AltGen review
A bulk-focused alt text generator with scraping, CSV workflows, APIs, and webhooks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
AltGen is an AI-powered alt text generator for individuals, growing teams, and organizations managing image catalogs. It supports a web dashboard and API workflows, with bulk image uploads, CSV import and export, and a page scraper for discovering images. Alt text can be generated in 30 languages, while industry presets and four writing styles help shape output for different publishing needs. An image library with review and editing tools adds a human review step before content moves into a broader workflow.
The published plans show a useful free entry point. Free includes all languages, bulk upload, CSV import, page scraping, API access, and webhooks. Pro costs $29 per month and lists the same highlights, making the paid tier less differentiated in the published plan summary. The Need More? option is aimed at organizations with higher volume or more specific operational requirements, adding custom integrations, dedicated support, a custom SLA, SSO and team management, and white-label options.
AltGen’s strongest fit is for teams that need to process image catalogs through scraper-based or file-based workflows rather than generate individual descriptions one image at a time. API keys and webhooks can connect generation events to a CMS, upload pipeline, or other application, while CSV export supports review and downstream handling. The trade-off is ecosystem breadth: no verified integrations are listed, so teams seeking ready-made connections may need to plan around the API, CSV, or custom-integration route. Choose AltGen for bulk processing and workflow control; consider an alternative if prebuilt integrations are central to the buying decision.
