Hello friends,

What is the use of ALT value in image tag?

[jayam]

The required alt attribute specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image cannot be displayed. The alt attribute provides alternative information for an image if a user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).

The <img> alt attribute is used to specify the alternate text for an image.
It is useful when the image not displayed.

ALT Tag is used for Image optimization

An alt tag, also known as "alt attribute" and "alt description," is an HTML attribute applied to image tags to provide a text alternative for search engines. Applying images to alt tags such as product photos can positively impact an ecommerce store's search engine rankings.

Alt-text is the written copy that appears in place of an image on a webpage if the image fails to load on a user's screen. This text helps screen-reading tools describe images to visually impaired readers and allows search engines to better crawl and rank your website

It is used to display the name of the image, when you hovee your mouse over the image. In some cases a broken image may show due to various reasons, thus at that point alt helps to identify the tag of that particular image.
