About Image Describer

Image Describer is a free online AI image describer built for anyone who needs words for a picture. It turns photos, screenshots, and illustrations into clear, editable text without an account. Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 10 MB and 25 megapixels, then choose one of eight tasks: general description, people and clothing, objects and details, style and composition, extract text (OCR), alt text, image to prompt, or ask a question. For descriptions you can set the length to Short, Standard, or Detailed, pick an output language from English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, or Portuguese, and add optional extra instructions. The result appears in an editable panel where you can refine it, copy it, or download it as a .txt file. Text extraction keeps the original language and can preserve line breaks, which makes the tool useful for screenshots, receipts, and notes. Alt text mode lets you add page context so the generated description fits the image where it is used. The tool is completely free, requires no sign-up, and does not save images or descriptions to an account. It is made for writers, designers, developers, marketers, students, and anyone improving accessibility or drafting image copy.
