Accessibility

Our goal

We aim for Paperbrass to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. We test with a keyboard, check color contrast in light and dark mode, and fix problems as we find them. We have not had an independent accessibility audit yet.

What we support

• Every tool can be operated with a keyboard, with visible focus indicators and a “Skip to content” link.
• Text and controls are designed to meet WCAG AA contrast in both light and dark themes.
• Buttons and form fields have labels; progress and results are announced to screen readers.
• Pages can be reordered with the keyboard: focus a page, press Space, move it with the arrow keys and press Space again.
• Animations are reduced when your device asks for reduced motion.
• Layouts are designed to adapt to small screens and browser zoom.

Known limitations

• Drawing a signature or a redaction box needs a mouse, touch or stylus. Alternatives: type your signature in the Signature maker, and use “Find text to redact” in Redact PDF.
• Page previews are images of your document. Screen readers can’t read the document content in the preview; the files you download keep their original text.
• Placing items in Fill & sign is easiest with a pointer. With a keyboard, choose an item, focus a page and press Enter to place it, then move it with the arrow keys.
