How do you check accessibility in Figma?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 7:21 pm

In order to make sure that your designs are accessible, you can use the following techniques:

1. Use a standard web accessibility checker

There are many accessibility checkers available online. You can use one of these to check your designs for accessibility.

2. Use the Figma Accessibility Checker

Figma includes its own accessibility checker. To use it, open the Accessibility Checker dialog box and select the checker you want to use.

The checker will then check your design against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.

3. Use a checker that is specific to your design

If you are not sure which accessibility checker to use, you can use a checker that is specific to your design. For example, if you are designing a website, you can use the WCAG 2.

PRO TIP: If you’re not careful, checking accessibility in Figma can be a real pain. There are a few things you need to watch out for, or you could end up spending hours fixing problems that could have been avoided. Here are a few tips:

1. Make sure you check all the different states of your elements. For example, if you have a button, make sure you check how it looks when it’s hovered over, clicked, or disabled.

2. Pay attention to the contrast of your colors. You want to make sure that your text is easy to read against the background.

3. Be careful with using images instead of text. If you do use images, make sure they have good contrast and are easy to understand.

4. Test your design with different screen sizes and devices. This will help you catch any problems that might only show up on certain devices.

You can also use the Check for Accessibility feature in Figma to check your design for accessibility.

The checker will then check your design against the WAI-ARIA Guidelines.

5. Use the accessibility features in Figma

You can also use the accessibility features in Figma to make your design more accessible. For example, you can use the magnifying glass to zoom in on the content, or you can use the voiceover feature to explain the content to users.
