| Definition |
Images with [alt=""] or [role="none"] must only be used to identify purely decorative images, spacing or stylistic purposes. |
| Purpose |
- If an image is used purely for stylistic or decorative purposes, users of screen readers do not need to know that the image exists and no alternative is needed.
- If an image contains information, but is mistakenly identified as decorative, users of assistive technologies will not have access to the information.
