Alt Text Missing Report for accessibility and archive readiness
Alt Text Missing Report in Fileza helps reviewers find image-description risks before sharing or publishing PDFs. Upload a PDF and the tool estimates image XObject, Figure role, Alt text, and ActualText signals, then produces a conservative report showing where alternative text may need manual review.
Automated tools cannot decide whether an image description is meaningful, decorative, too long, or contextually correct. Fileza therefore avoids claiming that alt text is complete. Instead, it highlights missing or suspicious signals, gives severity levels, and suggests review steps for charts, logos, scanned images, diagrams, photos, and figure-heavy documents.
This workflow is useful for schools, churches, agencies, businesses, marketers, HR teams, and anyone publishing PDF handouts or reports online. It pairs well with the Tagged PDF Inspector and Reading Order Inspector because images, reading order, and structural tags often need to be fixed together. The report helps teams prioritize work by showing whether a document appears image-heavy and whether alternative-text markers are visible at all. It is a practical first step before writing descriptions, marking decorative images, or rebuilding figures in the source file.
After downloading the report, open the PDF in an accessibility editor, add meaningful Alt text to informative images, mark decorative images as artifacts, and validate the final document with a PDF/UA-capable checker if conformance matters.
