What Describe Image is
Describe Image is an AI-driven workspace that converts images and videos into text. Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF up to 10MB and choose an output mode: a detailed or simple description, screen-reader alt text, SEO copy, OCR text in 32 languages, a social caption, a product list, an image-to-prompt, or a chart summary. Visitors can try the basic tools for free twice, and after that you log in and spend points, with different models costing different amounts. It is built for content creators, e-commerce sellers, accessibility helpers, researchers, and social media managers who need to turn visual material into usable words quickly and at volume.

What to watch out for
The free trial is only two tries, so real use means logging in and spending points, and points cost varies by model, which can add up quickly for heavy or high-quality work. Uploads are capped at 10MB and limited to common image formats, so large files must be shrunk first. Because the text is AI-generated, OCR and descriptions can contain mistakes, awkward phrasing, or missed detail, so review anything before you publish it, especially for accessibility or product listings where accuracy matters. Regeneration spends more points, so refine your prompts to avoid waste.
