Available on the following Venngage subscription plans: Premium, Business and Enterprise.

What makes a download accessible?

Downloading your design as PDF or sharing your design as a Venngage link is best for accessibility. Our PDF downloads follow the international PDF/UA standard for accessible documents.

If you choose to download as PNG or PNG HD, users of assistive technology such as screen readers will not be able to access any of the content within your designs.

How do I download my accessible design?

Click the Download icon in the menu above the top toolbar (pictured below). The icon is a downward pointing arrow

The menu above the top toolbar in the upgraded Venngage Editor. These elements are visible from left to right: The Venngage logo, a green "BETA" button, "File" menu with downward v to open, text box with file name visible, Zoom menu (set to 100%), Undo and Redo buttons, "Autosaved" button with a checkmark icon, and the download icon, highlighted with a dark blue box.

Review your design (optional). You can access the Accessibility Checker from this window to review any outstanding issues in your design before you download.

A user clicks the download icon in the top left corner of the Venngage Editor top menu. In the download/share modal (box) that pops up, the user clicks the "Check for issues" button under the heading "Is your design accessible?". The download modal closes and the Accessibility panel opens on the right hand side, overlaying the design canvas; the user clicks "Check my design" and a list of accessibility issues appear.

Click "Download" when you're ready and select the format you'd like to export your file in; select PDF for a format compatible with accessibility tool use.

A user clicks the download icon in the top left corner of the Venngage Editor top menu. In the download/share modal (box) that pops up, the user clicks the "Download" button. A notification appears at the bottom of the screen, with a blue box that says "Downloading". After a moment, this is replaced by another a small notification in the same spot that reads "Downloaded". The file appears in the bottom bar of the user's browser.
