You can install this plugin from the Plugin Store or with Composer.
Go to the Plugin Store in your project’s Control Panel and search for “alt”. Then press “Install”.
Open your terminal and run the following commands:

# tell Composer to load the plugin
composer require fork/craft-altify
# tell Craft to install the plugin
./craft plugin/install alt
By default, this plugin uses the BLIP Model via Hugging Face Inference API. You will need an API Key to be able to use it. It is receommended to set it via ENV variable, but it is also possible to set it directly in the plugin's settings.
In order to use another model, go to the plugin settings and choose one of those available. You can also set the model via ENV variable. This can be a class name, or one of the following names.
Model name | Link | Config name |
---|---|---|
BLIP (large) | https://huggingface.co/Salesforce/blip-image-captioning-large | BLIP large model (Hugging Face) |
BLIP (base) | https://huggingface.co/Salesforce/blip-image-captioning-base | BLIP base model (Hugging Face) |

You can implement your own alt text generator service by implementing the interface
fork\alt\connectors\alttextgeneration\AltTextGeneratorInterface
and configuring this plugin to use it
by setting your own generator's class name via ENV variable.
In a future release it should be possible to register alt text generators with an event.
- Make translation services site based to respect languages
- Implement more alt text generation services
- Maybe implement a self-hosted alt text generation service
- Maybe implement an alt text generation service running in browser with TensorFlow JS
- Implement an alt text generator registering event
- Make public on GitHub, release on Packagist and the Craft Plugin Store
