Image Alt Text in Posts

Alt text makes images accessible to screen readers and appears when an image fails to load.

Setting alt text in Markdown

Use the standard Markdown image syntax:

![A descriptive caption here](https://example.com/image.png)

The text in square brackets is the alt text.

AI-suggested alt text

When you upload an image using the toolbar, click the AI wand (✨) to generate a suggested description. Edit the suggestion before inserting.

Best practices

  • Describe the content and purpose of the image.
  • Keep alt text under 125 characters.
  • For decorative images, use empty alt text: ![](url).
