The filename uses clear words separated with hyphens. The alt text describes the image instead of repeating keywords. The file has been compressed where appropriate. The image format suits the need, such as WebP or AVIF where available. Decorative images use an empty alt attribute. The image dimensions fit the space where it will appear.

Descriptions and files are processed only in your browser. No image or text is uploaded or stored.

Frequently asked

Questions about the Image SEO Helper

Does an image filename matter for SEO?

A clear filename gives extra context about the image. Use words that describe the visual and separate them with hyphens.

How long should alt text be?

There is no required character count. Prioritise a concise description of the important information in the image for someone who cannot see it.

Should I always put my keyword in the alt text?

No. Include it only when it is genuinely relevant to what is visible. Repeating keywords that do not describe the image makes alt text less useful.

What about decorative images?

For an image that carries no information, use an empty alt attribute. This lets screen readers skip decoration and focus on meaningful content.

Is my image uploaded to Codwa?

No. File details are read directly in your browser on your device and are not sent to or stored by this tool.
