Level Access Figma plugin

About this plugin

Effortlessly layer accessibility into your designs with the Level Access Figma plugin 

As a designer, you know what’s best for your users, including those who rely on assistive technologies to access your experiences. While accessibility is a necessity in design, it can often come with challenges. Challenges like knowing how to find issues to fix, understanding how to fix them, or learning how to avoid them in the future.

This is why we at Level Access developed our Figma plugin. This plugin is one of several design-oriented tools created by designers, for designers, with the goal of helping you effortlessly layer accessibility into your designs without creating new manual work.

How does it work?

In short, choose an element in your design that you’d like to test, select it, and review your results!

Our plugin works by helping you check for common accessibility issues in the core building blocks of your design—things like buttons, links, text input fields, and checkboxes. Once you select an element you’d like to check, identify the element within the plugin, and review your results instantly. 

What if I’m new to accessibility? How will I know what to check for or what to fix? 

When incorporating accessibility into design, you should be able to find and fix any issues in your design quickly, so you can continue your core design work without interruption.

This is why every time you scan an element in your design, we reveal every accessibility consideration for that element, from color contrast and typography to target sizes and labels. If there is an issue, we identify what needs to be changed, and let you apply that change with the push of a button.

Whether you’re new to accessibility or a seasoned veteran, you can quickly run comprehensive tests, find issues, and fix them in a few short steps.
