Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about a11yfy – PDF Accessibility Checker & Fixer

Yes. It runs in your browser using open-source libraries. It does not use the a11yfy API and works without an account.

Remediation uses credits from your a11yfy account — typically 1–3 credits per page, depending on the PDF. The dashboard shows an estimate before you confirm, and the scan itself never costs anything. Current pricing: https://a11yfy.com/pricing

Yes. Scanned, image-only PDFs are OCR-processed and rebuilt with a full tag structure, including an invisible, screen-reader-readable text layer.

No. Remediation preserves the visual appearance; it adds the accessibility structure (tags, reading order, alternative texts, metadata) underneath.

Password-protected, XFA-form and portfolio PDFs are detected up front, clearly labelled, and never sent to the service. Digitally signed PDFs are detected too: remediation rewrites the file and would invalidate the signature, so the fix only starts after you explicitly confirm it on the document. My security plugin reported that a PDF file changed. That is the point of remediation: the accessible version replaces the original file (same URL). The original is kept in a protected backup folder and can be restored with one click from the Media Library.

Remediated PDFs are your content and stay by default. In Settings you can choose to restore the original files on deletion instead. All plugin data (tables, options, scan results) is removed either way.

Partially. Scanning works through a local proxy; in-place replacement automatically falls back to conservative mode for non-local files. Full offload support is planned.

Conservative mode swaps links in post and page content (the_content) and wherever WordPress resolves the attachment URL (wp_get_attachment_url). Links hard-coded elsewhere — page-builder modules (Elementor, Divi, …), widgets, navigation menus, or theme templates — may keep pointing to the original file and should be checked manually. The default in-place mode does not have this limitation: the accessible file replaces the original at the same URL.
