EzAlt AI (by Lidor Asulin) improves SEO and accessibility by generating descriptive alt text for images with AI.

All plugin features are included. AI generation uses an external service with 5 free starter credits; optional credit packs add quota only — they do not unlock hidden features.

Highlights

Context-aware alt text (parent post title, content type, taxonomies — including WooCommerce product price, SKU, and attributes)
Bulk generation for images missing alt text
Bulk run report — generated count, failures, credits used, and timing
Per-image generation from the Media Library
Optional automatic generation on upload
Does not overwrite existing alt text
Credits deducted only after successful generation
Idempotent API requests — retries never double-charge
Purchase-intent routing so bought credits reach the correct WordPress site

External Services

This plugin relies on external services to generate alt text. By activating or using this plugin, you agree to the terms and privacy policies listed below.

EzAlt Proxy API

The plugin sends requests to the EzAlt proxy API at https://ezalt.ez-site.com.

Used for: AI alt text generation, credit balance sync, and purchase-intent registration.

Data sent and when:

On alt text generation (bulk, auto-upload, or Media Library): base64-encoded image content (HTTPS), filename, MIME type, site URL, Freemius install ID (when available), unique request ID, site language, and optional parent-post context (title, categories; for WooCommerce products also price, SKU, and attribute values).
On credit sync (admin dashboard load and periodic polling): site URL and Freemius install ID.
On “Buy Credits” click only (before Freemius checkout opens): site URL, Freemius user ID, Freemius install ID (when available), and selected plan ID. No payment or card data is sent by the plugin.
Only if you submit the in-plugin feedback form (“Not happy? Tell us why”): your typed message, the reply email you optionally provide, site URL, Freemius install ID (when available), and WordPress/PHP/plugin version — used solely to review your feedback and, if you left an email, to reply.

OpenRouter API (AI Image Analysis)

Image data received by the EzAlt proxy is forwarded to OpenRouter, which routes requests to vision AI models to produce descriptive alt text.

Data sent: Image content and generation parameters forwarded by the EzAlt proxy during alt text requests only.

Service URL: https://openrouter.ai

Privacy Policy: https://openrouter.ai/privacy

Freemius (Checkout for Optional Credit Packs)

Data sent: Standard Freemius licensing/checkout data when you interact with credit purchase flows.

FAQ.KG

Is any feature locked behind a paid plan?: No. Bulk, auto-upload, and Media Library generation work with the free starter credits. Credit packs only add external AI service quota (WordPress.org Guideline 6 serviceware).
Does it overwrite existing alt text?: No. Images that already have alt text are skipped.
Can it generate alt text automatically on upload?: Yes. Enable “Enable automatic AI alt text generation on upload” under Media EzAlt AI.
Can I generate alt text for one image?: Yes. Open an image in the Media Library and use Generate alt text in the EzAlt AI field.
How do purchased credits reach my site?: Click a Buy Credits button on Media EzAlt AI before completing Freemius checkout. That registers a purchase intent so credits apply to the correct site.
Does bulk generation require Action Scheduler or WooCommerce?: No. EzAlt AI uses WordPress built-in cron.
Are images sent to an external server?: Yes. See the External Services section below.
