    FAQ

    AltGenius — frequently asked questions.

    What is AltGenius on Shopify?
    AltGenius, officially listed on the Shopify App Store as AltGenius: Alt Text Optimizer, is a Shopify app in the SEO category. The alt text (alt tag) describes the content and function of an image on a page. Every image should have an alt text for accessibility, not just for SEO. Visually impaired users rely on alt text to understand the image. Save hours by automatically generating alt text for your product photos and focus on growing your store. It averages 4.90 out of 5 across 51 merchant reviews on the Shopify App Store.

    Is AltGenius Built for Shopify?
