The problem it solves

Product images without alt text hurt your search rankings and make your store harder to use for people relying on screen readers. With hundreds or thousands of products, checking each image by hand isn't realistic, especially for older or bulk-imported items. Gaps like this tend to pile up quietly.

Who it fits

An online retailer running a Magento store with a large product catalog.

How it works

  1. The system checks your product catalog for images
  2. It finds any image missing alt text
  3. The product name is set as the alt text for that image
  4. The updated image data is saved back to your store
What you get

Product images that always have alt text

Any product image missing alt text automatically gets the product name filled in across your store.

What you get

A product catalog where every image has proper alt text, ready for the next SEO or accessibility check.

What you need

A Magento store with REST API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
