Platform guidance
ListingKit generates copy-ready alt text you can paste manually after review.
Include handmade, vintage, color, or material cues only when visible or supplied as product context.
Keep the first words descriptive so the listing image makes sense outside the page.
Use accessibility-first copy for detail shots where texture or construction matters.

Alt text FAQ
Short answers about product image alt text for accessibility, SEO, and manual ecommerce updates.
Should product alt text include keywords?
Use one relevant keyword only when it naturally matches the visible product. Avoid keyword stuffing and keep the description useful for accessibility.
Does ListingKit automatically update my store?
Not yet. ListingKit generates copy-ready alt text you can paste manually into your store, marketplace listing, or product image CMS field.
Should every product image have alt text?
Product photos that help buyers understand an item should have descriptive alt text. Purely decorative images can use empty alt text when your platform supports it.
