# Introduction

> AI-powered alt text generation — for any image, at any scale.

AltTextLab generates alt text for images using AI. Give it an image,
get back a ready-to-use description. Connect it to your CMS, call it from
your API, or use the browser extension — it fits into how you already work.

## Why AltTextLab

* **Accurate descriptions** — the AI understands image context, not just what's visible but what's relevant. No generic or repetitive output.
* **Any scale** — works for a single image or an entire media library of millions. The same engine handles both.
* **Fits your workflow** — connects to WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, and more. Or use the web snippet on any site without a plugin.
* **130+ languages** — generate alt text in the language your audience reads.
* **E-commerce mode** — uses product name, brand, color, and material to generate descriptions that help shoppers and search engines.
* **Writing style control** — choose the tone and level of detail that fits your content, from concise captions to detailed descriptions.

    Choose the option that fits your stack — an [integration](/docs/integrations/index), the [web snippet](/docs/web-snippet/index), or the [API](/docs/api/index). This is where the real time savings happen.

  <Step title="Configure language and style">
