2. The Problem: your content's blind spot

You're a web professional: a meticulous WordPress freelance, a digital agency focused on client performance, or an e-commerce owner devoted to user experience. You invest in quality content, keyword optimisation and a flawless page structure. You instinctively know that every image on your site must have a descriptive, semantically rich alternative text (alt attribute). It's a fundamental Google recommendation for ranking, and a non-negotiable accessibility requirement under the WCAG standards.

Yet the relentless pace of content production and the management of multiple WordPress sites make this task time-consuming and repetitive. Faced with dozens — even hundreds — of images per project, manually adding relevant alt text is frequently pushed aside, rushed, or plainly ignored. The result: empty alt attributes, generic descriptions, or worse, recycled uninformative filenames (alt="my-lovely-product-image-v2.jpg") that bring no value to search engines or to screen reader users.

This neglect has direct, measurable consequences:

• Lost SEO traffic: You miss a significant opportunity to rank your images in Google Images, a source of qualified and often underexploited traffic. According to a Moz study, properly optimised images can generate up to 10% of a website's organic traffic.
• Excluding users: Visually impaired people who use screen readers are deprived of the essential visual context of your pages, considerably degrading their experience and leaving your site non-compliant with accessibility standards. Digital accessibility observatories consistently find that a large majority of sites fail the criteria, particularly on images.
• Exponential workload: The more your site grows, the more "technical debt" and "accessibility debt" accumulate, making retroactive manual compliance nearly impossible and demoralising.

Alternatives on the market are often limited. Some plugins merely automate basic descriptions from filenames, with no real semantic intelligence. Other services rely on opaque credit systems that generate unpredictable and prohibitive costs for image-heavy sites. Lack of time and capable tooling should no longer stand in the way of a fairer, better-indexed web. That is precisely the problem AIFORYA built Alt Text Generator to solve.

3. Key Features

AIFORYA Alt Text Generator is a robust WordPress extension designed to intelligently automate the creation of alt text, giving you full control over the generation process and absolute transparency on costs.

AI Generation Through Precise Visual Analysis

• Description: At the heart of the extension, a state-of-the-art vision AI analyses the semantic content of every image. It doesn't just recognise isolated objects; it decodes actions, relationships between elements, spatial contexts and attributes to produce a natural, contextual description of remarkable precision.
• Concrete benefit: Say goodbye to alt="cat". You get rich descriptions such as alt="A green-eyed tabby cat, comfortably settled on a leather sofa, gazing out of the window.". This precision significantly improves your ranking on image searches and considerably enriches the experience of screen reader users, giving them a complete understanding of the visual content.
• BYOK integration: This feature harnesses the market's most advanced vision models — Anthropic's Anthropic, OpenAI's OpenAI, Google's Google, or DeepSeek — via your own API key, giving you access to the best technologies and optimal results, all at the lowest public cost.

Ultra-Fast Batch Processing

• Description: The extension scans your entire WordPress media library in one click to instantly identify every image that has no alt text or whose text is deemed insufficient. You then launch generation for the whole batch in the background (lots of 5 images via WP-Cron), sparing your server's resources and never blocking your WordPress admin interface. Filters by host type (post, page, product) and by date, cancellation at any time, and a final email report covering images processed, successes, errors, cost and duration.
• Concrete benefit: Bring an existing site with thousands of images into compliance in minutes, rather than devoting days of tedious manual work. This function is indispensable for SEO audits, site redesigns, or simply the bulk update of your existing content for accessibility and performance.

Contextual Analysis via the Page Content

• Description: AIFORYA Alt Text Generator analyses not only the image itself but also finds the host post, extracting its title, the nearest heading and the neighbouring paragraph. The AI uses this enriched textual context to sharpen its descriptions and anchor them in the topic of the section. When the context is particularly rich, the extension automatically upgrades to a finer vision model (this can be disabled) to raise quality further.
• Concrete benefit: A generic image showing a "rising chart" inserted in an article titled "Analysis of real estate market performance in 2026" will generate a precise alt text such as alt="Chart illustrating the annual growth of property prices over 2026.". For an e-commerce owner, a photo of a "watch" on a page called "Waterproof smartwatch" will yield alt="Waterproof smartwatch with colour touchscreen and black silicone strap.". This is the core difference against tools that describe images in isolation.

WCAG 2.2 Accessibility Audit

• Description: Beyond generation, the extension compares each image and its alt text against the WCAG 2.2 criteria (1.1.1, 1.4.5, 2.4.4) and returns a score from 0 to 100, the list of points to fix, and an improved alt suggestion applicable in one click. The result is stored for each image.
• Concrete benefit: You don't just have alt attributes: you know whether they are compliant. It's the ideal tool to prove a level of accessibility to a client or to prepare an audit — with guided correction rather than a plain diagnosis.
• BYOK integration: The audit relies on a vision model via your own API key, with no per-call surcharge imposed by AIFORYA.

Advanced Customisation of Instructions (Prompts)

• Description: For experienced users or those with specific needs, a dedicated interface lets you modify the instructions (prompts) sent to the AI. You can fine-tune the tone of the description, require the systematic inclusion of specific keywords, or set a particular output format (e.g. "always start with 'Photograph of…'"). The maximum length of the alt text is configurable too.
• Concrete benefit: Adapt the AI's output perfectly to your content strategy and brand identity. Whether you need a journalistic, marketing or strictly factual style, the extension bends to your requirements.

Deep WooCommerce Integration

• Description: The extension detects whether an image belongs to a product (parent, featured image or gallery) and enriches the context with the product name, category, tags, attributes, price and short description. It then switches to a transactional prompt geared towards conversion.
• Concrete benefit: Every product image becomes a powerful SEO and sales asset. An alt="White t-shirt." becomes alt="White organic cotton men's t-shirt with a round neck, ideal for summer.". Boost the visibility of your product pages and improve click-through rates on Google Shopping and Google Images.

4. Real-World Use Cases

AIFORYA Alt Text Generator is a versatile tool that adapts to the specific needs of different web professionals.

For the WordPress Freelance: Efficiency and Added Value

Sophie, a freelance WordPress developer, handles the design and maintenance of 8 varied client sites. Before AIFORYA, managing alt text was a tedious task, often minimised in quotes or ignored outright. Sophie had to spend hours describing images by hand, especially when taking on a new site with a well-stocked media library. With AIFORYA Alt Text Generator, she now launches an automated batch run in under 15 minutes for each new client. She can therefore offer an "Initial Image SEO & Accessibility Optimisation" service for 150-200€, raising the perceived value of her work while drastically cutting her time. For each new batch of images, one click of batch processing covers the whole site, letting her focus on more complex and creative work. She gains credibility, ensures better delivery quality, and generates additional revenue with almost no effort — turning a constraint into an opportunity.

For the Digital Agency: Performance, Consistency and Differentiation

DigitalUp, an agency of 5, specialises in building and maintaining more than 40 WordPress sites for SMEs. For DigitalUp, meeting accessibility standards and delivering advanced SEO have become major commercial arguments. Integrating AIFORYA Alt Text Generator into their development and release process was strategic. Every new site now ships with 100% of its images carrying relevant, optimised alt text — tangible proof of their commitment to excellence and compliance. That rigour clearly sets them apart from competing agencies. Internally, the team saves an average of 20 hours of work per month, precious time reallocated to higher-value tasks such as content strategy or building new features for their clients. The extension ensures consistent quality across every project managed, with no extra effort.

For the E-commerce Owner: Increased Visibility and Direct Sales

Marc runs "Cafés du Monde", his thriving WooCommerce store selling speciality coffee. His store hosts more than 400 images of products, plantations and blog articles. Organic traffic from Google Images was anecdotal before AIFORYA. After enabling batch processing in WooCommerce mode, his products' alt texts were enriched and became highly descriptive: alt="Bag of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee beans, light roast, single origin, 250g, ideal for espresso.". In just three months, Marc saw a 200% increase in his traffic from Google Images, translating into direct sales and qualified conversions for his niche products. Improved accessibility also widened his audience, reaching a more diverse and loyal customer base.

5. Transparent and Predictable Pricing

AIFORYA's business model is founded on clarity and control over your costs. You subscribe to a fixed monthly plan to use the extension, and you retain total control over your AI spending by using your own API key. This BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) approach eliminates intermediaries and surprises.

Your plan choice depends on the scope of your projects and the level of support you want:

Important note on the BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model: The subscription covers the software licence, updates and support. Your AI calls are billed separately and directly by the provider you choose (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek) to your personal account. This approach guarantees maximum transparency, since you benefit from public rates with no markup from AIFORYA. To give you an order of magnitude, analysing an image and generating its description with a powerful and economical model like Anthropic costs about 0.00025€ — so generating 1,000 alt texts would cost you roughly 0.25€. A site with intensive use rarely exceeds a few euros per month (generally between 2€ and 8€ in standard use). AIFORYA applies NO markup on your AI consumption, and no commission on your revenue. You pay the fair price, directly at the source.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

General AIFORYA Questions

1. How do I create my Anthropic (or OpenAI) API key? The process is straightforward and generally takes less than five minutes. Create an account on the platform of the AI provider of your choice (for example, Anthropic for Anthropic, OpenAI for OpenAI). Once logged into your dashboard, go to the "API Keys" section and generate a new key. AIFORYA's documentation provides direct links and detailed guides to walk you step by step through every provider.

2. Can I cancel my subscription at any time? Yes, all AIFORYA subscriptions are commitment-free. You are free to cancel with a single click from your client area. The extension remains fully functional until the end of the current billing period, guaranteeing you total flexibility.

3. How does the BYOK model work in practice? BYOK stands for "Bring Your Own Key". Rather than forcing you into an opaque and often costly "credit" system, AIFORYA asks you to insert your personal API key (a long string of characters) directly into the WordPress extension's settings. The extension then uses this key to establish secure communication directly with the AI provider on your behalf. This model gives you the provider's direct public rates, with no intermediary and no hidden markup, optimising your costs.

4. What are the actual AI costs to expect? AI usage costs are generally very low and strictly proportional to your consumption. As mentioned, analysing and generating an image description with a model like Anthropic costs about 0.00025€. So a volume of 1,000 alt texts generated would cost you roughly 0.25€. For the vast majority of sites, even active ones, monthly AI spending rarely exceeds a few euros, typically between 2€ and 8€ for standard use. You control your spending precisely.

5. Is my data stored by AIFORYA? No, categorically not. AIFORYA never stores your images, the generated alt texts, or any other sensitive data from your WordPress site. All communications take place directly and securely (via encrypted protocols) between your WordPress server and the AI provider you designated (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek). Your API key is stored encrypted inside your own WordPress database.

6. Is the extension compatible with Elementor / Divi / Breakdance? Yes, absolutely. AIFORYA Alt Text Generator operates at the level of WordPress's central media library. It is therefore natively compatible with all page builders (Elementor, Divi, Breakdance, Beaver Builder, etc.), themes and plugins that use the standard WordPress media system.

7. Is there a trial period? There is no trial period, but a Free plan lets you use one extension on one site for free, and subscriptions have no commitment — you can cancel anytime.

8. What happens if Anthropic changes its prices? Since you pay the AI provider directly, any price changes (up or down) immediately affect your consumption. This ensures you always benefit from the most current market rates, including the frequent price reductions that characterise the AI sector.

9. Can I use AIFORYA on multiple sites? Yes: the Pro plan covers 5 sites and the Agency plan an unlimited number of sites.

10. Does AIFORYA provide technical support? Absolutely. Responsive and competent technical support is systematically included in all AIFORYA subscriptions. The level of support is adapted to the chosen plan, ranging from standard email support to priority support, with dedicated support for Agency plan clients.

Specific Questions for Alt Text Generator

11. Can the extension overwrite alt texts I have already written? No. AIFORYA Alt Text Generator is non-destructive by default: batch processing targets only images without alt text and systematically skips those already filled in. Your editorial work is preserved. If you want to regenerate an existing description, trigger the generation image by image from the media library.

12. Which AI vision models are supported? The extension is compatible with the market's main vision models, renowned for their ability to analyse images finely: Anthropic's Anthropic family, OpenAI's OpenAI, Google's Google, as well as DeepSeek. The list of supported models is regularly updated to integrate the sector's best-performing innovations. Note: two complementary features — audio description and similarity search via embeddings — require an OpenAI key, whichever provider is active.

13. How does the extension handle purely decorative images? In line with accessibility best practice (WCAG), images whose only function is decorative must have an empty alt attribute (alt=""). Directly from the WordPress media library, the extension provides a "Mark as decorative" button that applies this specific attribute. This tells screen readers to ignore the image, ensuring smooth navigation for all users.

14. Does generation trigger automatically when an image is uploaded? No, and we prefer to say so plainly: you trigger the generation. Two modes exist and work today: image by image from the media library (one click on "Generate"), or in bulk across your whole library in a single pass. Each description is produced in a few seconds. Fully automatic triggering on upload is on our roadmap; in the meantime, batch processing covers exactly the same need — bringing an entire site up to standard, new imports included, in one click.

15. Can I use the extension on images hosted on an external CDN? Yes, that's entirely possible. As long as the image is correctly referenced in the WordPress media library, the extension will work. It transmits the image directly to the AI service you chose for analysis, without the image transiting through AIFORYA's servers.
