How do I generate alt text from a DeepSeek-style description?
Describe the image above and press Generate. You'll get plain, concise alt text, without the stray formatting a direct chat answer often includes.
Do I upload the image to this tool?
No. This site doesn't process images at all. You describe it, and the tool writes alt text from that description.
Is the DeepSeek alt text generator free?
Yes. 5 free runs every rolling 24 hours, no account and no signup.
Why does DeepSeek leave asterisks in its alt text answers?
It formats text with markdown bold markers by default in chat, and those characters sometimes get copied straight into an alt attribute.
Why does DeepSeek add an "Alt text:" label?
It's a common habit in its chat answers, framing the suggested text with a label. That label adds characters if copied along with the actual text.
What is alt text actually for?
It's an accessibility feature. A screen reader announces it in place of the image, so it needs to describe function and context, not appearance.
What alt text should a decorative image have?
An empty alt attribute, alt="", so a screen reader skips it instead of announcing something a listener doesn't need.
How should alt text describe a chart?
Name the actual data points or trend, not just the chart type. The data is the content.
Does good alt text help SEO?
It can help image search understand your image, but it isn't a broad ranking factor. Write it for the listener, not to stuff a keyword in.
Is my description sent anywhere?
It's sent to our AI server to generate the alt text and is not used to train models.
Does the output include an "Alt text:" label?
No. Output here is the plain alt text only, without the label a direct chat answer sometimes prefixes it with.
How long should alt text be?
Long enough to convey function, short enough that a screen reader isn't reading a paragraph for one image. A sentence usually does it.
What's different between this and the plain AI alt text generator?
Same underlying tool, tuned with DeepSeek's specific formatting habits, stray asterisks, labels, terse phrasing, in mind rather than a generic model's.
What if the image is also a link?
Describe where it goes or what it does, not just what it looks like.
Can I run a batch of images through it?
One at a time, within your 5 runs per 24 hours. No batch upload yet.
Will it give the same alt text twice?
Not reliably. Output can vary between runs on identical input.
Is there an API?
Not currently. Each image runs individually, within the daily allowance.
Does it work for non-English descriptions?
It's built and tested mainly for English. Other languages may produce usable results but aren't held to the same standard.
What happens after I use all 5 runs?
You'll see when the next run opens up. It resets automatically 24 hours after the run that used it.
Does this guarantee accessibility compliance?
No. It can produce genuinely useful alt text from a good description, but compliance depends on the actual result, not on a tool having generated it.
