Alt text or alternate text is an attribute added to an image tag in HTML. This text appears inside the image container when the image can not be displayed. It helps search engines understand what an image is about. Alternate text is also very helpful in case images on a page cannot be found.

Hi Friends,
Alternate text (Alt text) is a text description that can be added to an image's HTML tag on a Web page. It is used when the image in the Web page cannot be displayed, in which case the Alt text is shown instead. It is also displayed when a user mouses over the image.

The image alt text attribute is used in HTML to describe an image's content and function. Typically, visitors will not see this text unless the images are disabled or broken. If that happens, the alt text is shown inside the image boundaries.

Image alt text helps to define your webpage images so that Googlebot crawls them and rank them higher in Google searches.

Google Bots cannot process images on the web. Therefore, it makes use of the alt attributes to understand what an image is all about.
The Image Alt text is generally considered as an alternate text for an image, which provides a textual alternative to the web crawlers to index the web page bearing the image.
Properly phrased alt tags can increase the SEO ranking of your website's images in Google images search results, as they tend to add more value to the user experience.

The required alt attribute specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image cannot be displayed.

The alt attribute provides alternative information for an image if a user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).
