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.
Download
Installation & Usage
- Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
- Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
- Use the Options page to modify ALT and TITLE options.
- 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.
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.

como usar este programa para otimizar no blogspot
I bought this plugin with the aim of it handling galleries in woocommerce eg if I have
Main product image
6 Gallery Images.
Image for each of 8 variations, using a a variation swatch plugin.
That it will manage alt tags for all images eg
Product Name Main Mmage
Product Name Gallery Image 1
Product Name Variation 1
etc etc
Can it do this or not?
Hi Richard
The version with WooCommerce support will handle WooCommerce product images. Check the alt tag of the image in the source of the page to confirm.
Hi Vlad!
First of all, many congrats on your plugin. No other words. :)
Secondo of all, I noticed that in my config, speaking of woocommerce product pages, it works only affecting the featured image. The others images in the product gallery have not alt set.
Is there a way to fix this?
Many thanks in advance and best regards.
Yes the premium version support WooCommerce completely.
Vladimir,
I just purchased the Business edition for different websites. Followed intructions written in your website and tried in one website. Wanted to check whether it works. Went to different images I knew hadn't ALT tag nor Title and it seems there are no changes, so ALT tag &Title it's not added. How long does it take? Should I do something else? Please advise
Well, just wanted to say thank you for saving my so much time with this plugin. I am not sure if anyone requested it but maybe you could include in future release a way to automatically put a description in each image just like with image titles. That would literally save hours
Hi,
I have problems regenerating. images. It only regenerates 1 image although I selllect all the options. Thus I interested to regenerate the woocommerce products images but I don´t know if it's working with the free version.
thanks
ups sorry. this one was not for this place. Just I wanted to know why is not adding the alt and renaming the woocmmerce prdocuts images :S
WooCommerce support is part of the premium plugin, not the free one.

Hi
I've just added the free version to my site, I'm confused. What do you get with the paid version that the free version doesn't already offer?
Also, i would love to check if the version I have just installed actually works, is there any way of seeing this?
Thanks,
Gordon
Hi Gordon

This plugin helped me save time on some of my sites. Congratulations for the work!
Hi I am using my plugin on a multi site and it does not update the alt tags. Is there anything I can do?
Hi,
Still not clear to me if the plugin is working for featured images,
Not in my case: It would be nice to know if its because I´m doing something wrong or its just the way it is.
thks. L.
Hi, Vladimir
Thank you for your Alt Tag plug in - I downloaded the free version directly from WordPress, but it doesn't work - none of my images had alt tags created.
I investigated an it seems that many others have had this problem, but I don't see what the solution is.
Can you please advise?

Hi there,
thank you so much for the wonderfull plugin! I've recently added WPML to my site with for an english version, and would like top optimize the alt en title for the english pages aswell.
Is there an option to have an overview of all images with their alt and title tags to make changes, and to add an extra language?
thanks in advance,

Hi Vladimir,
As photographers, we have a new WordPress site currently under development (not the one ref'd by the website above).
We definitely want to purchase your plug-in but have two pre-sales questions:
1. We do NOT want the Colorbox feature, since our own sliders present the images the way we want. Can I simply avoid turning this feature on?
2. Is there a way to ensure compatibility between your plug-in, and the plug-in and theme I'm using?
We're using a slider plug-in produced by ThemePunch, called Revolution. We're also using the sliders built into the theme called Porcelain, that we purchased from ThemeForest/Envato. This supports Parallax and other features, and want to make sure that everything will play well together.
Many thanks!!!
Jerry
1. Yes
2. Plugin is aimed mainly at post pictures. Sliders may or not work depending how they are implemented but then, slider images are not something you want to optimize for SEO anyway.
Only work on some sub sites on my multisite install.
Hi Vladimir,
I think your SEO Friendly Images plugin is fantastic, makes it so much easier to update alt and title attributes.
However, it doesn't seem to work on category pages for featured images, next to post excerpts. I'm only getting the alt attribute, but not the title attribute. Is this because of the plugin not supporting category pages, or is it because of my theme? I'm using the Genesis Framework by StudioPress.
kind regards,
Eddy
Can you help me on this? I cannot input information in the "Image Title", "Alt Title" and "Keywords" in the Media Library. I input the details in the fields, but they simply won't load and save.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,I want to use this plugin for my website.But I am confused if it's realy work, if it offers a trail version then be provedfor confused.

Hi Jorge
The premium version comes with the money back guarantee.
Hello.
I'm building my new site and I've a query.
I'm attempting to optimise my site and I'm using an image optimiser such as the EWWW Plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/
If this cleans up all of the data from the images to enable them to be uploaded faster by the user, does your plugin add the relvant data on afterwards so there are no conflicts at all? Just a thought
Yes, please take a look at the premium version for support.
I liked this plugin,very very liked.Im using it in my blogs.
Hi
Thanks for this plugin. Im using it in all of my blogs
I am using Authority Pro 3 plugin and am using Graphic Bullet List widget. The Bots are picking up the graphic bullets image from my listing. I am trying to figure out how blank out the image from the bots with alt text.
Hi, do you know how I can make you SEO Friendly Images plugin work with my custom post type called Properties?
Will be happy to make a donation.
Thanks.
I downloaded your plugin, activated it .. now I'm looking for that 3. Use the Options page to modify ALT and TITLE options. Where would that Options page be exactly??
Thank you
that is also my question - feeling a bit stupid as i cannot see a way to access the mentioned OPTION feature...
Please clarify in the instructions, dear Vladimir ;-)
THX for all your great work !
Took me a while to find it too. You have to go to your Word Press settings section. SEO Friendly Images is one of the options under that section.
Hello, I installed your plugin, but it does not seem to work. I will admit I am not technical. I've gone in and tried to label my images as much as possible.
Does your plugin work with images of products from amazon? I am an affiliate marketer and I want to stay SEO friendly. Thank you.
