Update the alt text of generated images

PROMPTit Best practices

New images get a basic alt text; replace it with a real description for SEO and accessibility.

PROMPTit focuses on the image itself. Each new image is saved with a basic alt text such as Featured image for product …, which is not useful for shoppers or search engines.

  • Open the product with Edit in Shopify from the task details.
  • Click the new image and choose to add or edit its alt text.
  • Describe what the image shows, for example Oak side table with ceramic vase in a bright living room.

Start with your best-selling products and their featured images. Good alt text helps image search, Google Shopping and shoppers who use screen readers.
