IMAGE CAPTION PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Give images a useful first caption, ready for an editor to check.

Pair a selected image with a draft title and caption to help organize visual content. Keep the original image beside the proposed wording so an editor can confirm what it shows, correct mistakes, and approve any public or accessibility use.

The handoff

A proposed title and caption paired with the original image, ready for an editor to verify and revise.

Keep in mind

A caption may misidentify a person, object, setting, or event, or overlook important context. Verify names and factual claims with a reliable source, respect image privacy and permissions, and have an editor approve captions used publicly or as accessibility text.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Assign editorial and accessibility review

Name who verifies factual details and who approves text intended to serve as alternative image descriptions.

Test varied images
