The free plan is now 10 items a month, down from 25. A password-protected post no longer shows its meta description before the password is entered. Also stops an older Alto plugin replacing shared code and offers release notes by email. Nothing changes in how alt text is generated.<\/p>","1.0.24":"
Tells you when this site has used its free allowance for the month, including when automatic alt text for new uploads is paused, and shows how much is left once you are close. Nothing changes in how alt text is generated.<\/p>","1.0.20":"
Your licence key is no longer displayed in full or sitting in an editable box where a stray keystroke could replace it. Settings shows the last four characters, and changing the key now takes a deliberate click. No change to how anything is generated.<\/p>","1.0.18":"
Security hardening: the connection to our AI service is always encrypted, and an insecure address entered by hand is refused. Also fixes Generate alt text doing nothing on the Edit Media screen. Nothing changes in how alt text is written.<\/p>","1.0.13":"
Adds a Settings link on the Plugins screen so AltoGraph is easier to find after installing. No change to what it does or what it sends.<\/p>","1.0.12":"
Adds a small privacy-friendly signal so we can tell whether the in-plugin review prompt is working: whether it was shown, snoozed, dismissed or clicked. It records the site, not you, and nothing about what you do on WordPress.org. No other change.<\/p>","1.0.11":"
Housekeeping only, nothing about the plugin's behaviour changes. The privacy disclosure now lists every action that sends an image rather than two of them, and the review prompt appears in the Media library instead of only in Settings.<\/p>","1.0.10":"
Your Media library now has an Alt text column showing which images have none, with a Generate button on each. Earlier versions gave no sign the plugin was there. And when an image cannot be read, its alt text comes from the filename and now says so rather than reading as AI-written.<\/p>"},"ratings":[],"assets_icons":{"icon-128x128.png":{"filename":"icon-128x128.png","revision":3607830,"resolution":"128x128","location":"assets","locale":"","width":128,"height":128},"icon-256x256.png":{"filename":"icon-256x256.png","revision":3607830,"resolution":"256x256","location":"assets","locale":"","width":256,"height":256},"icon.svg":{"filename":"icon.svg","revision":3607830,"resolution":false,"location":"assets","locale":false}},"assets_banners":{"banner-1544x500.png":{"filename":"banner-1544x500.png","revision":3607830,"resolution":"1544x500","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1544,"height":500},"banner-772x250.png":{"filename":"banner-772x250.png","revision":3607830,"resolution":"772x250","location":"assets","locale":"","width":772,"height":250}},"assets_blueprints":{},"all_blocks":[],"tagged_versions":["1.0.0","1.0.1","1.0.10","1.0.11","1.0.12","1.0.13","1.0.18","1.0.2","1.0.20","1.0.24","1.0.3","1.0.31","1.0.4","1.0.5","1.0.6","1.0.7"],"block_files":[],"assets_screenshots":{"screenshot-1.png":{"filename":"screenshot-1.png","revision":3770905,"resolution":"1","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1103,"height":799},"screenshot-2.png":{"filename":"screenshot-2.png","revision":3588197,"resolution":"2","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1329,"height":747}},"screenshots":{"1":"The AltoGraph settings screen with the external-service notice and automation toggles.","2":"Alt text for a newly uploaded image, written with automatic alt text switched on in Settings."}},"plugin_section":[],"plugin_tags":[1953,17214,223883,6357,5777],"plugin_category":[34,55],"plugin_contributors":[269126],"plugin_business_model":[],"class_list":["post-330930","plugin","type-plugin","status-publish","hentry","plugin_tags-accessibility","plugin_tags-alt-text","plugin_tags-alt-text-generator","plugin_tags-image-seo","plugin_tags-meta-description","plugin_category-accessibility","plugin_category-seo-and-marketing","plugin_contributors-reallyusefulappco","plugin_committers-reallyusefulappco"],"banners":{"banner":"https:\/\/ps.w.org\/altograph\/assets\/banner-772x250.png?rev=3607830","banner_2x":"https:\/\/ps.w.org\/altograph\/assets\/banner-1544x500.png?rev=3607830","banner_rtl":false,"banner_2x_rtl":false},"icons":{"svg":"https:\/\/ps.w.org\/altograph\/assets\/icon.svg?rev=3607830","icon":"https:\/\/ps.w.org\/altograph\/assets\/icon.svg?rev=3607830","icon_2x":false,"generated":false},"screenshots":[{"src":"https:\/\/ps.w.org\/altograph\/assets\/screenshot-1.png?rev=3770905","caption":"The AltoGraph settings screen with the external-service notice and automation toggles."},{"src":"https:\/\/ps.w.org\/altograph\/assets\/screenshot-2.png?rev=3588197","caption":"Alt text for a newly uploaded image, written with automatic alt text switched on in Settings."}],"raw_content":"\n
No API key. No account. No setup.<\/strong> Unlike most AI tools, which make you sign up for OpenAI or Anthropic and paste in your own paid API key, AltoGraph runs the AI on our hosted service. Free for 10 items every month.<\/p>\n\n Your Media library gets an Alt text<\/strong> column, so you can see at a glance which images have none, and a Generate<\/strong> button on each one that does not. One click writes alt text from the picture itself. There is a bulk action for a backlog, and a Generate button in the Attachment details panel too.<\/p>\n\n Nothing is sent anywhere until you ask for it. If you would rather not click, you can switch on automatic alt text for new uploads, and automatic SEO meta descriptions with JSON-LD structured data when you save a post, in Settings. Both are off until you turn them on. AltoGraph never overwrites alt text you have written yourself.<\/p>\n\n AltoGraph Pro raises that limit (subject to fair use).<\/p>\n\n What is included<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Privacy-friendly by design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Automation is off until you switch it on, and AltoGraph only ever sends what it needs to do the job (see the External Services section below). A site ID (a hash of your site URL) is used for usage counting; it does not need any personal data about your site's visitors. You can also choose to give us an email address for release notes and product updates; it is optional, and nothing stops working without it.<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects to the AltoGraph API<\/strong> to generate alt text and metadata. It is required for the plugin's core features.<\/p>\n\n Nothing is sent until you use one of the Generate buttons or the bulk action, run the backfill, or upload an image or save a post with automation switched on. If you choose to give us an email address, it is sent when you submit it.<\/p>\n\n\n No. The AI runs on the AltoGraph service, so there's nothing to set up.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. AltoGraph only fills in alt text that is missing.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Automation is off by default. Data is only sent after you enable it, and exactly what's sent is listed in the External Services section.<\/p><\/dd>\n Generation pauses for the rest of the month. Upgrade to Pro to raise the limit, or wait for the next month.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n
