Why Editing Alt Text in Shopify Is a Nightmare
1. You edit each image separately
Shopify forces you to update alt text one product at a time, one image at a time. It's slow and frustrating.
"Entering alt texts manually for each image is taking half of my time."
With 200 products and 3 images each, that's 600 clicks before you even start writing.
2. CSV exports are error-prone
Exporting a CSV might seem faster, but the process carries real risks:
- •Accidental changes can overwrite product details
- •Formatting errors can break variants or pricing
- •Large files take time to download and upload
"This would import all data of products, right? Then the upload would be a nightmare."
One small mistake can mess up your entire catalog.
3. AI-generated alt text is usually useless
AI tools promise automatic alt text, but the results are usually vague, generic, or inaccurate. They don't help SEO, accessibility, or your brand messaging.
"It is all automated nonsense that does not help SEO."
No AI knows your products better than you do. Manual editing with the right tool is still the best way to get accurate, useful alt text.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with multiple images per product?
Yes. All images appear in the table.
Will it overwrite existing alt text?
No. AltMate shows your current alt text for every image, so you decide which ones to edit. Only the changes you make are updated.
What if I have thousands of images?
Use filters and search to work in sections.
Is it faster than a CSV export?
Yes. No exporting. No uploading. Just type and save.
Do you use AI?
No. AltMate doesn't generate alt text for you because you know your products best. AI often produces vague or inaccurate descriptions that hurt SEO and accessibility.
