💡 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I add alt text to images on Bluesky?

When attaching a picture to a draft post, click the '+ALT' badge displayed directly over your uploaded image thumbnail to paste your descriptive summary.

Q: How do I write Bluesky alt text for a screenshot with text and still stay under 1,000 characters?

State what the screenshot is, transcribe only the text needed to understand the post, and identify important buttons, prices, dates, or results. Put the key meaning first and verify the final normalized count is below 1,000 characters.

Q: Should I repeat my Bluesky post caption in the image alt text?

No. Use alt text for information that is visible in the image but missing from the caption, such as chart trends, outfit details, location context, or embedded text. If the image is decorative and adds no information, mark it as decorative when the publishing interface supports that option.
