Captionizer for Confluence
Add clear image captions to Confluence with AI
From technical diagrams and screenshots to illustrations, make the visual information in your Confluence pages easier to understand.
Captionizer is a free, Rovo-powered image captioning app that generates contextual descriptions for your images. Review and refine the suggestions, then add them to your pages without writing every caption yourself.
Free for Confluence Cloud. Requires Atlassian Rovo to be enabled.
- Free on the Atlassian Marketplace
- Works as an agent in Rovo Chat
- 100 captions per user each month
- Caption one image or several at once
Give your images the context they need
Images, screenshots and diagrams can explain something much faster than words alone. But without captions, readers may miss important details or struggle to understand how a visual relates to the content around it.
Captionizer uses AI to help you add meaningful descriptions to your Confluence images, making documentation clearer without adding unnecessary work for authors.
Help readers understand what your visuals show
A screenshot may demonstrate a process, while a diagram might explain a complex system. A useful caption helps readers understand what matters.
Captionizer analyzes images and the surrounding page content to suggest descriptions that reflect their context.
Give readers a clearer explanation of the visuals in your documentation, without needing to describe every image from scratch.
Spend less time writing and formatting captions
Creating captions manually can become repetitive, particularly when a Confluence page contains several screenshots, diagrams or illustrations.
With Captionizer, you can use Atlassian Rovo Chat to request captions for individual images or several images on the page.
Let AI handle the first draft, so you can spend more time developing the content itself.
Make every caption fit your content
AI-generated captions are a starting point. You may want to add technical details, adjust the wording or make an explanation more relevant to your readers.
Review Captionizer’s suggestions and use Rovo Chat to request changes before adding them to your Confluence page.
Keep control of the final wording while reducing the effort needed to produce useful, consistent captions.
Caption images directly in Confluence
Imagine you’re creating a technical guide with several screenshots and a diagram explaining how a system works.
The images are important, but you don’t want readers to have to interpret them without additional context. Writing and formatting each caption manually would take time.
Here’s how Captionizer can help.
1. Open Captionizer in Rovo Chat
Open your Confluence page, launch Rovo Chat and select the Captionizer agent.
Tell Captionizer which images you’d like to caption. You can request an individual image or several images on the current page.
2. Generate and review your captions
Captionizer analyzes the selected images and suggests descriptions based on their content.
Review the proposed text and ask for changes where additional information or a different explanation would be useful.
3. Add captions to your page
Once you’re happy with the suggestions, use Captionizer to add the captions directly to the images in your Confluence page.
Your documentation now includes written context alongside the visuals, helping readers understand what the images are there to communicate.
The outcome
Clearer visual documentation, with less manual caption writing and more control over the final result.
See what a useful caption adds
A good caption does more than describe what’s visible. It helps readers understand why an image matters to the information they’re reading.

Working on more than image captions?
Clearer visuals are one part of creating useful Confluence documentation. Your wider requirements might involve managing the document lifecycle, introducing AI into everyday work or making content reviews more consistent.

Frequently asked questions about Captionizer for Confluence
Is Captionizer for Confluence free?
Yes. Captionizer is free to install and use through the Atlassian Marketplace.
Each user receives an allowance of 100 captions per month, managed through a credit system. Your credits refresh monthly, based on when you first started using Captionizer.
You can ask the Captionizer agent how many credits you have remaining.
Do I need Atlassian Rovo to use Captionizer?
Yes. Captionizer is built as an Atlassian Rovo agent and works through Rovo Chat in Confluence Cloud.
You’ll need access to Rovo in your Confluence environment to generate captions. Installing Captionizer without Rovo access won’t make the agent usable.
Once it’s installed and Rovo is available, you can select Captionizer from the Rovo agents in Confluence.
Can Captionizer generate captions for multiple images?
Yes. Captionizer can generate captions for individual images or multiple images on a Confluence page.
For best results, AppFox currently recommends requesting captions for up to six images at a time.
You can use prompts such as “Caption the first and third image on this page” to select specific images.
Can I review and edit captions before adding them?
Yes. Captionizer generates suggested captions that you can review and refine.
You can ask the agent to adjust a description, include more detail or change its wording before applying the caption to your page.
Because captions are AI-generated, it’s important to check that they accurately represent the image and its meaning.
Does Captionizer automatically make Confluence pages WCAG compliant?
Captionizer helps authors add descriptive captions to visual content, which can improve comprehension and support better content accessibility practices.
However, image captions and alternative text serve different purposes. Adding captions alone doesn’t guarantee that a page meets WCAG accessibility requirements.
Authors should continue to provide appropriate alternative text where needed, review AI-generated descriptions and follow their organization’s accessibility standards.
Do I need special permissions to use Captionizer?
You need access to Captionizer through Rovo and the appropriate Confluence permissions.
Captionizer can only update image captions on pages you have permission to edit.
Your Confluence administrator will also need the appropriate permissions to install the app.
