Alt text that
lives inside the image.

Most alt text is trapped in a database. Imbricalt writes it directly into the image file — IPTC, XMP — so every export, migration, and platform change carries the description with it.

The Chrome extension surfaces it on any site. No API. No config.

One workflow, two surfaces

Generate once. It surfaces everywhere.

Upload

Drop any JPEG or PNG. AI describes what is visually present — concise, accurate, built for screen readers.

Download with metadata

Alt text is written into the file itself — IPTC, XMP, and a unique Imbricalt signature. The description is now part of the image.

Surface anywhere

Upload the file to any CMS, site, or platform. The Chrome extension detects the Imbricalt signature and shows the alt text inline.

Chrome extension

Alt text surfaces on every site.

Once an image has been processed by Imbricalt, it carries its description forever. The Chrome extension scans any page, detects the Imbricalt signature embedded in the image metadata, and displays the alt text as a floating label — no API, no configuration, no backend.

It works on WordPress, Shopify, Notion, your personal blog, or any site serving images. If the file went through Imbricalt, the extension finds it.

The problem

Alt text has always been a property of the page, not the image.

How it works today

<img src="photo.jpg"

alt="A mountain landscape">

photo.jpg

(no embedded description)

The alt text is locked in the HTML. Download the file and it's gone. Migrate CMS and it's gone.
