Preparing your workspace
Image Alt Tag Checker helps you quickly evaluate the quality and completeness of ALT text across your HTML. Paste any snippet or block of HTML containing <img> tags and the tool will parse each image, detect whether the alt attribute is missing or empty, flag generic or unhelpful phrases (such as “image”, “photo”, or “logo”), and identify duplicate ALT values that may harm accessibility and dilute SEO relevance. It returns a concise list of images with their ALT text, a practical issue list, and a simple 0–100 score that reflects overall health. The design encourages clear, descriptive ALT text that communicates image purpose and content without redundancy. The tool is fast, stateless, and ideal for pre‑publish checks and audits. An optional AI Assistant (manual trigger) generates a short, prioritized plan focused on clarity, deduplication, and appropriate empty ALT usage.
Note: AI can make mistakes, so please double-check it.

Image Alt Tag Checker is a focused utility that analyzes the <img> elements in your HTML and evaluates the quality of their alt attributes.

Results include a concise list of images with their ALT text, a practical issue list, and a simple 0–100 score you can use to prioritize fixes. The goal is to help you produce clear, descriptive ALT text that communicates image purpose and content to assistive technologies and improves overall on‑page clarity.
Paste any HTML snippet or block containing images and run the check. The parser scans each tag, captures the src and alt values, and computes a health score based on detected issues. The scoring is intentionally lightweight: points are deducted for missing attributes, empty strings, suspicious wording, and heavy duplication. Use the score as a triage signal during content reviews, not as a ranking metric. Because this tool is stateless and fast, it fits easily into editorial workflows: check drafts before publishing, audit templates, or verify that CMS output matches accessibility expectations.
