Finding it too hard to describe images you're posting online?

It's okay, you don't have to overthink it! Write how you'd describe the image to a friend over the phone.

Still having trouble? Tag your post with the "Alt4Me" and someone will be happy to help you out!

@FediTree 👋

@rober Nice work with the alt text!

A picture is worth a thousand words. Unless you don't add #AltText. Then it's just "Image".

A few extra seconds of your time it takes to add a good image description can really improve someone's day.

"To a totally blind person like me it means a lot to have a picture in my mind of your images, especially the animal pics."

"I don't know what it is, but as a blind user it's making me emotional to be able to actually interact with content."
