OpenAI Alternative Text Generator

Save time and improve accessibility with automatically generated alt text for your images in Craft CMS. Writing meaningful, descriptive alt text can be an arduous and time-consuming task, but it’s essential for accessibility and SEO.

The AI Content Writer plugin uses OpenAI’s image analysis models to generate high-quality alt text for your images with just one click. It helps ensure your site is more accessible while freeing your team from repetitive manual writing.

Why use this plugin?

• Accessibility compliance: Provide descriptive alt text for users relying on screen readers.

• SEO benefits: Search engines use alt text to understand and rank images.

• Time saver: Automatically generate alt text in bulk, rather than manually writing hundreds of descriptions.

How it works

1. Install the plugin in your Craft CMS site.

2. Configure your OpenAI API key in the plugin settings.

3. Allocate credits to your OpenAI account.

4. Select your images in the Craft CMS control panel and let the plugin generate descriptive alt text for you.

The plugin uses OpenAI’s vision API to analyse your images. Each image is converted into tokens, which are billed against your OpenAI account.

Example costs

OpenAI’s pricing is based on image size and token usage. For example, a 600×600 image costs around $0.00079 USD to process at the cheapest tier.

That means:

• $5 (approx. £4) worth of OpenAI credits would cover roughly 6,300 images.

(Prices are estimates and subject to change at the discretion of OpenAI.)

Setup requirements

• An OpenAI account

• An active API key

• Credits allocated to your account

Disclaimer

Generated alt text should always be reviewed by a human editor before publishing. While AI speeds up the process, it may not always perfectly capture context, tone, or specific brand requirements.
