How to add Image Descriptions on Twitter?

 

(“ALT” is the abbreviation for alternative text, which is the technical name for image description.) When you post photos using the X app for iOS or Android, or on X.com, you have the option to compose a description of the images so the content is accessible to more people, including those who are blind or low-vision. Good image descriptions are concise and descriptive, helping people understand what’s happening in an image. 

Image descriptions, also called alternative text, are an easy way to make X accessible to people with disabilities. Like posts, image descriptions must follow the X Rules. 

Describing what’s in your images benefits people who are blind, have low vision, use assistive technology, live in low-bandwidth areas, or want more context. Without descriptions, your readers won’t know what your images contain, or why they're important. This missing information prevents people from engaging with your post. 

If you add more than one image to your post, you'll see arrows at the top of the dialog that allow you to navigate to each image to add the descriptions.
