AltTextAPI review
A practical alt-text API with multilingual output, automation, and accessibility scoring.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
AltTextAPI generates alternative text for images through a REST API, JavaScript widget, and WordPress plugin. It is aimed at website owners, bloggers, ecommerce teams, developers, and agencies that need to add or improve image descriptions across publishing workflows. The product can generate text on image upload, process existing image libraries in bulk, apply contextual keywords, produce multilingual output, and return results through the API or insert them into websites.
The plan structure supports both evaluation and scaled use. Free includes AI-generated alt text, REST API access, usage statistics, API key management, and English output. Pro costs $9 per month and adds 1,000 images per month, 130+ languages, custom keywords, and email support. Business costs $19 per month for 5,000 images, everything in Pro, and priority support. Agency costs $49 per month and adds unlimited images and white-label readiness. The main distinction between tiers is image capacity, while multilingual generation and custom keywords begin with Pro.
AltTextAPI fits teams that want programmatic generation alongside website-level automation. Its listed integrations include WordPress, WooCommerce, the JavaScript widget, and the REST API, giving developers and content teams several ways to add generated text. WCAG-oriented validation and accessibility scoring make it more than a description generator for teams checking image accessibility. However, its platform and integration coverage is focused rather than broad. Choose it when API access, bulk processing, multilingual output, and validation matter; consider another product if your workflow depends on a wider ecosystem of native integrations.
