SEO Friendly Images

SEO Friendly Images is a Wordpress optimization plugin which automatically updates all images with proper ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have ALT and TITLE already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them according the options you set. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well.

ALT attribute is important part of search engine optimization. It describes your image to search engine and when a user searches for a certain image this is a key determining factor for a match.

TITLE attribute play lesser role but is important for visitors as this text will automatically appear in the tooltip when mouse is over the image.

Installation & Usage

  1. Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
  2. Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
  3. Use the Options page to modify ALT and TITLE options.
  4. You are done, SEO Image does everything else

SEO Friendly Images options recognize two tags %title (post title) and %name (filename of the picture). By combining these two tags and additional words (photo, picture etc..) you can create relevant alt and title tags automatically for all images.

Here is a live example of the plugin (active on my blog). The image that has title and alt replaced with "%title" and "%name %title" respectively resulting in "SEO Friendly Image" for title and "example SEO Friendly Images" for alt.

example SEO Friendly Images

There is one additional option called 'Override default Wordpress alt'. If you uploaded pictures to your blog posts already and haven't specified a description Wordpress would automatically add a default alt tag in form of image.jpg. Since SEO Friendly Images replaces only empty or non-existing alt tags, this would be left intact unless this option is turned on.

  4. Felix 06.27.09 / 12am

    Interesting plugin? Does it works at other sites?

  5. Vladimir 06.26.09 / 8am

    I sure do, check out my services page.

  6. mark 06.26.09 / 8am

    Thanks for the quick response - I did deactivate other plugins and still seem to be having the issue. On another note, I was reading your optimization bible and was going to email you separately - do you do custom work for hire? I could use someone to help me speed things up and it is a bit over my head to be honest.. Thanks in advance.

  7. Vladimir 06.26.09 / 7am

    Check your other plugins for conflict, works fine in 2.8.

  8. mark 06.26.09 / 7am

    Hey there Vladimir, dont know if you are supporting this plugin anymore, but doesnt seem to work for me. I have it activated and have the options chosen, but it is not doing what it claims to do. Actually, ever since I upgraded to 2.7 - now at 2.8, it seemed to stop working, any ideas?

  9. Kurtlar Vadis Pusu 06.20.09 / 1am

    oow, very very thanks (: nice plugin.. :)

  10. rohin 06.10.09 / 11pm

    Vlad , Great work my man , but I have one issue and am not sure if it is my fault but on my site the content and posts are all pictures and each post requires an image that is posted in custom feilds. When I check the website main page via firebug , the images do not have any text in the alt tags.

    can you tell take a look ? Perhaps its a loose setting or something , In the single.php post pages it seems fine.

  12. Vladimir 05.26.09 / 8pm

    That is a great idea, changing filenames to match the alt tag. Anyone willing to change the code?

  13. Jan Peter 05.26.09 / 10am

    Hello,

    SEO images is verry important, only it's also to change names like: DSC12231200.JPG to example: audi-a8-quatro.jpg

    te filenames are also verry important.

  14. Li-An 05.22.09 / 8am

    As I got a blog about illustrations, your plugin seems very adequat and I wonder if it could be interesting to add Wordpress tags to the images tags ?

  15. Land Rover One Ten 05.05.09 / 12pm

    Excellent, this has made my job so much easier. Not only does it help with SEO, but it improves accessibility and usability and ensures my blog is valid html

    Hiya! Can't seem to get this working with Arthemia Premium theme. I've disabled my plug-ins and it still doesn't work, so I'm assuming it's the theme. Any ideas? This would save me a ton of time, so I'd love to get it working. :D

    Keep up the fabulous work. Thanks!

    Released version 2.4, optimization and single quotes bug. Compatible up to WP 2.7.1!

  34. Omer Altay 02.18.09 / 2am

    Any update on how well this works with NextGen Gallery?

  35. Paul 02.16.09 / 7pm

    the plugin has serious bug when we use img tag with single quotes for parameters. Try to create this tag

    @img src='img.jpg' height='100' width='100'@
    and the result will be like
    @img src='img.jpg' height='100' width='100 title="post name"@

    without trailing single quote for width parameter. Fix please!!

  36. Kerrnel 02.16.09 / 5pm

    Thanks for this post. This plugin is exellent.

  37. Sitt78 02.16.09 / 3pm

    very cool Plugin, but The plugin does not work on wordpress 2.7 in the aktuell version!?!

  38. bebe 02.09.09 / 11am

    The plugin does not work on wordpress 2.7. Is there any chance to fix it ?

  39. Pete 02.09.09 / 1am

    Very cool plugin - thanks! I'm just starting to experiment with this and thought of an idea that might help. Would it be possible to automatically set the text link titles with the page title of the target page? Just a thought.

    Thanks!
    Pete

  40. Vladimir 02.02.09 / 9pm

    It works on 2.7 out of box, it must be an issue with your theme/other plugins. Please send more details.

  41. Dave 02.02.09 / 8pm

    @onelargeprawn... must be a 2.7 issue, thanks for the feedback and confirmation

    @prelovac or others... is there a timeline for a 2.7 compliant version? I think this would make a nice add to my site.

  42. onelargeprawn 02.02.09 / 8pm

    @Dave: You're in the same boat. I've tried this plugin on WP 2.7 and it's not working for me either.

  43. Dave 02.02.09 / 8pm

    @ onelargeprawn... no, that's not it. I saved the default settings then updated them to no effect... clearly I'm doing something wrong but it simply is not accepting the default or revised settings.

  44. onelargeprawn 02.02.09 / 8pm

    @Dave: If you go to your blog, and access the properties of an image, the alternative text of the image should be set to whatever you have configured the plugin to output for alternative text.

  45. Dave 02.02.09 / 7pm

    Silly question... but how will I know when this tool is working? I loaded it but have not noticed any changes.

  46. Henry 01.28.09 / 8pm

    I will try to install it and hope there will be an effect.

  47. Arbune Webmaster 01.28.09 / 3pm

    Hey, thanks for the info. Just a question, though, how does this mod apply alternate and titles to images if they are missing? Does it generate random strings?
    I'm thinking about trying this mod but I don't know if it's compatible with Wordpress 2.7 ...

  48. skinskin 01.27.09 / 1pm

    installed it on several blogs - it worked fine

    wp 2.7, english

    now it's not working... don't understand anything...

  49. ilk sira 01.25.09 / 11am

    Thanks for plugin. Download now and try it.

  50. Marcis Gasuns 01.23.09 / 3pm

    Great post, thanks!

  55. Sue 01.11.09 / 8pm

    I have the same problem as onelargeprawn - doesn't seem to do anything for WP 2.7.

  56. onelargeprawn 01.11.09 / 11am

    Does this on Wordpress 2.7? I've installed this plugin on my local computer to test it, and it doesn't seem to work for me. It doesn't replace the ALT or TITLE attributes even though the "Override default Wordpress alt (recommended)" option is selected.

    Can anyone comment further on this?

  57. Matthew Hunt 01.07.09 / 6am

    Awesome plugin for my clients who are inexperienced with wordpress and don't understand the value of have well tagged images. thank-you!

  61. Gabriela 12.28.08 / 6pm

    Hi!
    Is this plugin working on wordpress 2,7 ?

  62. Гаджет 12.16.08 / 5pm

    Hi Vladimir
    thanks for such a usefull plugin!

    I've got one problem though:
    been using SEO Friendly images for my WP2.5.1 blog

    the plugin works perfectly when images are added as URL ("add image" icon). both image' title and alt are replaced with those I've set.

    the plugin doesn't insert title="" when images are loaded using WP media library tool. ALTs are working fine, though it is not replaced with my custom alt if the image has the alt set upon upload.

    I've got "Override default Wordpress alt (recommended)" checked.

    Looks like I've got my WP theme setting title and alt and the plugin doesn't manage to override it.

    Is there any way to fix this?

  63. The Fiery Source 12.15.08 / 8pm

    Fantastic Plug-in, thank you. I have installed on my blog and love it. Been looking for something like this for a while now. Love it

  64. ovidiu 12.09.08 / 10am

    having a little problem/question with your plugin and attachments displayed as a gallery.

    - wp 2.7 rc1 10119
    - your plugin is correctly configured
    - using image.php inside my theme to display the attachment
    - calling the attachement like this: <a class="shutter" title="" href="ID); ?>">ID, 'large' ); ?>

    a sample output can be seen here: http://pacura.ru/pictures/westcoast-weekend/attachment/02_p1010530/ and the alt tag is empty. any ideas?

  65. saytopedia 12.06.08 / 5pm

    Very important plugin. Thanks.

  66. Jyri Väätäinen 11.25.08 / 11pm

  67. Michael 11.19.08 / 7pm

    I have an odd issue...I converted my blog from Google Blogger to Wordpress and SEO friendly images is working for my old images that were posted to Google Blogger but it is not working for the new articles posted in Wordpress. Here is an example:

    Wordpress: http://www.actionfigurecustoms.com/2008/09/16/transformers-movie-optimus-prime-custom-15-figure-encline-designs/

    Old Google Blogger post coverted to Wordpress: http://www.actionfigurecustoms.com/2008/06/13/custom-transformers-movie-optimus-prime-leader-class-figure-by-creg-customs/

    Any help would be great!

  68. DemoGeek 11.14.08 / 11pm

    I think you should write a book on plugins...it's time I guess.

  69. sseoguy 11.11.08 / 4pm

    hi

    the plugin is good but the alt tag is only shown on the thumbmails not the big images please fix the error in it.

    thanks

    Hi Vladimir

    How can I ‘Override default Wordpress alt’?

    ie. On the page (link below) I would like the company logo to say Wildcat SEO and not the aero bubbles alt tag

    http://www.kasumiseo.co.uk/sexy-jason-lewis-tempts-women-to-buy-aero-bubbles/

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank You

    @Gavin Seim - Changing title attributes does not work? Can you show an example?
    @Stefan Tell - Please tell me more about the problem. Best you can write me an email describing it
    @Aldo - Hvala, kako radi poker?

  73. Gavin Seim 10.21.08 / 7am

    Thanks so much. Simple and well done. Everything works good, except changing title attribute settings is not doing anything. It just used image title no matter what I enter. Still the alt was my main concern so it will do super.

    Hello,
    Thanks for this great plug-in for creating seo optimized images.

  77. Stefan Tell 09.30.08 / 7pm

    Sorry to say, but this plugin destroyed my feed as well. So I had to get rid of it temporarily. Will check back later to see if the problem is solved.

    Somehow Feedburner and some other feed-readers had problems with Swedish characters (å,ä,ö) when using UTF-8 and complained about "high-bit characters".

  78. Aldo 09.27.08 / 12am

    Thank you very much for the plugin

  80. Jamie 08.12.08 / 10pm

    Hi, great plugin but I've found an issue leading to non-compliant HTML. It can generate title values where an ampersand is not properly encoded, ie. '&' is not encoded as '&'.

  81. Toby 08.11.08 / 11pm

    Thank you for a great little plugin.

  82. Atomic Popcorn 07.24.08 / 2pm

    Is there any reason it wouldn't work on all images already posted or is this for images going forward that are posted?

  83. Richard 07.23.08 / 1pm

    Even more SEO for my website :D

  84. Vladimir 07.15.08 / 5pm

    There is no reason not to work. I am running 2.6 here too.

  85. Will E 07.15.08 / 4pm

    Help! I don't think seo friendly images is working with wordpress 2.6!

  86. Igor Alekseev 07.09.08 / 5pm

    This plugin incompatible with blog in russian UTF-8
    Plugin destroy RSS feed =(

  87. Naveen 07.08.08 / 11am

    Yes, I just downloaded and tested it out.

    This just happens to image which has extra space before end bracket i.e .jpg" >, the extra space does not go well with the plugin. Since I post most of my posts via email, these extra spaces do appear.

    I got a work around it by using the search and replace plugin and replaced .jpg" > to .jpg">. It works now!

  88. Vladimir 07.08.08 / 8am

    Do you use the latest version, 2.3?

  89. Naveen 07.08.08 / 8am

    Thanx for the plugin!

    I'm also facing the problem which Ahni posted on May 21st. The plugin eats up last few letters of the image src and the image fails to load.

    .jpg is trim to .j or .jp
    .gif is trim to .gi or .g

    deactivating the plugin loads the image "fine"

    Using - Version 2.5.1

  90. Vladimir 07.07.08 / 9am

    Version 2.3 is out with few tweaks.

  91. bob 07.06.08 / 5pm

    This is a great plugin. It works on most of my images. However, for some images, the src tag was modified wrongly leading to a broken image. E.g.

    becomes

    Two characters were chopped off ('g"' in this case) in original src attribute.

    I looked at your code and couldn't figure out why. I'd appreciate it if you could have a look. The is version 2.2.

  92. luxury furniture 07.06.08 / 1pm

    I need to rename images of posts with title name

  93. R. Richard Hobbs 07.02.08 / 7pm

    SEO Friendly Images is a GREAT idea but I think it may be conflicting with GeoPress / http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/geopress/ - sometime in the past week or so my embedded GeoPress maps stopped working and I just finished deactivating all my plugins trying to figure out where the problem might be occurring - I cant say for sure but right now SEO Friendly Images is off and my maps are back to working again...

  94. Julio Fernández 06.29.08 / 7pm

    Great plugin.

    Another SEO I think is important if you can implement... Can you add nofollow tag to every thumbmail of gallery image? Google index all my images :S

    Thanks :D

  95. Vladimir 06.17.08 / 4pm

    Can you send more info on what's wrong with regex?

  96. Ted Liptak 06.14.08 / 12pm

    Thanks for the plugin.

  97. Karsten 06.11.08 / 6pm

    Nice plugin, but breaks my style attributes i assigned to some images. Would be great, if you could fix the regex...

    Cheers

  98. Ruhani Rabin 05.27.08 / 4am

    Hi,

    This plugin is not compatible with CFORMS .. most probably it's trying to write the alt tag for the captcha image.. then CFORMS rendering fails.. Would it be possible to check certain image height and width..

    But anyway great work..

  99. Kurtlar Vadisi 05.25.08 / 4pm

    hello,

    thanks for wordpress plugin.

    i using this plugin in wp 2.5

  100. Maria Ozawa 05.22.08 / 10pm

    Hi Vladimir,

    Can you take a look at the alt problem in my blog. Thanks a lot. I'm sure I followed all your instructions. :(

  101. Ahni 05.21.08 / 1am

    Cheers for the fixes, but there's still something wrong with images that don't have a trailing slash. The html looks like...

    img src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/noie.pn%20title=" presentation="" to="" support="" heart="" of="" the="" world="" alt=""

    I hope this is solvable. I'm really looking forward to using your plugin :D

  102. Vladimir 05.20.08 / 10pm

    Fixed the compatibility issues with WP 2.5.1, fixed breaking of html and added support for categories.

  103. Brent Csutoras 05.18.08 / 8pm

    This plugin does something else as well.

    I am running 2.5.1 and with the plugin on it does not work. It shows alt="" on all images on the site.

    Additionally it must to something more because the link for images looks identical with the plugin on or off.. however when i have the plugin on, it will not show images when trying to submit content to social sites like digg.

    When i turn it off then the images are available again as thumbnails on submissions. So there is something somewhere messing with the format of thumbnails?

  104. ymladenov 05.16.08 / 5pm

    Great idea for a plugin.
    But is this thing validated?
    I hear it isn't compatible with some widgets that are officialy released for WP.

  105. xspoof 05.12.08 / 7pm

    Just downloaded the plugin. There's an error with an missing " at the end of the alt tag.

    Any idea how to fix that?

  106. Kane 05.12.08 / 11am

    Great plugin, but it's incompatible with NextGen Gallery
    Please take a look at this thread

  109. Ben 04.28.08 / 8am

    There is a problem with WordPress 2.5.1 and gallery, the plugin is not working po gallery images.

  110. Ahni 04.15.08 / 12am

    hey. I'm having the spacing problem too, but it's messing up the images on my site. Here's what the html ends up looking like:

    [img src="cochabamba-bolivia-128x96.jpg%20title=" cochabamba-bolivia-128x96="" photo="" alt="cochabamba-bolivia-128x96"]

    I'm also getting the following error:

    Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter. in /../seo-friendly-images.php on line 231

    hopefully this can be fixed soon, this is a very useful plugin. Thanks.

  111. Anonymous 04.14.08 / 7am

    This plugin doesn't properly handle img tags that are missing the trailing slash / before the closing >

    It also causes validation to fail due to extra spaces that it adds into the img tag... eg. it changes border="0" /> to border= "0" />

    Is there anyway to get it to also have the ability to put in ALT/TITLE the categorie the post the image is in?

  116. AJ 03.20.08 / 12am

    I have just installed this plugin and it works fine on pictures that I have imported into a blog. However, for photos that are inserted into the blog with WPG2 (and linked to my Gallery) the photos display as a broken link and only the only %name and %title details appear. Has anyone else tested it with WPG2?

  117. Peter 03.17.08 / 1am

    Good idea, although it would be more useful if it put the image title in the title attribute instead of the page title.
    Thanks

    I just noticed that WordPress does not provide a title tag for images. Is this true? Or am I dumb? Maybe both I guess. ;-)

    Nice plugin by the way but it puts space characters behind all equal signs.

    With plugin activated:

    alt= "... title= "...

    With plugin deactivated:

    alt="... title="...

    Fantastic plugin! One problem is that it doesn't work with the polyglot multilingual plugin. When you get this to work, it will be a perfect companion to all in one seo pack! It's actually a very simple fix, shouldn't take but 1 minute. Apologies for the double post.

  120. joe 03.10.08 / 11pm

    It must be Wordpress which is adding the dashes to the filename then...Man that stinks...I love this plugin for the fact it says me a lot of time...However i cant have those dashes being displayed for the alt and title....Nor can i set it up to add the title of my post cause sometimes my posts have weird titles which i would not want the pictures to be titled as, i use the All in one SEO plugin with Wordpress so i just use that to come up with keyword titles for the post...So using this plugin that way would defeat the purpose for me......This is sad, i may have to disable it :(

  121. Vladimir 03.10.08 / 10pm

    SEO Friendly Images plugin does not alter any filenames, nor is it active in file uploading process. It is changing the posts as they are being displayed, to show different attributes to images. You can check out the image in this post.

  122. joe 03.10.08 / 10pm

    For the record, just so you know what im dealing with, i am working with the newest version of Wordpress...

    Your plugin is adding the dashes...Is there anyway to undo that and have it so no dashes are added?

    I went to my site and i did save one of the pictures...And yes, it is saved with dashes in the filename...However, that is not how i saved my pictures before i uploaded them....

    As said they are all saved with just a space, just dashes...So it would be "Nike Dunk Sneakers"....Your plugin adds the alt and title tag but it adds the dashes to the filename, which werent in the filename when uploaded....

    So when i save the photo its like saving a different file i dont already have...Cause now i have "Nike Dunk Sneakers" and "Nike-Dunk-Sneakers" both saved in the same folder and they are both acting as different files due to the dashes in the filename....

    Like i said...its the plugin adding the dashes to my filename....Is there any way to stop that?

    Sorry if this seems confusing...i am just tryin to make sure i go into detail so you know what im saying...

  123. Vladimir 03.10.08 / 11am

    Try to save that image from your browser and you will see it has dashes in the filename. It could be that Blogger is adding the dashes automatically.

  124. joe 03.10.08 / 11am

    I save my files without the dash...Unless of course my computer is just not showing them when i view my files...But when i save something ill usually save it as "Nike Dunk Sneaker" without the dashes....Even when i put underscores "Nike_Dunk_Sneakers" it still shows a dash inbetween the words...

  125. Vladimir 03.10.08 / 11am

    The dash must be coming from your filename.

    Dash is neutral from SEO perspective so you can keep it that way.

  126. joe 03.10.08 / 5am

    Great Plugin...I have it setup to pull up the Alt and Title Tag based on the filename since i store my files by their proper names....I have noticed that when i hover over my images it will show a title like Nike-Dunk-Sneakers....I was wondering if this is a plus for SEO when it comes to images or something not so great....Would it be better to display Nike Dunk Sneakers without the - inbetween the words?

  127. Dievochka 03.09.08 / 11pm

    Great !

    I'll test it as soon as possible

    As you 've perhaps seen, I'm quite active in SEO in France.
    So if you want, I can try to translate your plugin in french, not in the coming days, as I've some familial obligations, but as soon as I can.. If somebody else doesn't do it before me...
    Why a translation : because people here have problems with foreign languages, even with english... :(

  128. Phaze 03.09.08 / 10pm

    186 array_push($pieces, '" title="' . $titletext_rep . '"');

    When i did change ' title="' to '" title="' i got it to work....

  129. Phaze 03.09.08 / 7pm

    seems like a mozilla problem. I was test in IE and there it was no problems.

  130. Phaze 03.09.08 / 7pm

    I did send you an email with link to the pictures/post

  131. Vladimir 03.09.08 / 7pm

    I did not notice any problems yet but point me to the pictures/posts in question and I'll check it.

  132. Phaze 03.09.08 / 7pm

    It's get mixed up with alt and title text like this:
    12345.jpg" 12345="" alt="here you got some text" border=" title=" height="240" width="320">

  133. David Roberts 03.09.08 / 6pm

    "It’s still wrong with alt and title in the zipfile!"

    What exactly do you mean?

  134. Phaze 03.09.08 / 6pm

    It's still wrong with alt and title in the zipfile!

  135. Abhinav Sood 03.09.08 / 6pm

    Great plugin, thanks a lot! Its going to be up and running at Inspirit in a few minutes.
    :D

  136. JTPratt's Blogging Mistakes 03.09.08 / 4pm

    actually, this plugin is great for accessibility, but the SEO benefits are great as well, since google images will eat up these keyword-laden tags and you will get more traffic from google images. You would be surprised how many more visitors you can get from that.

  137. Laarni 03.07.08 / 3pm

    @Ashish Mohta Yes, I think so. All my past images got "alted" and "titled."

  138. Ashish Mohta 03.07.08 / 3pm

    Does it pulls up all the images which is stored in upload directory of wordpress and edit their alt and title tag ? If you can provide with a snap shot it would be great

  139. RedMoze 03.07.08 / 1pm

    Very nice plugin. thanks.

  140. Deddy 03.07.08 / 9am

    A must have plugin for SEO. Thanks..

  141. Laarni 03.06.08 / 2am

    I love it. thanks for sharing. :)

  142. Vladimir 03.02.08 / 7pm

    Thank you Dan, glad to be there :P

    Category, hmmm.. Good idea for next version ;)

  143. Vincent's Tip's & Trick's 03.02.08 / 4pm

    What a great plugin, this is very useful.

    I’ll be playing around with it immediately.

    I don’t know if it has this option but I am especially looking for a plugin that creates the ALT and TITLE text similar as the category. If it doesn’t have this option it might be worth thinking about.

    Anyway, thanks a lot!! This is really a great plugin!

  144. Dan Schulz 03.02.08 / 12am

    Vlad, your plugin (which I consider to be far more necessary for accessibility and usability than SEO) just got onto my "Required WordPress Plugins" list.

    Congratulations. :)
