Alt Text Bulk Edit
This module allows you to efficiently review and edit the alternative text for media images in bulk. You can either make changes directly within the Drupal interface or export/import alt text using a CSV spreadsheet, which is particularly useful for content editors needing to update many images.
Review and edit the alternative text of media images in bulk within the website, or export/import via spreadsheet. This module is intended for content editors who need to remediate many instances of media alt text.
Bulk edit through the site interface
- After installing the module, go to Content > Media > Bulk edit alt text (
/admin/content/media/alt-text). - Rewrite the alt text for as many items as desired, select the checkbox associated with those items, and run "Bulk update alt text on selected media."
Bulk edit through CSV export/import
- To export a full archive of site media with alt text as a CSV file, go to Content > Media > Bulk edit alt text > Export CSV (
/admin/content/media/alt-text/export) - Either manually update the alt text in a spreadsheet application, or upload the data into an alt text generating service such as https://alttext.ai.
- Import the updated CSV at Content > Media > Bulk edit alt text > Import from CSV (
/admin/content/media/alt-text/import)
Additional Requirements
This module assumes the use of the Drupal "Media" module. It is not for editing alt text of images uploaded via other means.
Related modules/libraries
Another method for bulk editing alt text is provided by the AI Image Alt Text module, which includes a sub-module, ai_image_bulk_alt_text, for bulk-generating alt text using a pre-configured LLM engine. That module's interface requires generating alt text item by item, using a button adjacent to individual media items on the editing form.
