What tools can help check email accessibility?
Still have a question, spotted an error, or have a better explanation or a source we should cite?
You're ready to send, but you can't see your email the way a screen reader user will. How do you know if it's actually accessible?
You don't need one magic tool. A combination of specialized checkers covers most accessibility issues. Here's what works:
For color contrast: WebAIM Contrast Checker is free and widely trusted. It takes hex codes and tells you if you've hit WCAG standards. For screen reader testing: NVDA is free on Windows, VoiceOver comes built into macOS and iOS, and JAWS is the paid option. For email-specific testing: Litmus and Email on Acid both preview how your email renders and include accessibility reports.
So Start with our Accessibility Checker to catch common issues quickly. If you're stuck on something specific, the Review My Emails SOS hotline can walk you through next steps.
