Why is Alt Text Important?

Alt text is important for three main reasons: 1) Accessibility - Makes visual content accessible to visually impaired users who rely on screen readers. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 285 million people worldwide are visually impaired. 2) SEO Benefits - Helps search engines understand your images and improves your rankings in image search results, provides additional keyword opportunities, and improves relevance signals. 3) User Experience - Provides context when images fail to load due to slow connections or browser settings, ensuring users always understand what content should be displayed.

Alt text vs image descriptions

Alt text is a short, metadata-style description attached to an image that screen readers read out; sighted users usually don't see it. An image description is similar, but placed in the caption or post body so anyone can read it. Alt text is best kept concise (about 125 characters); image descriptions can be longer when extra detail is useful. Use both when you can: a short alt text for assistive tech, and a visible description in the caption for additional context. If you publish a longer description, label it clearly.
