Original Source

This statement covers the remotion.dev website - the marketing pages, blog, and documentation you are reading right now.

It does not cover the accessibility of Remotion products such as the Remotion Player, Remotion Studio, or Remotion Editor Starter. See the product accessibility overview for that. It also does not cover remotion.pro, which is a separate website operated by Remotion AG.

Conformance status

remotion.dev aims to conform to:

remotion.dev is currently partially conformant with both standards. "Partially conformant" means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Our most recent audit scored 54% against RGAA 4.1.2 (43 criteria conformant, 37 non-conformant, 26 not applicable).

We have a detailed internal VPAT 2.4 Rev and RGAA 4.1.2 audit report for remotion.dev. We have decided not to publish these as downloadable documents at this time; the full report is available on request at [email protected].

Preparation of this statement

  • Methodology: Manual audit against the 106 RGAA 4.1.2 criteria, combined with DOM / accessibility-tree inspection, Axe DevTools, and a Colour Contrast Analyser.
  • Assistive technologies tested: NVDA with Chrome on Windows.
  • Pages sampled: Home, Contact, Blog, and 10 documentation pages covering navigation, forms, embedded media, and interactive tools such as Remotion Convert.
  • Most recent audit: 14 April 2026.

Known limitations

  • Color contrast. Our brand blue (#0B84F3) does not meet the 4.5:1 contrast ratio against white required by WCAG 1.4.3. Several other elements (search placeholder, "Ask AI" button, sidebar tags, chart labels) also fall short.
  • Video and multimedia. Autoplaying homepage and blog videos lack captions, audio descriptions, and a pause/stop/hide control, and one silent video has no text alternative (WCAG 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.5, 2.2.2).
  • Keyboard operability. Some interactive elements - toggle switches, sliders, drag-and-drop demo widgets, and the "Ask AI" button - are not yet operable by keyboard alone (WCAG 2.1.1). Focus can also land on hidden elements or escape the mobile menu (WCAG 2.4.3).
  • Focus visibility. The keyboard focus indicator is missing on several buttons, including "Copy" buttons on code blocks and some form controls (WCAG 2.4.7).
  • Forms and labelling. Some inputs (for example the newsletter field) rely on placeholder text instead of a persistent, programmatically associated label (WCAG 1.3.1, 3.3.2).
  • Status messages. Confirmations such as "Copied" and progress indicators on the Convert tool are not announced to assistive technology (WCAG 4.1.3).
  • Structure and headings. Some visually-styled headings and lists are not marked up with the corresponding semantic HTML elements (WCAG 1.3.1, 2.4.6).
  • Third-party embeds. Content from third parties, such as embedded YouTube players, may have accessibility gaps outside our direct control, including single-character keyboard shortcuts and non-unique iframe titles.

What is already accessible

  • A skip-to-main-content link and consistent, descriptive page titles on every audited page.
  • <html lang="en"> and no keyboard traps detected anywhere in the audit.
  • Consistent navigation and more than one way to find any page.
  • Data tables and layout markup that read correctly with assistive technology and linearize properly without styles.
  • Text spacing and orientation changes do not cause loss of content.
