Your product images are invisible to Google. AltMate fixes that in minutes.
Edit alt text for every product image in one place. No clicking through products one by one. No CSV exports.
Why this exists
Shopify makes you edit alt text one image at a time. For 300 products with 4 images each, that's 1,200 clicks.
Most merchants give up after 20 minutes. Their product images stay invisible to Google, screen readers, and anyone searching for what they sell.
The Shopify admin way
Click product → click media → click image → type alt text → save → back → next product. Repeat 300 times. It takes hours and you lose your place constantly.
The CSV export way
Export products → match image IDs to URLs in a spreadsheet → fill alt text → re-import → hope nothing breaks. One wrong cell and you corrupt your data.
The "fully automated AI" way
Generic AI writes things like "a person wearing a shirt in a room" instead of "Women's organic cotton crewneck in sage green." It can't see your product title, your brand voice, or the details that matter. And it publishes changes immediately without letting you review them first.
The AltMate approach
Everything in one table. Edit what you want. Save when you're ready.
See every image at once
Open AltMate and see every product image in your store laid out in a table. No clicking through products. No losing your place. Everything visible.
Get smart suggestions
For any image, click "Suggest" and AltMate analyzes the actual image and writes descriptive alt text. You review it. Edit it. Save when it's right.
Sync directly to Shopify
When you click Save, changes go directly to your Shopify media library. No CSV. No export. No risk of breaking anything. Just done.
Filter and search your way
Work on one collection at a time. Search by product name or tag. Focus on what's missing first, then improve what's vague. You control the order.
Know what needs fixing
Missing alt text shows in red. Vague text shows in yellow. Good text shows in green. You see exactly where to focus first.

Questions merchants ask
Is this a subscription?
No. You buy credits once and use them whenever you need them. No monthly fees. No recurring charges. No pressure to use them by a certain date.
Will this slow down my store?
Not at all. AltMate is a Shopify app that updates your product data on the back end. It adds zero code, scripts, or tracking to your live storefront. Your store speed stays exactly the same.
Does it work with my theme?
Yes. AltMate updates the actual image metadata in your Shopify media library, so it works with any theme — Dawn, custom themes, paid themes, everything. If your theme displays product images, the alt text will be there.
Can I write my own alt text instead of using AI?
Absolutely. The AI suggestions are just a starting point to save you time. You can edit any suggestion, ignore it completely and write your own, or mix and match. Nothing saves unless you click Save.
What if I have 2,000 product images?
The table loads everything, but you can filter and work in batches. Focus on one collection at a time, or sort by "missing alt text first" and knock those out before improving the vague ones. You don't have to do everything at once.
Does this help with SEO?
Yes. Google uses alt text to understand what your images show, which helps your products appear in image search results. Descriptive alt text also helps with accessibility — screen readers use it to describe images to visually impaired customers.
