Accessibility statement

We want everyone to be able to use PDF365, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or voice control.

What we’ve done

  • All tools can be operated with a keyboard, including reordering files and pages (focus a drag handle and use the arrow keys) and moving placed items.
  • Pages use proper headings, landmarks and labelled form fields, and there is a “Skip to content” link.
  • Progress, results and errors are announced to screen readers.
  • Text and controls are designed to meet WCAG 2.2 AA colour-contrast requirements in both light and dark mode.
  • The layout adapts to zoom up to 400% and to small screens without horizontal scrolling.
  • Animations are reduced when your device asks for reduced motion.

How we test

We check pages with automated tools, including Google Lighthouse (which scores our main pages 100 for accessibility), and by working through the tools with a keyboard and a screen reader. The site has not yet had an independent accessibility audit, so we don’t claim full conformance with WCAG 2.2 AA.

Known limitations

  • Drawing a signature with a pointer is not possible for everyone. Sign PDF also lets you type your name or upload an image instead.
  • Page thumbnails are images of the page. They are labelled by page number but their content is not described.
  • PDFs created by tools that copy pages (merge, split, extract, organise, delete) do not keep accessibility tags from the original. See our guide to accessible PDFs.
  • Placing text and images precisely on a page is easiest with a pointer; keyboard nudging is available but slower.

Feedback

If you have difficulty using any part of PDF365, or need information in a different format, email contact@pdf365.co.uk with “Accessibility” in the subject. Tell us the page and what went wrong, and we’ll aim to respond within five working days.
