Built to be usable by everyone

We design for keyboards, screen readers, high contrast and reduced motion.

Our approach

FreePDFToolbox aims to be usable by everyone, including people using screen readers, keyboards and assistive technology. The site is built on semantic HTML with progressive enhancement.

What we implement

  • Semantic HTML — proper landmarks, headings and lists throughout.
  • Keyboard navigation — every interactive element is reachable with Tab; the global search supports arrow-key navigation and Enter to open.
  • Visible focus — a strong focus indicator on all interactive elements.
  • Screen reader support — labels on all controls, aria-live status announcements for processing progress, and descriptive alt text.
  • Contrast — text meets WCAG AA contrast targets on the light background; status messages never rely on color alone.
  • Reduced motion — all animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting.
  • Touch targets — buttons and controls are at least 44px tall.

Known limitations

  • The interactive tool panels require JavaScript. If JavaScript is disabled, tool pages still show their descriptions, instructions and FAQ, but the processing panel cannot run (processing is inherently a scripted operation).
  • OCR quality depends on the document, not the interface.
