← VPAT / Accessibility Conformance Report Generator
This generator vs. hiring a paid VPAT/ACR consultant
A paid consulting engagement usually bundles two things: testing your product, then formatting the result into the standard table. This free tool only does the second half — it turns conformance answers you already have into a correctly formatted ACR, and catches the completeness gaps that get a report sent back.
What each one is for
A paid VPAT/ACR consulting engagement — the kind offered by accessibility consultancies, typically priced around $2,000-$5,000 per public pricing pages in this space — usually includes manual and automated testing of your product against WCAG, a consultant's own judgment on each criterion's conformance level, and the finished document assembled from that testing.
This generator only assembles. You (or your own engineering, QA, or accessibility team) choose every conformance level and write every remark from your own testing; the tool formats those answers into the standard VPAT 2.5-shaped table and flags the specific completeness problems that make an ACR look untrustworthy to a procurement reviewer — an unexplained partial-support row, or a missing header field. See why procurement rejects a VPAT for the reviewer's own checklist this is built against.
It exists because the two halves have very different costs. Testing requires accessibility expertise or tooling your team may or may not have yet; formatting a 50-row table correctly, consistently, and completely does not, and there is no reason to pay a consultant's rate for the part a deterministic tool does for free.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| Have we already tested our product's WCAG conformance? | Not this tool's question — that testing has to happen first, by you or a consultant. |
| We know our conformance levels; how do we format an ACR? | This generator — free, in your browser, no account. |
| Will our draft look complete to a procurement reviewer? | This generator's completeness check, before you submit. |
| Should we pay for a full accessibility audit instead? | A different, larger decision this tool does not evaluate. |
| Is our draft uploaded anywhere? | No. Everything stays in this browser tab; optional local-only autosave never leaves your device. |
This generator is a formatting tool, not an audit or testing service. It does not test, scan, or assess your product, and it does not determine any criterion's conformance level on your behalf.
This tool needs no account and no sign-in: it is a static page, formatting runs in your browser, and nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.
Common questions
Should I use this generator or hire a paid VPAT/ACR consultant?
Depends what you still need. A paid consulting engagement typically bundles two separate things: testing your product against WCAG (manual, automated, or both) to determine each criterion's conformance level, and formatting the results into the standard ACR table. This tool only does the second half. If you or your engineering/QA team have already tested the product and know your conformance levels, this tool gets you a correctly formatted ACR for free. If nobody has tested the product yet, no formatting tool — this one included — can substitute for that testing.
Does this tool test my product for accessibility conformance the way a consultant would?
No, and it is built specifically not to. You choose every conformance level (Supports, Partially Supports, Does Not Support, Not Applicable) and write every remark yourself, from your own testing. The tool never scans, crawls, or assesses your product, and it never determines a conformance level on your behalf — that keeps the liability where it belongs: every substantive claim in the finished report is yours, based on your own testing, not an automated guess this tool made.
What does the completeness check catch that a consultant would also flag?
The specific pattern WebAIM's own guidance on VPAT procurement names as the recurring problem: a Partially Supports or Does Not Support row with no remark explaining why, and a missing header field. A reviewer treats an unexplained partial-support row as untrustworthy regardless of who assembled the document, so this tool flags exactly that gap before you submit — the same completeness bar a consultant reviewing a draft would apply.
Why would a small vendor use this instead of paying for a consultant?
Cost and completeness, not quality of testing. A $2,000-5,000 engagement prices some vendors out of documenting conformance at all, which means a buyer gets no ACR rather than a partial one. A vendor that has already done some of its own testing — even informally, even incomplete — can use this tool to produce a properly formatted, honestly partial ACR today, rather than skip the requirement entirely while saving for a consultant.
