ImgSEO – AI Image Alt Text Generator & Image SEO Tools

Beschreibung

ImgSEO automates complete alt text and metadata optimization for WordPress. Unlike basic AI tools that only analyze images, ImgSEO combines advanced computer vision with intelligent page context analysis to generate truly accurate and relevant metadata.

What Makes ImgSEO Different?

🧠 Context-Aware Intelligence
ImgSEO doesn’t just „see“ your images—it understands them in context by analyzing:
* Page title, headings, and surrounding content
* Existing filenames and metadata
* WooCommerce product data (for e-commerce sites)
* Custom AI prompts with brand keywords

This context awareness produces descriptions that actually match your content, not generic AI guesses.

⚡ Ultra-Fast Bulk Processing
* Process 1000+ images in minutes with parallel processing
* Up to 16x faster than sequential methods (configurable speed modes)
* Handle massive libraries without memory issues (paginated 100 images/batch)
* Background processing with pause/resume capability

📦 Complete Automation
* Alt text, title, caption & description – All metadata from one generation
* Smart file renaming – DSC_0001.jpg summer-collection-red-dress.jpg with automatic reference updates
* JSON-LD Schema Markup – Schema.org ImageObject for rich search results
* XML Image Sitemaps – Automated generation with scheduled updates (hourly/daily/weekly)

🚀 Performance Optimized
Version 2.2 includes major optimizations specifically for large sites:
* 73% reduction in database queries (from ~150 to ~40 per page)
* 50-60% less memory usage in bulk operations
* Smart thumbnail fallback for images >3MB (70-90% bandwidth reduction)
* Automatic base64 fallback for CDN/hotlink-protected sites

⚖️ Legal Compliance Made Easy

FAQ

Do I need an API key?

Yes. Registration is free and supplies 30 initial credits.

Which languages are supported?

More than 25, including English, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Japanese and Arabic.

Can I track what the AI generated?

Yes – the dashboard stores a per-image log with search and export.

How are credits consumed?

1 credit = 1 alt text or 1 filename.

How does the daily refill work?

If your balance is below 10 at 00:00 server time, we top you back up to 10.

Can I exclude decorative images?

NEXT UPGRADE: Sure – will mark decorative images or will set alt="" and ImgSEO will skip them.

Is AI output editable?

Always. You can tweak or overwrite the generated alt text in WordPress.

How does the AI determine what’s in the image?

ImgSEO uses advanced computer vision to identify objects, scenes, people, and actions in images. It combines this visual analysis with the surrounding page context (title, content) to create more relevant descriptions.

Will this plugin slow down my site?

No. The AI processing happens on our servers, not yours. The generated alt text and filenames are stored in your WordPress database just like regular metadata.

Can I use ImgSEO with WooCommerce?

Absolutely! ImgSEO works exceptionally well with e-commerce sites, where proper product image descriptions can significantly impact conversion rates and SEO.

Does ImgSEO work with page builders?

Yes, ImgSEO is compatible (this upgrade still in beta) with major page builders including Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and Gutenberg.

What is JSON-LD Schema Markup and why is it important?

JSON-LD Schema Markup is structured data that helps search engines understand your images better. ImgSEO automatically generates Schema.org ImageObject markup for your images, which can lead to enhanced search results, better indexing, and potentially rich snippets in Google search results.

How do XML Image Sitemaps work?

ImgSEO generates XML sitemaps specifically for your images, making it easier for search engines to discover and index them. The plugin offers automatic generation with configurable refresh schedules (hourly, daily, weekly) and smart notifications when updates are needed after new image additions.

How fast is the bulk processing?

Very fast! The plugin uses parallel processing with configurable speed modes:
Safe: 2 parallel requests
Normal: 4 parallel requests
Fast: 6 parallel requests
Ultra: 12 parallel requests
Insane: 16 parallel requests (up to 16x faster than sequential)

Processing happens in batches of 100 images to prevent memory issues on large libraries.

What happens if my site has hotlink protection or uses Cloudflare?

No problem! ImgSEO automatically detects 403 Forbidden errors, CDN blocks, and anti-bot protection. When detected, it switches to base64 encoding using WordPress thumbnails. You can also force base64 mode in settings for complete compatibility.

Can I undo file renames?

Yes! Every rename operation is logged in the database with full backup information. You can restore individual images or bulk restore from the rename logs page with one click.

Does renaming files break my posts and pages?

No. The plugin automatically updates all references in posts, pages, and custom post types when renaming files. It also updates all thumbnail sizes and WordPress metadata to prevent broken images.

How do I enable debug mode?

Add define('IMGSEO_DEBUG_MODE', true); to your wp-config.php file. This enables detailed logging to wp-content/debug.log and JavaScript console output for troubleshooting.

Will this work with large image libraries (10,000+ images)?

Yes! Version 2.1.5 includes major performance optimizations specifically for large libraries:
– Paginated processing (100 images per batch)
– 73% reduction in database queries
– 50-60% less memory usage
– Smart thumbnail fallback for images >3MB
– Query result caching with transients

Can I use this on client sites or for agencies?

Absolutely! The Cloud Dashboard supports team collaboration with multiple user accounts and API token management. You can manage tokens for multiple sites from one central location.

Does this affect my site’s loading speed?

No. All AI processing happens on ImgSEO’s servers, not yours. The plugin only stores the generated text in your WordPress database like regular metadata. Version 2.1.5 actually improves performance by reducing database queries by 73%.

What image formats are supported?

All standard WordPress image formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF. The plugin works with any image format that WordPress can handle.

Is my data secure?

Yes. The plugin implements multiple security measures:
API Key Protection: Keys stored securely in WordPress options, never exposed in logs
Rate Limiting: Maximum 5 API verification attempts per 10 minutes per user
Path Validation: All file operations validate paths are within upload directory
AJAX Nonce Verification: All AJAX requests require WordPress nonce tokens
Permission Checks: User capability checks on all file operations
No Personal Data: Only image content is transmitted to ImgSEO servers, no user data

The plugin passes WordPress Coding Standards (PHPCS) validation and follows WordPress security best practices.

A plugin that marries certified accessibility (European Accessibility Act) with top-tier SEO performance: not only does it adhere to European standards for users with disabilities, but it also propels your site to the top of search results. This plugin is so helpful, well-constructed and smart that now I can’t even image working without it! I purchased a pack to support the plugin’s development and to receive additional credits for a better experience. I strongly recommend ImgSEO to everyone!
