Canva & Accessibility
In order to make your Canva content accessible to users with visual disabilities, you’ll need to take one of the following steps:
- Export your content as a PDF
- Choose "PDF Print" for the best quality
- When exporting, be sure to not select the checkbox that reads “flatten PDF”. Flattening the PDF will make it impossible for screen readers to read the text within your design.
-
Provide a comparable text-based alternative
Social media example: Content posted for social media can be exported from Canva as a JPEG image, but you’ll need to take care to write a manual summary of your design. You don't need to provide a verbatim transcript due to limited space, but make sure to include sufficient information in the description so that viewers can understand your message. You’ll also want to take care to not use decorative fonts in those descriptions (which are not at all accessible).
