How do I add Alt Text to images uploaded in Asana so that my Blind Coworker has an image description?

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us @Sam_Gould! As of now, Asana does not support adding alt text directly to images uploaded to tasks or comments. However, there are some workarounds you can use to ensure your coworker gets the information:

Add the image description in a comment or task description.

  • Example:
    “Image: Screenshot of the Q2 roadmap with milestones labeled by color. The green boxes indicate completed items, while the yellow ones are in progress.”

Use a shared document like Google Docs with images and alt text.

  • If you frequently use images in your workflow, consider linking to a document where alt text can be added natively.
  • Mention in the Asana task: See this Google Docfor accessible versions of all visual assets.

Just voted and encourage others to as well (using the Vote button near the title)! This feels like a pretty notable accessibility gap, so hopefully Asana will consider it.
