Image Describer

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

I just launched Image Describer, a simple web tool that turns an image into usable text:

• Alt text (accessibility-friendly)

• Short captions (for creators/social posts)

• Detailed descriptions (scene + objects + composition)

Why I built it

I kept needing fast, reliable image descriptions for accessibility and content workflows. Most tools I tried were either too generic, inconsistent in tone/detail, or didn’t give me the format I actually needed. So I built a focused workflow:

upload → choose output style → get clean results you can copy/use

What’s live today

• Multiple output modes (alt text / caption / detailed)

• Fast generation + readable formatting

• Works for both simple and complex images

What I’m trying to learn (would love your feedback)

If you try it, could you tell me:

1. Accuracy — what did it miss that matters?

2. Preferred output — short vs long, literal vs expressive

3. Format — plain text vs structured sections vs JSON

4. UX — any confusing step in upload → results?
