# img-redundant-alt
Enforce img alt attribute does not contain the word image, picture, or photo. Screenreaders already announce `img` elements as an image. There is no need to use words such as *image*, *photo*, and/or *picture*.
## Rule details
This rule takes one optional object argument of type object:
```json
{
"rules": {
"jsx-a11y/img-redundant-alt": [ 2, {
"components": [ "Image" ],
"words": [ "Bild", "Foto" ],
}],
}
}
```
For the `components` option, these strings determine which JSX elements (**always including** ``) should be checked for having redundant words in the `alt` prop value . This is a good use case when you have a wrapper component that simply renders an `img` element (like in React).
For the `words` option, these strings can be used to specify custom words that should be checked for in the alt prop, including `image`, `photo`, and `picture`. Useful for specifying words in other languages.
The rule will first check if `aria-hidden` is true to determine whether to enforce the rule. If the image is hidden, then rule will always succeed.
### Succeed
```jsx
// Will pass because it is hidden.
// This is valid since photo is a variable name.
```
### Fail
```jsx
