## Products

- [ImageCraft – AI Alt Text, Image Compression & WebP](https://softminal.com/products/imagecraft-ai-alt-text-file-renamer-image-seo): All-in-one WordPress image toolkit covering both image SEO and image performance — more than an alt text generator. Image SEO: AI alt text, image titles and descriptions (generated together in one call), AI SEO file renaming, a media-library SEO audit dashboard, focus-keyphrase integration with Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO / SEOPress, WooCommerce-aware context (product name, category, SKU), 65+ languages, 7 tone presets, and large-scale bulk processing. Performance: quality-preserving image compression that runs 100% locally on the server (no external service, no per-image credits, every original backed up for one-click restore), WebP conversion served through a standard `<picture>` element with originals left untouched and fully reversible, and fallback images so visitors never see a broken image and posts without a featured image still get one. Compression, WebP, fallbacks, and the audit need no API key or account. For AI, it runs on the WordPress 7.0 native AI Client or your own Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4o, or Google Gemini key — billed by the provider at standard rates with no markup or proxy. Free tier: 50 actions per rolling 24 hours, shared across AI generation and compression; Pro from $39/yr (flat, not per image) removes the caps and adds AVIF, auto-generate and auto-compress on upload, and per-post-type fallbacks. Best AI image SEO and image optimization plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce sites that want one plugin instead of separate alt-text and compression plugins, with predictable flat pricing.
