How to add alt tag to category pictures

[AP_broman]

Magento ver. 1.9.3.4 - https://shop.andersonprocess.com/

How would I go about adding an alt tag to my category images. They're different than product images and don't have a field to type in a description. Would this be something where I would have to update the template file? Focusing my efforts on SEO for the week and it came to my attention that none of my category images have alt tags. I have 655 categories at the moment and plan on adding hundreds of more in the future. Would be extremely helpful!

@AP_bromanBy default Magento has alt tag on all the images. For category images alt/title tag contains the name of the category. If you are not seeing it means you are using custom theme which has the issue. Below is an article has multiple code snippet to achieve the same.
