Nope. Alt is kind of more important to give users a bit better chances when searching **images** , but filename is the important one, but the most important thing is to use right context, ”_this an apple: \<image of apple named apple.jpg, alt is apple\>_.

For SEO of a site alt is totally meaningless.
