Alt Text and Caption Generator for Local Business Photos

Yes. It is free, there is no signup, and there is no daily limit. Everything runs in your browser from a set of written templates, so nothing you type is sent to a server. You can use it for one photo or paste a few hundred file names in bulk mode and download the results as a CSV file.

No. It does not see your image at all. It fills proven sentence patterns with your business name, service, city and the detail you type. That keeps it fast and private, but it also means you must check each line against the real photo. If the template says technician and the photo shows a van, change it.

Aim for one plain sentence, usually under 125 characters. Many screen readers handle longer text fine, but short alt text is easier to listen to and keeps you focused on the main subject. The tool counts characters and words for every option and flags anything over 125 so you can trim it before you publish.

Only when it is true and helpful. A photo taken on a real job in Henderson, NV can say so once. Do not paste the city into every image on the site, and never add towns you did not work in. Google reads alt text with the page around it, so a service area page already gives the location context.

Alt text is read aloud by screen readers and used by search engines to understand the image. The title attribute shows as a small tooltip on hover in some browsers and carries little weight. A caption is visible text under the photo that every visitor reads. This tool writes all three so you can use whichever your site supports.

Try not to. Ten photos with the same line tell a screen reader user nothing new, and it looks lazy to search engines. Add the detail that makes each photo different, such as the brand of the unit, the room or the step of the job. Bulk mode varies the wording per file, but the detail still has to come from you.

No. Background patterns, dividers and stock textures should use an empty alt attribute, written as alt="". That tells screen readers to skip them. Save real alt text for photos that carry meaning, like job photos, team shots, your storefront and products. Writing keyword alt text for decorative images is one of the fastest ways to look spammy.

It splits the name on dashes, underscores and spaces, drops numbers and words like final or edit, and looks for a two letter state code at the end. The word before the state becomes the city, so ac-repair-henderson-nv.jpg gives AC repair in Henderson, NV. Names like IMG_2041 fall back to the form fields and get a rename warning.
