Tips to provide Alt text

While writing alternative text for a visual, imagine you are explaining the visual to a person who is blind folded or you try imagining the image closing your eyes listening to the description you give.

  • A single sentence is ideal as Alt text, but no more than two sentences should be used.
  • Try to provide the information that the image is conveying
    • If the image is for decorative purpose, make sure you tick the box - Mark as Decorative
  • If you are forced to use an image with text, better include all the text in the alternative text option
  • Always test document with Accessibility checker and ask your peers to evaluate too using any assistive technology like screen reader
