Check a document for accessibility

Check a PDF, Word, PowerPoint or Excel file against WCAG 2.2 Level AA, with no account. These are the same automated checks our scanning service runs on documents.

Your file never leaves your browser

The checks run on this device. The document is not uploaded, stored or sent anywhere, and closing the tab discards it.

PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx) and Excel (.xlsx), including templates and macro-enabled files.

What gets checked

PDF

The machine-checkable conditions of the Matterhorn Protocol (PDF/UA-1), measured against veraPDF, plus WCAG checks PDF/UA doesn't cover: text contrast, images of text, headings, lists, tables, links, language and reading order.

Word, PowerPoint and Excel

The rules of Microsoft's Accessibility Checker, and more: alternative text, headings, table headers, contrast against the theme, slide titles and reading order, sheet names, merged cells and document language.

Every WCAG 2.2 A and AA criterion

Each criterion is marked failed, needs review, no issues found, manual check or not applicable, so nothing reads as passed that wasn't checked. Level AAA findings are shown for information.
