Definition

This is descriptive text that you can add to images to make them accessible to people who are using screen readers.

Alternative text helps people with visual impairments understand the content of your images. LinkedIn automatically assigns alt text if you don't provide it, but it's best to write your own descriptive alt text.

Usage

Always add descriptive alt text to your images to make your content accessible and inclusive.

Tips

• Be specific and descriptive: Provide enough detail to accurately convey the content of the image.
• Keep it concise: Aim for a brief description that is easy to understand.
• Include relevant keywords: Incorporate keywords that are relevant to your image and your industry.
• Avoid using 'image of...' or 'picture of...': Screen readers automatically announce that it's an image.
