We currently need to add an extra text field to manage Alt text in CMS, which is a bit silly, but mainly makes us reach the 30 fields limit too quickly.
This is a huge problem from an accessibility (and legal) standpoint as a designer. I simply can't upgrade to business to double my fields for an issue that should be integral. It works on multi-images, so I don't understand why 1) alt text for image or 2) upload assets to CMS is not an option
Please add this feature. The limit of 30 CMS items is just about workable, but not if you need an extra text-field for every single image you upload. Right now, adding basic accessibility and SEO functionality means eating up 100% more of your CMS items per image, which is ridiculous.
We've now crossed the six-year mark with this still not being added to the single image field.
Having a limited number of CMS fields based on your plan is fine, but using two of those fields per single image field to support accessibility (and SEO) is not fine. Webflow claims that accessibility is very important to them, yet they make you do the image alt tag field yourself.
I don't understand how this doesn't have more votes. Even so, it shouldn't need them as this is a no-brainer.
As others mentioned, this is already present in the multi-image field. Please just add it to the single image field.
Plus the alt tag field for images should be supported for bulk imports. When I create a multi-image field, I can only edit the alt tag for each image one-by-one in the designer.
The multi-image field already has setting alt text implemented. This should be set on single image as well. Setting alt tags in a separate field is silly and impractical.
Copyright AND alt-text for images inside webflow CMS
We need the opportunity too add alt text AND copryright-information seperately to an image. For example a photography needs alt text but also copyright information from the photographer to display on the site. Right now we need to add extra fields to webflow cms for each image, what makes no sense. https://wishlist.webflow.com/ideas/WEBFLOW-I-4732
This is a very low hanging fruit, quick win "feature" that can be added, literally overnight, as it exists for multi-images. Why this isn't already present is quite baffling!
It doesn't make any sense to have an image field that doesn't have an alt-text associated to it. The new Multi-Image field has alt-text baked in; let's do the same thing for regular image fields! No more using an additional set of fields just for the purpose of alt-text.
YES. My SEMrush is yelling errors at me - all of my webflow sites have nearly 100 errors because image Alt tags are not specified, and cannot be specified in the CMS. I wasn't even aware of the extra text field work around but yes, that's pretty silly given the CMS field cap.

Hello, just popping in to note that my app, Asset Bae, can do CMS image alt text in bulk for you for free :). Hope it can help with this issue.
Man I need this... I run out of CMS items for all the alt tags I need to add...
How has this been open for almost 7 years and not addressed?! It's a bare minimum for accessibility

Soon it will be 6 years that this simple thing still has not been implemented... The speed at which Webflow improves its product ist just laughable.

Come on Webflow, sort it out please.
This is ridiculous, is there still no way to add alt text to single images in the CMS?

Omigosh this is definitely needed! Accessibility fail.
I want it too!
Following.
I'm continuing this discussion in 2019. Please add this feature. It's kind of silly that it doesn't exist yet.
This seems so straight forward a need. Everyone wants basic SEO tools.
