What it checks

The checker reports missing title, desc, role, accessible name, and inline event handlers that should be reviewed for keyboard access.

Accessibility model

Decorative SVGs can use aria-hidden, while meaningful SVGs should expose an accessible name and appropriate role.

SVG Accessibility Checker reports findings with severity and context — fix hard failures first, then re-run for a clean report.

What gets checked

SVG Accessibility Checker parses the document locally and validates it against structural rules and this tool's focus area, reporting each finding with enough context to locate it.

Common findings and fixes

Typical issues include missing viewBox attributes, duplicate IDs, unsafe active content, and deprecated structures. Most have a direct fix in the matching edit or optimize tools.

Severity and manual review

Parse errors and unsafe content are hard failures; style-level findings need judgment based on where the SVG ships. Automated checks complement, not replace, a visual review.

Privacy

Validation runs locally in your browser. Files are parsed in the page and never uploaded.

How to use

  1. Paste SVG. Paste meaningful or interactive SVG markup.
  2. Review issues. Check title, desc, role, and accessible name findings.
  3. Update markup. Add accessible metadata or mark decorative SVGs as hidden.

Frequently asked questions

Does this prove WCAG compliance?
No. It catches practical SVG accessibility signals, not a full WCAG audit.
Should every SVG have a title?
Meaningful SVGs should have an accessible name. Decorative SVGs can be hidden from assistive tech.
Does it inspect external usage?
No. It checks the SVG markup you paste.
Is SVG Accessibility Checker free?
Yes. SVGKit tools are free to use with no account required.
Does SVG Accessibility Checker upload my files?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
Which standards does it check against?
The SVG specification plus the specific rules this tool focuses on. Findings reference the rule so you can judge each one.
Does it fix problems automatically?
No. Validation reports findings; the edit and optimize tools apply the fixes.
Can it produce false positives?
Rarely. When a finding does not apply to your context, note it and move on — the tool cannot see how the SVG is consumed.
