How do I generate alt text from a DeepSeek-style description?
Describe the image above and hit Generate. You'll get plain, concise alt text with no stray formatting.
Do I upload the image to this tool?
No. This site doesn't process images. You describe it, and the tool writes alt text from that description.
Is it free?
Yes: 5 free runs every 24 hours, no account needed and nothing at all to sign up for first.
Why does DeepSeek leave asterisks in its answers?
It formats with markdown bold markers by default in chat, and they sometimes get copied straight into an alt attribute.
Why does DeepSeek add an "Alt text:" label?
It's a common chat habit, framing the suggested text with a label. That label adds characters if left in.
What is alt text actually for?
It's an accessibility feature. A screen reader announces it in place of the image, so it should describe function, not appearance.
What alt text should a decorative image have?
An empty alt attribute, alt="", so a screen reader skips it instead of announcing something a listener doesn't need.
How should alt text describe a chart?
Name the actual data or trend, not just the chart type.
Does good alt text help SEO?
It can help image search, but it isn't a broad ranking factor. Write it for the listener, not to stuff a keyword in.
Is my description sent anywhere?
It's sent to our AI server to generate the alt text, not used to train models.
Does the output include an "Alt text:" label?
No, just the plain alt text.
How's this different from the generic AI alt text generator?
Same tool, tuned around DeepSeek's specific formatting habits rather than a generic model's.
What if the image is also a link?
Describe where it goes or what it does, not just what it looks like.
Can I run a batch of images through it?
One at a time, within your 5 runs per 24 hours.
Will it give the same alt text twice?
Not reliably, the output can vary somewhat from one run to the next, even on identical input.
Is there an API?
Not yet, just one image at a time per run, within the daily allowance.
Does it work for descriptions in other languages?
Built mainly for English; other languages may work but aren't held to the same standard of quality.
What happens after all 5 runs?
You'll see when the next one opens up, automatically, 24 hours after the run that used it.
Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes, it works fully in any modern mobile browser, on phone or tablet alike.
Should I still check the alt text myself?
Yes, confirm nothing stray is left over, no asterisk, no leftover label, before it goes anywhere near your actual alt attribute.
Does this guarantee accessibility compliance?
No. It can produce genuinely useful alt text from a good description, but compliance depends on the actual result, not on a tool having generated it.
What's the difference between the alt text generator and the meta description generator?
This writes the accessible text for an image. The meta description generator writes the summary line under a page's title, a different job entirely.
