Image URL is sent to RankPilotAI for processing. * **BYOK mode:** Image URL is sent directly to OpenAI’s API using your own API key. Nothing is sent to RankPilotAI. * **Pro mode:** Image URL, file name, current ALT, selected model, language, site URL, domain, plugin slug, and Site Token are sent to RankPilotAI. * On token-status checks in the settings page (Pro mode only): Site Token, site URL and domain. ### Why it is sent * To generate the requested ALT text and return it to your Media Library item * To authorize usage and show your remaining balance (Pro mode) * To register and track trial token usage (Trial mode) ### Endpoints * https://rankpilotai.com/wp-json/rankpilotai/v1/alt-text (Pro) * https://rankpilotai.com/wp-json/rankpilotai/v1/alt-batch (Pro bulk) * https://rankpilotai.com/wp-json/rankpilotai/v1/token-info (Pro) * https://rankpilotai.com/wp-json/rankpilotai/v1/trial-register (Trial) * https://rankpilotai.com/wp-json/rankpilotai/v1/trial-alt (Trial) * https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions (BYOK – direct to OpenAI) ### Providers * RankPilotAI (Terms: https://rankpilotai.com/terms-and-conditions, Privacy: https:// rankpilotai.com/privacy-policy) * OpenAI (BYOK mode only – Terms: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use, Privacy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy) ## Screenshots * [[ * Media modal with **Generate with AI** * [[ * Attachment edit screen — button + score badge * [[ * Settings **Site Key** & **Usage Overview** * [[ * Settings **Alt-Text Language** & **Model** * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1.

For BYOK mode, just paste your OpenAI API key. ### Is there a free plan? Yes. 25 free tokens are included. After that, use your own OpenAI API key (unlimited, free) or upgrade to Pro. ### Does it overwrite my existing ALT texts? Only when you click **Generate** for a given image (or run a bulk action). It writes to WordPress’ standard `_wp_attachment_image_alt` field. ### What languages are supported? English, German, French, Spanish, Turkish — plus **Other/Custom**. Enter any language name and we’ll pass it to the generator. ### Will it change image file names or titles? No. It only sets the ALT text and stores a score `_aatb_score` meta (for the badge/ column). ### Does it work with other media/SEO plugins? Yes. ALT text is a core WordPress field, so other plugins and themes will read it normally. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a1b325c1156c30a27f5b2a0508137a449af0cc5e9513f941c5f16c58cdd7336f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works flawlessly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-flawlessly-218/)󠁿 [uludagv](https://profiles.wordpress.org/uludagv/) April 27, 2026 bulk generate worked flawlessly. quality output, thx ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/69ec73bfee400dcb1c6d7a938e04cfbc38304ed479706be65dc43bd4705e81e8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A surprisingly handy ALT text tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-surprisingly-handy-alt-text-tool/)󠁿 [ash73](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ash73/) November 26, 2025 I started using ai alt text builder 2 days ago and it honestly made my life easier. One click and it writes clean, descriptive alt text that ACTUALLY makes sense. The score badge is a nice touch, and the bulk generation saved me so much time. I also love that I can pick the language. Overall, it just works and does exactly what you need. After trying 20 different plugins, I finally found my favorite!
