Images must have alternate text

text-alternatives/img-alt · WCAG 1.1.1 · Level A

Images must have alternate text. Add an alt attribute to <img> elements. Decorative images may use an empty alt attribute (alt=""), role='none', or role='presentation'.

Every image needs an alt attribute. For informative images, describe the content or function concisely. For decorative images (backgrounds, spacers, purely visual flourishes), use alt='' to hide them from screen readers. Never omit alt entirely—screen readers may read the filename instead. When an image is inside a link or button that already has text, use alt='' if the image is decorative in that context, or write alt text that complements (not duplicates) the existing text.
