Overview

Having trouble coming up with alternative text to add to your image? ASU's Image Accessibility Creator tool can be used to generate alt text from any given image using AI technology. 

Benefits: 

• Generate alt text that meets accessibility standards
• Upload any image file for generating 
• Copy and paste the alt text result into your image 

How to use this tool

1. Before opening the tool, save the images you wish to generate alt text for into your desired file. 
2. Next, click here to open the creator tool. 
3. Under image and details, select browse files to search for the desired image, or drag and drop the file. 
   
4. Once your image has appeared, scroll down and select "Create Image Details" 
5. Under "Image Breakdown" it may show a long description, alt text, or transcribed text option. We want to use what was generated under "Alt Text" 
6. If the generated alt text appears to be adequate, simply copy it, and paste where you wish to add alt text. 

What if my generated alt text seems wrong or inaccurate?

If the generated text does not match the image you entered, or you would like to make your alt text more specific, there is a way to add detail before generating. 

1. Scroll down to "Create Image Details" 
2. Above, there will be a clickable box that says " Add details about the image" 
3. Select this box, and type your image details in the prompt. 
4. When you are done adding details, click "Create Image Details" once more to generate a smarter response.
