When accessibility collides with image overload

Creating accessible image descriptions manually is time-consuming, costly, and nearly impossible to scale—especially for organizations managing large media libraries. Yet starting in June 2025, alternative text for images becomes legally mandatory under the European Accessibility Act (EAA). Non-compliance can result in fines of up to €80,000.

Who’s Most Affected?

Media and Publishing Companies with extensive photo archives and editorial platforms
E-Commerce Businesses displaying product images at scale
Educational Institutions managing digital learning materials

EAA Compliance Is Not Optional

Under the EAA, all digital content must be accessible. That includes providing descriptive alt text for all images—especially for businesses operating websites, media portals, or digital databases with visual content.

Manual captioning isn’t just inefficient—it’s a compliance risk. Without a scalable solution in place, companies face both operational bottlenecks and legal exposure.
