Hey folks :waving_hand:

I’ve been working on a little side project that came from a real pain I kept seeing — alt text.

Between SEO and accessibility, it’s super important, but when you’re running a store with hundreds of product images, writing unique, useful alt text just doesn’t happen. I figured there had to be a better way.

So I built AltSeo – Alt Text AI Generator. It uses AI to write descriptive, keyword-friendly alt text for your product images. You can process everything in bulk, keep things updated automatically, and even tweak the wording to match your brand.

I’m not here to pitch — I’d just love to get some feedback from real store owners.
If this sounds useful, I’m offering 500 free credits to the first 20 people who want to try it out. Just DM me or look up AltSeo on the App Store. Thanks for reading :folded_hands:

Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply, really appreciate it! :raising_hands:
Totally agree, alt text tends to get overlooked, especially for larger stores. That’s exactly what inspired me to build this tool.

If you’re up for trying it out, just search for AltSeo on the Shopify App Store, you’ll get 500 free credits to test it out. Would love to hear what you think once you’ve had a chance to play with it!
