Stop Remediating. Start Creating Accessible.
Every year, organizations spend thousands remediating documents that were born inaccessible. ClarityPDF.io breaks this cycle. Our platform empowers teams to parse existing content, create natively accessible documents, and publish in multiple formats—all without specialized technical training. For institutions like Washington State University managing content across 60+ departments, ClarityPDF transforms accessibility from a reactive cost center into a sustainable, integrated workflow.

Platform Capabilities (need to think how best to present the list)
The Case for Higher Education
Colleges have 60+ departments, colleges, and units continuously produce PDFs: reports, meeting minutes, fact sheets, policies, instructional materials, and forms. Under the DOJ Digital Accessibility Rule and most higher ed policy of these documents must conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The traditional approach—creating documents in Word or InDesign, exporting to PDF, and then paying for per-document remediation—is expensive, slow, and fundamentally unsustainable at institutional scale.
The ClarityPDF.io Solution
ClarityPDF shifts Higher Ed clients from a reactive remediation model to a proactive compliance model. Instead of producing inaccessible documents and fixing them afterward, departments create accessible documents from the start—without needing specialized accessibility training. The platform handles the technical complexity (tag structure, reading order, PDF/UA conformance) so content authors can focus on their expertise: the content itself.
