Secondly after uploading your image click on image and you find properties. Using alt tag is directly optimizing images for better SEO. In properties you find, Title and Alt.
What is alt tag and how to use it in images ?
There has been a long explanation in google groups discussion about this issue. And, they clearly explained that, Alt text is meant to be an alternative information
source for those people who have chosen to disable images in their
browsers and those user agents that are simply unable to “see” the
images. It should describe what the image is about and get those
visitors interested to see it. When you click on properties the be image shows up.

Without an alt text an image will be displayed as an empty icon: In Internet Explorer Alt text also pops up when you hover over an image. Last year Google officially confirmed that it mainly focuses on an alt text when trying to understand what an image is about.

(though alt text seems more important for crawlers) – so provide
explicit information on an image to encourage them to view it or get
them interested. - include your main keywords in both of them but keep them different. Keyword stuffing in Alt text and Title is still keyword stuffing, so keep them relevant and meaningful.
