Built the way accessibility tools should be
Private by design
The contrast, PDF and statement tools run entirely in your browser. When a tool must send data, such as an image to the AI alt text service, it tells you first.
Honest about limits
Automated checks find only part of what WCAG covers. Every result says what still needs a person to review it.
Accessible themselves
Every tool works with a keyboard and a screen reader, at 200% zoom and on a phone.
Frequently asked questions
-
Are AccessMate Tools free?
Yes. All five tools are free to use, with no account or sign-up.
-
Will these tools make my website WCAG compliant?
No tool can do that on its own. The tools find and help fix many common issues, but WCAG conformance also needs manual review, such as testing with a keyboard and a screen reader.
-
Is my data uploaded or stored?
The Color Contrast Checker, PDF Accessibility Checker and Accessibility Statement Generator run in your browser and send nothing to us. The Website Accessibility Checker fetches the public page you enter, and the Alt Text Generator sends your image to an AI service to write a suggestion.
-
Which version of WCAG do the tools use?
WCAG 2.2, the current W3C recommendation. Level AA is the target most laws and policies refer to.
-
Do I need WordPress to use the tools?
No. The tools work for any website. The AccessMate WordPress plugin is a separate, free product for checking a whole WordPress site.
-
What is an accessibility statement?
A public page that says which accessibility standard your site aims for, how well it meets it, the known issues, and how people can contact you about barriers.
