Support the Project

Visua11y is an inclusive, innovative project born out of the Cloudfest Hackathon 2025. Our mission is to make infographics accessible to everyone — fast, free, and effective.

By addressing critical design elements such as contrast, text size, and color usage, our platform ensures that infographics not only look great but also meet state-of-the-art accessibility standards. We achieve this through a wide approach: generating accessible alternatives, and producing accessible code.

If you have any questions about this project, please contact us.

Key Features

Accessible Code Output

Whether you choose text, table or a more interactive alternative, our system produces semantically correct HTML, ensuring your designs are not only visually accessible but also technically compliant.

Automatic Design Checks

Our tool analyzes your design and automatically tests color contrast, enhances small text, and ensures that visual communication isn’t solely reliant on color. This supports readability and clarity for users with visual impairments.

Generating Accessible Alternatives

Recognizing that alt text alone isn’t enough for complex graphics, we generate detailed accessible alternatives. This can range from simple descriptive text to fully structured tables, complete with lists, instructions, and alt text.
