Accessibility

Last updated: October 7, 2026

We want convert-box to be usable by everyone, including people who use a keyboard, screen reader, magnifier or voice control. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA.

What we've done

• Body text uses Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed by the Braille Institute to be easier to read for people with low vision.
• Text and controls meet AA colour-contrast levels in both light and dark mode.
• Everything works with a keyboard. Focus is always clearly outlined, and a "Skip to content" link is the first thing on each page.
• Drag and drop is never required: there is always a "Choose files" button.
• Conversion progress and results are announced to screen readers.
• Buttons and controls are at least 44 pixels tall, so they're easy to tap.
• The layout works on phones and when zoomed to 200% or more.
• Animations are switched off if your device asks for reduced motion.
• The cookie banner never blocks the page, and "Reject all" is as easy to reach as "Accept all".

Known limitations

• PDFs made from documents (for example Word to PDF) store each page as an image. They look right, but screen readers can't read the text in them. If you need an accessible file, convert to HTML or keep the DOCX.
• Converted files are only as accessible as the originals. Missing image descriptions or headings can't be added automatically.
• Reading text from images (OCR) can make mistakes, especially with handwriting or low-quality photos.
• Ads are supplied by Google, and we can't fully control how accessible they are.
