PhotoCut Studio

Color blindness simulator (check accessibility)

Free tool · No sign-up · Your image is never uploaded

About 8% of men have some form of color blindness. If you design interfaces, charts or graphics where color carries information, it's worth seeing how someone with different vision perceives them. This tool simulates the main types of color blindness on your image and lets you compare them with the original — free and with nothing uploaded.

What you can simulate

Step by step

  1. Go to Color Studio and open the image or screenshot of your design.
  2. Pick the Color blindness mode.
  3. Select the type to simulate.
  4. Compare the before and after.

What to look for

The key question: does it read without color? If two chart categories look identical in the simulation, or an error button stops standing out, your design leans too hard on color. The fix is usually to add another signal besides color: icons, text, patterns or different brightness. Checking the contrast between text and background helps too.
