Content

Present info nonvisually

Illustrations can add a lot to your designs. So you need to make sure everything necessary is presented to people who don’t see the illustration as alternative text.

Meaningful alternative text includes the context and function of the illustration. Make sure everything you want users to know to continue in the flow is available to them.

You can include alternative text through means like the alt attribute. Or you can present necessary alternative text next to the illustration as text or headings, in which case you can set the alt attribute to an empty string.

If an illustration is only for decoration, leave the alternative text blank. Providing a description just gives users extra information that doesn’t help them.

Do

Use meaningful alt text.

A picture with alternative text underneath: Tell us how you feel about the app.

Don't

Don’t include unnecessary information that distracts from the main idea.

A picture with alternative text underneath: A man and a woman stand next to a bench with the woman's thumb pointing down and man's thumb pointing up.
