How to Use the Colorblindness Simulator

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to get the most out of this tool

  1. Upload Your Image Start by uploading the image or design you want to test. The tool supports common image formats like JPG, PNG, and SVG. This allows you to see how your design appears to people with different types of color blindness.
  2. Select the Type of Color Blindness Choose from various types of color vision deficiencies, such as:
    • Protanopia (Red-Green Color Blindness)
    • Deuteranopia (Green-Weak Color Blindness)
    • Tritanopia (Blue-Yellow Color Blindness)
    • Achromatopsia (Complete Color Blindness)
    Selecting the correct type ensures you can accurately test your design for accessibility.
  3. View the Simulated Image Once you upload the image and select the type of color blindness, the tool will generate a simulated version of your design. This shows how it appears to individuals with the selected color vision deficiency.
  4. Analyze and Adjust Your Design Review the simulated image to identify any accessibility issues. For example, check if text is readable, if color contrasts are sufficient, and if important elements are distinguishable. Use this feedback to make necessary adjustments to your design.
  5. Save or Export the Results After testing, you can save or export the simulated images for reference. This is especially useful for sharing with team members or clients to ensure your design meets accessibility standards.

Pro Tip: Use this tool early in your design process to ensure accessibility from the start. It’s much easier to make adjustments during the design phase than after the project is complete.
