Imogen Install Guide

Imogen, made by Kent C. Dodds, writes alt text for images. Its full name is Imogen the Impala Image Interpreter, and its job is to produce short descriptions you can copy that focus on what matters most in a picture.

Alt text is what screen readers read aloud, so good descriptions make websites, posts and documents usable for people who are blind or have low vision. Imogen keeps descriptions brief, which is usually more helpful than a long list of every detail in the image. Adding alt text also helps search engines understand your images, and many publishing tools flag images without it. Writing descriptions by hand is easy to skip when you are busy, so having a quick helper makes it more likely that every image on your site gets one.

It suits bloggers, social media managers, educators and web teams who want accessible content without extra effort. Tell it why the image is there, check that the description matches the point you are making and paste it into the alt text field.
