Adding alt text to your images
Currently, it is possible to add alt text to images scheduled to X/Twitter, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Facebook, and Bluesky through Buffer.
📝 Looking for the mobile version of the Adding alt text to your images article?
To add alt text to your image, click on the image you uploaded within your Buffer composer. This will open the image in a larger view and there will be a text box at the bottom where you can add your alternative text description, up to 1,000 characters.
Once you're done, click Save.
It is not currently possible to add alt text for Instagram, TikTok, or Threads posts in Buffer. We are committed to improving in the area of accessibility, and you can find our full Accessibility Statement here.
