Show HN: AI Describe Image – Automatically Generate Descriptions for Your Images
alttextgenerator.coHey HN,
I’m excited to share a tool I’ve been working on: AI Describe Image. It’s an AI-powered tool that automatically generates detailed descriptions for images. If you’re a content creator, marketer, or web developer, this tool can help streamline the process of creating image descriptions for blogs, websites, or social media.
What It Does:
Automatically generates descriptions for any image you upload. Designed to improve accessibility by providing descriptive text for images, ensuring that screen readers can convey the visual content to visually impaired users. Optimized for SEO: The descriptions are keyword-rich, helping your images rank higher in search engines. Batch processing available for creating multiple image descriptions at once, saving time for larger projects. Who Can Benefit:
Content creators who want to enhance their posts with context-rich image descriptions. E-commerce owners looking to optimize product listings by adding detailed descriptions to images. Marketers who need to boost SEO and engagement on visual-heavy social media campaigns. Developers focused on making websites more accessible while improving SEO performance. Key Features:
Easy image upload and description generation. Bulk processing for handling multiple images efficiently. Support for multiple languages, making it useful for international audiences. Designed with accessibility in mind, adhering to alt text best practices. Feel free to try it out! I’d love to hear any feedback or ideas for improvement.
I like it. It may be more useful as an API or with batch uploads
I checked, and you don't even have alt text for images on your own landing page.
I can see how this would be a huge time saver!
If folks are going to use this for alt text or other accessibility purposes, maybe it's worth including in that text (or somewhere on the webpage) that the description is AI generated. Blind folks choosing to use AI tools on their own can do so with an awareness that the AI may sometimes make errors or hallucinate things, or leave out important elements. They can then try to account for those pitfalls when making decisions based on the text.
When someone reads alt text direct from a website, they naturally assume it was written by an actual person and expect it to be faithful to the image, without these kinds of issues. So while it's much better to have alt text than not to have it, it seems important that it not be unintentionally misleading.
