Image Alt Text Checker

Find every image missing alt text — before Google does.

Paste a page's HTML — in your browser: right-click the page → View Page Source, then copy all.

Paste your HTML above to audit your image alt text.

Alt text is how images communicate to people using screen readers and to search engines indexing your page. A missing alt attribute means both fall back to the file name. Paste your HTML and this tool lists every image with its alt text, flagging what's missing, what's empty, and what's too long to be useful.

How the Alt Text Checker works

The tool parses your markup locally and reads the alt attribute of every image element. Missing alt attributes are errors. An empty alt is correct — but only for purely decorative images, where it tells a screen reader to skip the image entirely. Anything over about 125 characters gets flagged because screen readers may cut it off and overlong alt text usually means you're writing a caption.

Example

A page with 12 images, 3 of which have no alt attribute.

The checker reports 12 images, 3 missing alt, and lists exactly which ones so you can fix them.

Frequently asked questions

Describe what the image conveys in the context of the page, in a sentence or less. 'Bar chart showing organic traffic tripling between January and June' beats 'chart' or 'seo-graph-final-v2.png'. Skip 'image of' — screen readers already announce that it's an image.
