## When to use
- When preparing a website or web application for a pre-launch accessibility compliance review.
- When product managers need a high-level summary of accessibility issues to prioritize development tasks.
- When developers want to quickly check a specific block of HTML code for WCAG violations without deploying it.
## How it works
- Provide the content to be audited by entering a live URL, pasting raw HTML code, or uploading an HTML file.
- Select your target WCAG compliance level (A, AA, or AAA) and optionally enable the project manager summary.
- Enter a custom title for your report to keep your audit documentation organized.
- Generate and download the structured PDF report, which details the detected issues grouped by severity.
## Use cases
- Generating compliance documentation for clients to demonstrate that a newly developed landing page meets WCAG AA standards.
- Auditing legacy HTML templates to identify and log accessibility debt into a project management system.
- Running quick checks on individual UI components during the development phase by pasting raw HTML snippets.
## Frequently asked questions
### What types of accessibility issues does this tool detect?
It checks for common WCAG violations including missing image alt text, missing form labels, incorrect heading structures, missing landmarks, iframe issues, tabindex misuse, and inline color contrast failures.
### Can I scan a live website instead of pasting HTML?
Yes, you can enter a public URL in the URL input field to scan a live webpage directly, or you can upload an HTML file.
### What is the difference between the WCAG levels?
WCAG A represents the minimum level of accessibility, AA is the standard required by most accessibility laws and organizations, and AAA is the highest and strictest level of compliance.
### What does the PM Summary feature do?
The PM (Project Manager) Summary includes a high-level overview of the audit results at the beginning of the PDF, making it easier for non-technical stakeholders to understand the overall accessibility status.
### What format is the final report?
The tool exports a structured PDF file containing all detected issues, grouped by severity for easy triage and sharing.
