About

View the alt text applied to images without the need to inspect each image or use a screen reader.

It makes the alternate text on social media posts visible to sighted users on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and more. Human generated alt-text is visible on a blue background, AI-generated alt-text has a maroon background and images without alt text (or have non-specific system-generated alt text, "Image", for example) have a red line under the image.

Options allow for customization of each color and which sites view the alt text.

To note: Social media sites may change their HTML structure without notice. This may cause inconsistent results when viewing alt text on some platforms. If you notice inconsistencies, please file a bug report at: https://github.com/nickdenardis/social-visual-alt-text/issues
