PDF report
The PDF report is the final deliverable of your accessibility audit. It lets you communicate results to your client, the development team, or document compliance for an external audit.
Generating the report
Section titled “Generating the report”Once your audit is complete, click the “Export PDF report” button at the bottom of the plugin panel.
The PDF is generated locally in Figma and automatically downloaded to your downloads folder. No data is sent to an external server.
Report structure
Section titled “Report structure”The PDF report is organized into four sections:
1. Cover page
Section titled “1. Cover page”- Project name (pulled from the Figma file name)
- Audited frame name
- Audit date
- Your agency logo (Pro version — see below)
- Overall compliance score
2. Executive summary
Section titled “2. Executive summary”A summary table by criteria category:
| Category | Criteria checked | Passing | Violations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Text contrast | 12 | 9 | 3 |
| UI contrast | 5 | 4 | 1 |
| … | … | … | … |
This summary is designed to be readable by a non-technical decision maker.
3. Violation details
Section titled “3. Violation details”For each detected violation:
- WCAG criterion identifier (e.g.: SC 1.4.3)
- Violation description
- Concerned layer name
- Measured value vs required value
- Screenshot of the relevant layer (zoomed in)
- Correction recommendation
4. Manual checklist
Section titled “4. Manual checklist”A list of WCAG AA criteria that cannot be automatically verified in Figma, with a checkbox for each item. This section is intended for the accessibility expert who will complete the audit manually.
Report customization (Pro version)
Section titled “Report customization (Pro version)”Logo and branding
Section titled “Logo and branding”In the plugin settings (⚙ Settings → PDF report), you can:
- Upload your agency logo (PNG or SVG, recommended: 200×60 px)
- Enter your agency name and website URL
- Customize the accent color of the report (cover banner color)
- Add a custom message at the bottom of the cover page
Project name
Section titled “Project name”By default, the plugin uses the Figma file name. You can replace it with a more explicit project name for the client in the “Project name” field before export.
Watermark (Free version)
Section titled “Watermark (Free version)”In the Free version, the PDF report includes a “Generated with A11y Audit — free version” watermark on each page. The report content is identical to the Pro version.
To remove the watermark, upgrade to the Pro or Team plan.
Delivery best practices
Section titled “Delivery best practices”Accompany the report with context: the PDF report is a technical tool. When delivering to your client, clarify that:
- The report covers only the criteria automatically verifiable in Figma
- Full EAA compliance requires a complete audit (including manual verification and assistive technology testing on the developed application)
- The plugin is an aid tool, not a compliance certifier
