Automatically generate descriptive alt text for images to improve accessibility and image SEO.

== Description ==

Smart Alt Fixer helps WordPress site owners improve image accessibility and SEO by automatically generating descriptive alternative text (alt attributes) for images in the Media Library.

Missing alt text can negatively affect screen reader accessibility and image search visibility. This plugin assists by scanning your existing images and generating relevant, human-readable descriptions using AI-based image analysis.

Smart Alt Fixer is designed to support accessibility best practices and reduce the manual effort required to maintain descriptive alt text across large image libraries.

* Scan your Media Library for images without alt text
* Automatically generate descriptive alt attributes
* WooCommerce product image support
* Bulk processing with background tasks
