Alt tag or alternate text helps in crawling of image and indexing in google database. If your image take long time in loading then with the help of alt tag user can get the idea about what is this image.

Placing an alt tag on Images allows Google Bot to consider that image by name. If you want to get your website ranked better on Google search get every Alt image listed as your keywords.

Crawler can't read the images that's why we use alt tags.

If you’ve built a website and started to learn about SEO, you are probably familiar with the term alt text. Put simply, alt text (also referred to as alternative text or alt tags) are used to describe the images on your web page.

Alt tag is necessary for all images in SEO because search engine does not crawl images so we need to mention alternative text for that images to inform search engine what actually it is

Search engines don't read images so that you will need to put alt tags to be crawled and indexed.

The term "ALT tag" is a common shorthand term used to refer to the ALT attribute within in the IMG tag. Any time you use an image, be sure to include an ALT tag or ALT text within the IMG tag. Doing so will provide a clear text alternative of the image for screen reader users.
