Alt text checker for image-heavy pages
Use this when a page includes screenshots, charts, workflow visuals, or product images and you want to catch missing or weak alt text before the page goes live.
Smaller and faster than a full audit
Broad SEO tools often mix image checks into a long report. This page keeps the image list, alt text signals, and exportable review notes together in one browser-side workflow.
Fits the existing FreelTools SEO stack
Run it after the On-Page SEO Checker or Heading Hierarchy Checker so your metadata, headings, links, and image descriptions are all reviewed before publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an image alt text checker do?▾
It extracts images from pasted HTML and shows whether alt attributes are missing, empty, generic, duplicated, or likely to need a better description before publishing.
Should every image have alt text?▾
Important content images usually should. Decorative images can intentionally use an empty alt value, but missing alt attributes are still worth reviewing.
What counts as weak alt text?▾
Generic values like image, photo, screenshot, or picture rarely help users or search engines understand the image. Alt text should describe the image purpose when it matters.
Can duplicate alt text be a problem?▾
Yes. Repeating the same alt text across different images can hide what each image actually shows and reduce clarity for screen-reader users.
When should I use this tool?▾
Use it before publishing a new page, after inserting screenshots or charts, or when you are tightening an existing page for on-page SEO and accessibility.
