**Alt text**
{% endhint %}

Alt text is a textual description of the image. It is used when the image cannot be displayed, either because the file is missing or for users relying on screen readers.&#x20;

Alt text is also used by search engines to understand the content of the image. It’s crucial to fill it with a concise and relevant description of the image.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Title**
{% endhint %}

The title field is typically used to provide a title for the image.&#x20;

However, it’s important to note that the image title is not displayed by default on most websites.&#x20;

It can be used for SEO purposes and to provide additional information to users who view the properties of the image.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Caption**
{% endhint %}

The caption is a descriptive text that is usually displayed beneath the image on the page where it’s published.&#x20;

It’s useful for giving more context or information about the image.&#x20;

Unlike alt text, the caption is visible by default on the page, making it an excellent way to add supplementary information.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Description**

This description is typically used to offer more in-depth information about the image and may be displayed in certain WordPress theme configurations or image galleries.
