What is an image alt tag?

An HTML element used to image tags to give a text alternative for search engines is known as an alt tag, also known as "alt attribute" and "alt description." The use of product photographs in alt tags can enhance an e-commerce store's search engine rankings.

"Alternative text" for an image is contained in ALT tags or ALT attributes. ALT tags are employed to provide information about the image or what it represents. The advantage of visually challenged individuals who use screen readers when browsing is one of the key goals of ALT tags. For users of text-only browsers or those who browse the web without graphics, ALT tags are also used.
