PDF Accessibility Checker
Check a PDF for accessibility signals.
Select a PDF to review its tags, language, title, bookmarks, forms, images, and text signals. The file stays on your device.
Private by design: analysis runs in your browser and the PDF is not sent to AuditYourWeb. This preflight cannot certify PDF/UA or WCAG conformance; manual reading-order and screen-reader testing is still required.

Open toolCommon questions about free PDF accessibility checker.
Is this PDF accessibility checker really free?
Yes. The preflight runs in your browser without uploading the document. It checks common structural signals and does not require an account.
Does a passing result prove that my PDF is accessible?
No. Automated checks cannot confirm reading order, accurate alternative text, table headers, color contrast, keyboard behavior, or screen reader usability. Manual testing is still required.
What does the online PDF accessibility checker inspect?
It looks for PDF tags, a structure tree, document language and title metadata, title display preferences, bookmarks, forms, images, text signals, and encryption indicators.
