Accessibility Statement

Clipo aims to make its web-based background-removal workflow usable by people with disabilities and is working toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This is a target, not a claim that the current application fully conforms.

Accessibility is considered across the public website, image upload, processing states, browser-saved results, downloads, authentication, and trust pages.

• Semantic headings, landmarks, buttons, links, labels, and a native file input support assistive technology.
• The upload control can be reached and activated with a keyboard, and edge feathering uses a keyboard-operable native range input.
• Errors, cancellation, storage warnings, and deletion outcomes use alert or status semantics instead of relying only on color.
• Interactive controls include visible focus treatment, accessible names, and disabled states where appropriate.
• Upload previews have descriptive alternative text; decorative result thumbnails use empty alternative text.
• Layouts are responsive across the automated desktop and mobile browser profiles currently used by the project.

The latest automated accessibility checks were run on July 14, 2026. The homepage and published trust pages are scanned with axe against WCAG 2.0 A/AA, WCAG 2.1 A/AA, and WCAG 2.2 AA rules in Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, and mobile Chromium. Those checks currently report no serious or critical automatically detectable violations.

Automated testing cannot establish conformance or reproduce every assistive-technology experience. A complete manual release review with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, 200% and 400% zoom, text reflow, reduced motion, forced colors, touch, and error recovery is still required for a full accessibility claim.

• The result image comparison is operated by pointer dragging and needs an equivalent keyboard range control. The removed result remains visible and download links remain available.
• Batch-result selection uses standard buttons and needs the documented arrow-key tab/list interaction pattern.
• Processing announces status and supports cancellation, but does not expose determinate progress for each image.
• A formal browser and assistive-technology support matrix is still pending.
• The accessibility feedback process and public response target are still pending.

Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move between controls. Press Enter or Space on “Drop images here, or choose files” to open the file picker. Use arrow keys on the Edge feather range control, and activate processing, cancellation, downloads, and deletion controls with their standard keyboard commands.

If the pointer-only comparison prevents inspection, the transparent result can still be viewed without dragging and downloaded using the named cutout, full-size PNG, or mask links.

Clipo intends to provide an accessibility feedback channel that can accept the page or workflow involved, a description of the barrier, browser and assistive technology used, and a preferred response method. Do not send sensitive source images unless a secure process is specifically provided.

Include the affected page or workflow, what went wrong, the browser and assistive technology you used, and the best way to follow up. Do not send sensitive source images unless a secure process is provided.

This statement will be updated after material interface changes, completed manual audits, or confirmed barrier remediation. Known issues should be prioritized by impact on completing the core upload, review, download, and deletion journeys.
