Since the alt text is read by a screen reader, we don't see it just looking at a web page. How can you check if an image has alt text if you can't see it? Good news-- all web browsers have an option to inspect the image.
Check the alt text of an image on a web page:
- Right-select the image
- Select the Inspect option
- Locate the code that begins with
alt="
- The text in the quotes is the description of the image
For example, if you inspect the image below, you should see the code alt=
with the description "A group of women of all ages collaborating at a work table."
