Frequently Asked Questions — Image Captioning
Is the image captioning tool really free?
Yes, completely free. No registration, no hidden charges, no watermarks, and no file size limits. All processing happens locally in your browser — your images never leave your device.
How does image captioning work?
Our tool analyzes your image using computer vision algorithms — it examines color distribution (dominant colors, saturation), lighting (brightness levels, exposure), contrast range, texture complexity (edge detection), and overall composition. Based on this analysis, it generates a natural-language description that summarizes the image's visual characteristics. No AI model or server-side processing is required — everything runs in your browser.
Is this using AI or neural networks?
Our tool uses algorithmic image analysis rather than neural network models. True AI image captioning requires large language models (300MB+) that cannot be practically loaded in a browser without server support. Our approach provides useful, accurate descriptions instantly without any model downloads, using proven computer vision techniques.
What image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, SVG, HEIC and more. Any image format your browser can render is supported.
Can I use these captions for SEO/alt text?
Yes! The generated captions make excellent alt text for web accessibility and SEO. They describe the visual characteristics of your images in natural language, which helps screen readers and search engines understand your image content.
How accurate are the generated captions?
The captions accurately describe the visual properties of your image — colors, lighting, contrast, composition. They may not identify specific objects, people, or scenes (which requires AI models). For general descriptions focusing on visual characteristics, the accuracy is very high.
How large of an image can I process?
Our tool handles images up to 50 megapixels (50,000,000 pixels total). If an image exceeds this limit, you'll see a warning and can try a smaller version.
