Why now
~95%
of PDFs on the web don't meet accessibility requirements.
How it works
Drop in any PDF — born-digital or scanned.
We analyze its structure and show you what's broken and what fixing it will cost. The analysis is free.
Tags, reading order, headings, tables, lists, alt text, document language, title — rebuilt to PDF/UA-1.
Documents that only need structural repair keep their original content untouched.
You get the accessible PDF plus an issue-level report mapped to the standard's checkpoints — evidence you can hand to an auditor.
1 credit / page
Technical repair
The document's content is usable; only structure and tagging are broken
3 credits / page
Full reconstruction
Scanned files, no usable structure, OCR needed
0 credits
Already compliant
Analysis finds nothing to fix
Why a11yfy
Every upload gets an analysis and a credit quote up front: 1 credit (~€0.30) per page when the file only needs structural repair, 3 when it needs full reconstruction — and 0 when it's already compliant. Set by your document, not by a tier you guess.
A typical document is analyzed in about a minute and remediated in minutes. Agency turnaround for the same file is measured in days.
Every output is checked with veraPDF — the open-source industry validator — against the machine-checkable PDF/UA-1 requirements. The result is in your report, file by file.
Where the structure allows it, we repair the existing file in place — same visuals, same text — instead of regenerating it. And when a document does need full reconstruction, the result is still visually identical: the accessibility layer is invisible.
PDF/UA-1 plus WCAG 2.1 AA output covers the technical basis of the EU's EN 301 549 — for the public sector and the EAA alike — and US Section 508 / ADA Title II expectations.
Document processing runs in the EU. Inputs are deleted after 7 days, outputs after 30. Deletion is automatic, not a support ticket.
For teams that build
Remediate at upload time, inside your CMS, or in batch — with the same credit quote in the response before a job runs.

Technical repair: 1 credit per page. Full reconstruction: 3 credits per page. Credits from €0.30, cheaper in volume — and every new account starts with 20 free credits.
A tagged PDF conformant with PDF/UA-1 (ISO 14289-1), plus an issue-level accessibility report. The visual appearance of your document does not change.
Machine-checkable requirements — tags, structure, reading order, metadata — yes, and we validate each file with veraPDF. Some criteria, like whether an image description is meaningful, are judgment calls; our reports flag anything that deserves a human look. We don't pretend otherwise.
1 credit per page for technical repair, 3 for full reconstruction; the exact quote is shown before you confirm. A credit costs €0.30 or less. If a document already complies, processing it costs 0 credits — and if the output fails our veraPDF validation, you aren't charged at all.
Files are processed in the EU, encrypted in transit, and deleted automatically — inputs after 7 days, outputs after 30.
The EAA and the EU public-sector Web Accessibility Directive (via EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 AA and PDF/UA), US Section 508 and ADA Title II expectations, and equivalent national rules — including penalty levels by EU member state.
