WriteAlt – AI Alt Text & SEO

No security coverage Drupal 10–11
View on drupal.org

WriteAlt automatically generates descriptive alternative text for images and optimizes them directly within Drupal's Media workflow. It supports multiple languages, writing styles, and keywords, saving the generated text to Drupal's native fields without creating duplicate files.

WriteAlt helps Drupal site owners generate useful alternative text for images and improve image performance directly inside the Drupal Media workflow.

Features

  • Generate alt text for Drupal Media image fields.
  • Save generated text to Drupal’s native Alternative text field.
  • Generate text in 138 languages.
  • Choose from five writing styles and add optional keywords.
  • Generate alt text for individual images or multiple images at once.
  • Optimize supported JPEG, PNG, and WebP images in place.
  • Keep the same Drupal file entity and avoid duplicate files.
  • Use image-size filters to find files that may benefit from optimization.

Post-Installation

After enabling WriteAlt, go to Configuration → Media → WriteAlt settings. Add a WriteAlt API key, select the generation language and writing style, optionally add keywords, and save the settings.

Grant the Use WriteAlt permission to the roles that should generate alt text or optimize images. Users also need permission to update the relevant Media items.

Open the WriteAlt tools from the administration menu or use the Generate alt text and Optimize image buttons on Drupal Media upload forms. Generated text is inserted into Drupal’s native Alternative text field and must be saved with the Media item.

Additional Requirements

  • Drupal 10.3 or Drupal 11.
  • Drupal core File, Image, and Media modules.
  • A WriteAlt API key.
  • Server access to the WriteAlt API.
  • PHP GD for image optimization.
