Purchase-intent routing so bought credits reach the correct WordPress site<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nExternal Services<\/h3>\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n
EzAlt Proxy API<\/h4>\n\n
The plugin sends requests to the EzAlt proxy API at https:\/\/ezalt.ez-site.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\nUsed for:<\/strong> AI alt text generation, credit balance sync, and purchase-intent registration.<\/p>\n\nData sent and when:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n- On alt text generation<\/strong> (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).<\/li>\n
- On credit sync<\/strong> (admin dashboard load and periodic polling): site URL and Freemius install ID.<\/li>\n
- On \u201cBuy Credits\u201d click only<\/strong> (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.<\/li>\n
- Only if you submit the in-plugin feedback form<\/strong> (\u201cNot happy? Tell us why\u201d): your typed message, the reply email you optionally provide, site URL, Freemius install ID (when available), and WordPress\/PHP\/plugin version \u2014 used solely to review your feedback and, if you left an email, to reply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Service URL:<\/strong> https:\/\/ezalt.ez-site.com\/ezalt-api\/<\/p>\n\nPrivacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/ezalt.ez-site.com\/privacy-policy<\/p>\n\nTerms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/ezalt.ez-site.com\/terms<\/p>\n\nOpenRouter API (AI Image Analysis)<\/h4>\n\n
Image data received by the EzAlt proxy is forwarded to OpenRouter, which routes requests to vision AI models to produce descriptive alt text.<\/p>\n\n
Data sent:<\/strong> Image content and generation parameters forwarded by the EzAlt proxy during alt text requests only.<\/p>\n\nService URL:<\/strong> https:\/\/openrouter.ai<\/p>\n\nPrivacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/openrouter.ai\/privacy<\/p>\n\nTerms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/openrouter.ai\/terms<\/p>\n\nFreemius (Checkout for Optional Credit Packs)<\/h4>\n\n
Freemius handles checkout for optional one-time credit packs. Freemius is not required to use the free starter credits or built-in features.<\/p>\n\n
Data sent:<\/strong> Standard Freemius licensing\/checkout data when you interact with credit purchase flows.<\/p>\n\nService URL:<\/strong> https:\/\/freemius.com<\/p>\n\nPrivacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/freemius.com\/privacy\/<\/p>\n\nTerms of Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/freemius.com\/terms\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n- Upload the plugin folder to
\/wp-content\/plugins\/ezalt-ai-image-alt-text\/<\/code><\/li>\n- Activate the plugin under Plugins<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Open Media \u2192 EzAlt AI<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Use your free starter credits, enable auto-upload, or start bulk generation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nIs any feature locked behind a paid plan?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. 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).<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it overwrite existing alt text?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Images that already have alt text are skipped.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can it generate alt text automatically on upload?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Enable \u201cEnable automatic AI alt text generation on upload\u201d under Media \u2192 EzAlt AI<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan I generate alt text for one image?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Open an image in the Media Library and use Generate alt text<\/strong> in the EzAlt AI field.<\/p><\/dd>\nHow do purchased credits reach my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\nClick a Buy Credits<\/strong> button on Media \u2192 EzAlt AI<\/strong> before completing Freemius checkout. That registers a purchase intent so credits apply to the correct site.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes bulk generation require Action Scheduler or WooCommerce?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. EzAlt AI uses WordPress built-in cron.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Are images sent to an external server?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. See the External Services<\/strong> section below.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n1.2.20<\/h4>\n\n\n- Changed: New sites receive 5 free starter credits (was 1) so merchants can properly try the product<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
