Agorapulse helps you improve the accessibility of your content by allowing you to add alternative text (alt text) to uploaded images. Alt text provides a written description of an image, that screen readers use to describe visual content to users who are visually impaired. This ensures your social media posts are more inclusive and accessible to a wider audience.
Agorapulse also offers an AI-powered solution that automatically generates alt text for your images, saving you time and ensuring consistent accessibility practices across your content.
How to add alternative text to an image
Alternative text can be added to an image once it has been uploaded to the Media section of the Publishing Composer when creating a post. To add alternative text to an image whilst creating a post in the Publishing Composer:
