly “human” (not robotic), and the history/edit option is handy when
I want to tweak a few later. If you have lots of images and you care about SEO +
accessibility, it’s worth it.

### 󠀁[Endlich! Nie wieder Alt-Texte manuell tippen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/endlich-nie-wieder-alt-texte-manuell-tippen/)󠁿

 [paraexperts](https://profiles.wordpress.org/paraexperts/) December 9, 2025

Ich bin total begeistert! Ehrlich gesagt, das Plugin ist ein echter Game-Changer.
Ich hatte Hunderte von Bildern auf meiner Seite, denen die Alt-Texte gefehlt haben–
eine Katastrophe für SEO und die Barrierefreiheit. Ich habe ewig vor mir hergeschoben,
das manuell nachzutragen. Autoalt.ai hat mir das alles in Minuten abgenommen. Die
Alt-Texte, die die KI generiert hat, sind wirklich erstaunlich gut und präzise. 
Man merkt, dass das keine 08/15-Beschreibungen sind. Die Einrichtung ist super einfach,
und die Funktion, alle bestehenden Bilder auf einmal zu “fixen”, ist einfach genial.
Klare 5 Sterne und eine dicke Empfehlung! Spart Zeit, verbessert SEO und macht die
Seite besser zugänglich. Was will man mehr?

 [annadanielca](https://profiles.wordpress.org/annadanielca/) August 16, 2025

Eine hervorragende Lösung für Bild-Accessibility und EAA-Konformität. Mit nur einem
Klick werden Alt-Texte für viele Bilder gleichzeitig generiert – schnell, zuverlässig
und kinderleicht. Sehr zu empfehlen.

### 󠀁[Auto Alt Text Generator in Bulk](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-alt-text-generator-in-bulk/)󠁿

 [ishitadamini](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ishitadamini/) August 13, 2025

I’ve been using the Automatic Alt Text Generator for Images plugin on my WooCommerce
store, and it’s been a game-changer. During the free trial, I could test it out 
and decide which package worked best for my needs. With just one click, it generates
SEO-friendly alt text and detailed image descriptions for all my product images.
The bulk processing feature saved me hours of manual work, and I love that I can
customize keywords and descriptions to match my brand. It’s fast, accurate, and 
makes my shop more accessible while boosting my SEO. Highly recommended!
