I built Image Describer: AI alt text + detailed image descriptions (looking for feedback)

Hi DEV 👋

I’m launching Image Describer, a small web app that turns an image into:

Alt text (accessibility-friendly)

Short captions (social/creators)

Detailed descriptions (scene + objects + composition)

It started as a personal pain point: I needed consistent, accurate image descriptions for content workflows, and existing tools often felt either too generic or too “SEO spammy”. So I built something focused on clarity and usefulness.

What it does

Upload an image → choose an output style → get a clean description you can reuse.

The goal is to be helpful for:

creators writing captions / posts

teams improving accessibility (alt text)

anyone who needs structured descriptions quickly

Features (today)

Multiple output modes: alt text / caption / detailed description

Fast generation and readable formatting

Works well with both simple and complex images

What I’m looking for feedback on

If you try it, I’d love your thoughts on:

Accuracy — what did it miss that matters?

Tone — do you prefer more literal or more expressive descriptions?

Output format — plain text vs structured sections vs JSON?

UX — anything confusing in the upload → result flow?

Try it here: Image Describer

If you leave feedback in the comments, I’ll iterate quickly and share updates.

Thanks for checking it out 🙏
