Alt text FAQ
Short answers about product image alt text for accessibility, SEO, and manual ecommerce updates.
Can AI write alt text for Shopify product photos?
Yes. ListingKit uses the product image and structured store context to draft copy-ready alt text you can review and paste manually into Shopify.
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.
