Install A11y Scan in Chrome

Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store when available, or load the supplied unpacked build for beta testing.

A11y Scan team ·

When the Chrome Web Store listing is available, open its A11y Scan page and choose Add to Chrome. Pin A11y Scan from Chrome's Extensions menu if you want quick access.

Load a beta ZIP manually

Download the A11y Scan ZIP from the product page and extract it into a folder you will keep. In Chrome, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, choose Load unpacked, and select the extracted folder containing manifest.json. Do not select the ZIP itself. Keep the folder in place while using the unpacked extension; Chrome reloads it from that folder.

Use the extension only on pages you are authorized to inspect. Scanning happens in your browser. See the full testing walkthrough for demo pages and expected results.
