How to fix images missing alt bulk on Wix

Add descriptive alt text to every product and content image at the template level so search engines and screen readers can understand all images on the page.

Steps for Wix

  1. In the Wix Editor, click any image on the page → click 'Settings' (the gear icon) in the toolbar that appears → fill in the 'What's in the image? (Alt Text)' field.
  2. For Wix Stores product images: go to the Wix Dashboard → Store Products → click a product → under the product image, click 'Edit' → add alt text in the alt text field. Repeat for all product images.
  3. For bulk updates across many products, use the Wix CSV import/export: go to Store Products → More Actions → Export Products; fill in the 'image alt text' column in the spreadsheet; re-import.
  4. For Wix Blog post images, open the blog post editor, click each image → Settings → Alt Text.
  5. Note: Wix does not expose direct template code to owners, so image-by-image or CSV bulk update is the available approach.

What is images missing alt bulk?

Alt text (alternative text) is a short written description placed inside an image's HTML tag that explains what the image shows. When a page has dozens or hundreds of images missing alt text, it almost always means the root template — the product page layout, collection grid, or blog post design — is generating image tags without the `alt` attribute filled in. Fixing the template fixes every image it produces in one go, rather than editing each image individually.

Google explicitly uses alt text to understand image content and rank images in Google Images search — a meaningful source of free organic traffic for product-heavy stores. Pages where the majority of images have no alt text send a weak content signal to Google, which can suppress rankings for the entire page, not just the images. Beyond SEO, missing alt text is a WCAG 2.1 accessibility failure: screen-reader users — including those with visual impairments — cannot understand your product images at all, exposing your store to accessibility complaints and, in some jurisdictions, legal liability. Fixing this at the template level is a single change with store-wide impact across every page that template renders.
