Comment (by sajjad67):

 I have completed a review of the following external image sources and
 tools to check whether they add any **default alt descriptions** to images
 on export or download.

 **Photo Editing Software**

 * Photoshop ✅
 * Lightroom ✅
 * Canva ✅
 * GIMP ✅
 * Photopea ✅
 * Figma ✅

 **Stock Photo Websites**

 * Depositphotos ✅
 * Envato Elements ✅
 * Pexels ✅
 * Unsplash ✅

 **AI-Generated Image Platforms / Tools**

 * DALL·E ✅
 * MidJourney ✅
 * Stable Diffusion ✅
 * Leonardo AI ✅
 * NightCafe ✅
 * Fotor AI ✅
 * Canva AI Image Generator ✅

 **Findings:**
 After testing all of the above, none of these applications, stock photo
 providers, or AI image generation platforms include any **default alt
 description** or accessibility metadata (`AltTextAccessibility`) in the
 exported/downloaded images.

 So far, there appears to be no external source that automatically provides
 usable alt text at image creation or download.
