AltCraft AI<\/strong> looks at every image in your Media Library and writes accurate, natural ALT text for it \u2013 the kind that helps screen-reader users and ranks in Google Images. Bring your own Google Gemini or OpenAI API key; everything else is included, with no upsells.<\/p>\n\n Only a downscaled copy of the image (max 1024 px) and a little context (the related product\/post title, product categories and SKU, your brand keywords, the filename) is sent to the AI provider you choose. In \"Filename only\" mode the image itself is never sent. No user data, no site URL and no other content leaves your site. Nothing is sent until you add an API key. The plugin does not phone home to Cubixsol and contains no tracking.<\/p>\n\n This plugin sends images to an AI service to describe them. It only does so once a provider has been set up and only when ALT text is generated (on upload, from the Generate buttons, from the bulk scanner or from the nightly cron). There are three ways to set up a provider:<\/p>\n\n WordPress AI Client<\/strong> (WordPress 7.0+) \u2013 when this option is selected, the request is handed to the WordPress core AI Client, which routes it to whichever AI provider the site owner has configured under Settings \u2192 Connectors<\/em> (for example the official AI Provider for Google \/ OpenAI \/ Anthropic plugins). This plugin does not store or transmit credentials in this mode; the terms and privacy policy of the provider configured there apply.<\/p>\n\n Google Gemini API<\/strong> (Google LLC) \u2013 used when \"Google Gemini\" is the selected provider. The plugin sends a resized copy of the image (omitted in \"Filename only\" mode), the generation prompt (including the related post\/product title, categories, SKU, brand keywords and filename hint) and your API key to OpenAI API<\/strong> (OpenAI, L.L.C.) \u2013 used when \"OpenAI\" is the selected provider. The plugin sends the same data to You are responsible for the usage costs and for complying with the provider's terms.<\/p>\n\n\n On WordPress 7.0 or newer, the WordPress AI Client is the recommended choice: install one of the official AI Provider<\/em> plugins (Google, OpenAI or Anthropic), add the key once under Settings \u2192 Connectors<\/em>, and every AI-capable plugin on the site \u2013 including this one \u2013 uses it. Choose Google Gemini or OpenAI directly if your site runs an older WordPress version or you want a separate key and billing for image ALT text.<\/p><\/dd>\n Google Gemini keys are created in Google AI Studio (aistudio.google.com\/apikey) and include a free tier. OpenAI keys are created at platform.openai.com\/api-keys and are billed per use.<\/p><\/dd>\n Not unless you tell it to. Automatic generation (upload and nightly cron) only fills empty ALT text by default. Turn on Overwrite existing ALT<\/em> in the settings, or choose Every image<\/em> in the bulk scanner, to rewrite everything. The Generate buttons always regenerate the image you clicked.<\/p><\/dd>\n A copy no larger than 1024 px on its longest side, usually one of the thumbnail sizes WordPress already created. Your original file is never uploaded. Use the Yes. Set What the AI looks at<\/em> to Filename only<\/em>. The plugin then sends just the cleaned-up filename and the related post\/product title, so the AI can only describe what the name implies. Descriptive filenames ( The image upload from your server to the provider took too long, usually because the image is large and the hosting has limited outbound bandwidth. The plugin normally sends a small thumbnail; if WordPress could not create thumbnails for that image (common with very large PNGs on low-memory hosting) the original file is sent instead. Raise the request timeout under Settings \u2192 Advanced<\/em>, regenerate thumbnails for the image, or upload a smaller copy.<\/p><\/dd>\n The provider retired the model you selected. Open the settings, pick a newer model from the list (or enter any model ID in the custom field), test the connection and save.<\/p><\/dd>\n Real generation uploads a copy of your image; normally a 768\u20131024 px thumbnail. When WordPress could not create thumbnails for an image (large PNGs on hosts with a low memory limit, or servers without GD\/Imagick) the plugin sends the original instead, which can be several megabytes and may not upload within the timeout. Check Settings \u2192 Advanced \u2192 Server capabilities<\/em>, regenerate thumbnails for the affected images (or raise the PHP memory limit), or increase Request timeout<\/em> under Advanced. The connection test now sends a small image through the same pipeline, so a passing test means the key, model and vision support are all fine.<\/p><\/dd>\n WebP copies are always created safely. Serving<\/em> them swaps image URLs when the visitor's browser sends Yes: Settings, transients and scheduled events are always removed. Generated ALT text, titles and captions stay in your Media Library. WebP copies and generation logs are deleted only if you enable Clean up on uninstall<\/em> in the Advanced tab first.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nWhat it does<\/h4>\n\n
\n
.webp<\/code> version of the original and every thumbnail size (originals are never modified) and can optionally serve them to browsers that support WebP. Copies are removed when you delete the image.<\/li>\nPrivacy<\/h4>\n\n

Should I use the WordPress AI Client or my own API key?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Where do I get an API key?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Does it overwrite ALT text I wrote myself?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Which image is sent to the AI?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
altcraft_ai_max_image_dimension<\/code> filter to change the size.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan I avoid sending my images to the AI at all?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
red-leather-handbag.jpg<\/code>) work well; camera names (IMG_4821.jpg<\/code>) on images that are not attached to anything are skipped with a clear message.<\/p><\/dd>\nI get \"The AI provider did not respond within 60 seconds\".<\/h3><\/dt>\n
The bulk scanner says \"model not found\".<\/h3><\/dt>\n
I get \"cURL error 28 \u2026 timed out\" but the connection test works.<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Does WebP delivery work with caching plugins and CDNs?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Accept: image\/webp<\/code>, so a full-page cache must vary its cache by the Accept header (the plugin sends a Vary: Accept<\/code> header to help). If your CDN already converts images to WebP, leave delivery off.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan I hard-code the API key in wp-config.php?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
