The most-shared infographics have, on average, between 227 and 230 words. And this tells us a few key rules about texts on infographics: Visual elements should dominate. Texts should serve to direct attention to the main elements of the infographic.
How do you describe an infographic alt text?
Just like with recipes, you'll need Alt Text and a Long Description. The Alt Text covers the broad details, such as the title of the infographic, type of graphic (pie chart, flow chart) and source. The primary purpose of the infographic should be included.
How long should alt text be?
