Accessibility
Built to be used by everyone.
Good software should work for every body and every ability. Accessibility is part of how we design Surf, and we are always improving it.
Controls that meet you where you are.
Scale the text, raise the contrast, calm the motion, and keep captions on. Surf adapts to how you read, watch, and move through it.
See all featuresBuilt in, not bolted on.
These aren't add-ons you hunt for in a submenu. They're part of how Surf is built, and they're there from the first launch.
Dynamic text sizing
Scale type up without breaking layouts. Honors your system text-size setting out of the box.
High-contrast mode
A bolder palette that pushes contrast well past the minimum for readability in any light.
Reduced motion
Turn off the parallax and transitions. Respects your OS reduce-motion preference automatically.
Captions everywhere
Captions on video and Shorts, so sound is never the only way to follow along.
Full keyboard navigation
Every interactive element is reachable and operable without a mouse or touch.
Screen reader support
Semantic markup and labels so VoiceOver, TalkBack, and others can describe the app clearly.
Color-safe palettes
Meaning is never carried by color alone, so the interface reads the same for everyone.
Comfortable targets
Tap and click targets sized to be easy to hit, with clear focus states throughout.
Our standard
We design and test against the WCAG 2.1 AA standard, and we treat accessibility as something that is never finished. Every release is a chance to do better.
We know we won't get everything right. When we fall short, we want to hear about it, and we want to fix it quickly. Accessibility isn't a checkbox to us; it's whether a real person can use the thing we made.
Something not working for you?
