What is Image Alt Text?

[WoodsPainting]

Alt text or alternate text is an attribute added to an image tag in HTML. This text appears inside the image container when the image can not be displayed. It helps search engines understand what an image is about. Alternate text is also very helpful in case images on a page cannot be found.

Google Bots cannot process images on the web. Therefore, it makes use of the alt attributes to understand what an image is all about.

The Image Alt text is generally considered as an alternate text for an image, which provides a textual alternative to the web crawlers to index the web page bearing the image.
