Frequently Asked Questions
What file formats are supported?
Autoable supports PowerPoint (.pptx) and PDF (.pdf) files. You can also scan live websites with our Website Checker. Upload your file, click Scan to find issues, then Generate Fixes to review and edit suggested fixes before downloading.
What accessibility standard does Autoable target?
Autoable targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, with the rule engine designed to be expandable to WCAG 2.2. Checks include image alt text, color contrast, reading order, slide titles, document language, and link text.
What happens to my uploaded files?
Files are temporarily written to disk during processing and deleted immediately on download. They are never permanently stored on our servers. However, for alt-text generation all images are sent to an AI service.
Should I upload files with sensitive data?
No. Avoid uploading files with personal, confidential, or sensitive information. Use test or anonymized files whenever possible.
How does AI alt text generation work?
When Autoable finds images without alternative text, it uses AI to generate context-aware descriptions based on the image content and surrounding slide or page text. You can review and edit every suggestion before applying it to your document.
Can Autoable help with the ADA Title II April 2026 deadline?
Yes. The DOJ's ADA Title II update requires all public entities — including universities, colleges, and government agencies — to make digital content accessible by April 24, 2026. Autoable helps you remediate documents at scale, individually or via Canvas LMS integration.
Does Autoable work with Canvas LMS?
Yes. With a Pro or Institution plan, you can connect your Canvas LMS account using a personal access token. Autoable scans all files in a course, applies fixes, and uploads corrected files back to Canvas without breaking any links.
Is Autoable free?
During our beta, all checks and fixes are completely free with no account required. After beta, we offer pay-per-file pricing and monthly subscription plans starting at $9/month.
Can I process multiple files at once?
Yes. With a Starter plan or above, you can use Bulk Upload to drag-and-drop multiple PPTX and PDF files, choose which fix categories to apply, and download all corrected files as a single ZIP.
