Free Accessibility Tools: Frequently Asked Questions
Are these accessibility tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free with no account and no sign-up. A paid AccessBell plan adds scans of up to 500 pages per domain, daily monitoring, code-level fixes and a record of your work.
Which free accessibility tool should I start with?
Start with the Website Accessibility Checker on your home page. It shows how many automated WCAG issues the page has. Then check your brand colors with the contrast checker and any PDFs you publish with the PDF checker.
Can free tools make my website compliant?
No tool can make a website 100% compliant. These tools help you spot accessibility issues and fix them. Automated testing covers only part of WCAG, so a person still needs to check things like keyboard use and whether alt text makes sense.
Do the tools store what I check?
The color, chart and PDF tools run in your browser and never send your files or colors to us. The website checker fetches the page you enter to scan it. See our privacy policy for details.
