A quick and clear guide to help you understand exactly what AltKing does, so you can decide if it is the right app for your store.

[AltKing] Full Feature Breakdown – What Alt Text King Can and Cannot Do

A tour of every page in Alt Text King — the Home dashboard and its progress counters, App settings, Review alt text, and Logs.

[AltKing] Dashboard Walkthrough

Welcome to Alt Text King! Setup takes one step — activating the app. This guide covers the preview, activation, and what happens on your store afterwards.

[AltKing] Getting started

A walkthrough of every setting in Alt Text King — the master switch, generation schedule, alt text exceptions, overwrite behaviour, review mode and output language.

[AltKing] App settings

All you need to know about the app Variant Alt Text King: SEO

Variant Alt Text King: SEO

No — images that already have alt text are left alone and marked Skipped, unless you uncheck "Skip images that already have alt text" in App settings.

[AltKing] Will Alt Text King overwrite alt text I have already written?

The app arrives switched off. Nothing runs until you turn on the Master switch in App settings — the first scan starts seconds later.

[AltKing] I installed the app but nothing is happening. Why?

Those five are the free preview generated at install so you can judge the quality. Your full catalogue runs once you turn on the Master switch.

[AltKing] Why has the app only processed 5 products?

Minutes for a small store; large catalogues are processed in batches over a day or two. Watch Pending and Coverage on the home page to see progress.

[AltKing] How long does the first run take?

Approve suggestions on the Review alt text page — and check the button label, because with nothing ticked it approves every suggestion in your store.

[AltKing] How do I approve the alt text?

Nothing is lost — turning the setting off hides the Review alt text page. Switch it back on to find and approve the queue that was already waiting.

[AltKing] I turned off "Review alt text before publishing" and now I can't find my suggestions

Uncheck "Review alt text before publishing" in App settings. Anything already in the review queue still needs approving first.

[AltKing] I want alt text published automatically without reviewing each one. How?

Skipped means the image already had alt text, so the app left it untouched. This is the usual reason for low coverage, and it is not a fault.

[AltKing] Why are my images showing as "Skipped"?

The image's existing alt text matched one of your Alt text exceptions patterns. Six ship by default — review them in App settings.

[AltKing] Why are some images "Excluded"?

No image limit, no product limit and no monthly cap. Very large catalogues simply build coverage across several runs.

[AltKing] Is there a limit to how many images the app can process?

New and edited products are picked up on the next scheduled run, not instantly. The app re-checks your store on a rolling 24-hour cycle.

[AltKing] I added new products but they have no alt text

No — alt text lives on Shopify's own media records and stays put. If you want your original alt text back, restore it before uninstalling.

[AltKing] If I uninstall the app, will I lose the alt text?

Not currently. The AI describes what is visible in each photo plus the product title — there is no template with SKU, vendor or image number fields.

[AltKing] Can I choose a custom format or template for the alt text?

No — the app works across your whole catalogue. You can still control which images go live by approving them individually before publishing.

[AltKing] Can I generate alt text for only some products?

Your store's primary language by default, or any of 20 languages set in App settings. Changing it regenerates every suggestion from scratch.

[AltKing] What language will the alt text be in?

The AI sees the photo and the product title, not your store or vendor name. Adding the brand to your product titles is the reliable way to get it in.

[AltKing] Why doesn't the alt text mention my brand name?

The AI describes what is visible, so it will not know part numbers or model codes. Keep Skip enabled to protect alt text you wrote yourself.

[AltKing] Some of the alt text isn't accurate, or is more basic than what I wrote

No. It writes the alt text field only — no filename, SKU, title or description changes, and no code added to your storefront.

[AltKing] Does Alt Text King change anything else on my products?

Alt Text King is free. No subscription, no usage charge and no trial that converts — whatever the size of your catalogue.

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.

Prototype answer unavailable
