Visual impairment simulation and auditing tools to develop for accessibility.
ChromeLens is a Google Chrome extension that provides a suite of tools to help with web accessibility development.
- Lens (Vision Simulator)
Interact with a website as a completely/partially blind or a colorblind person.
- Accessibility Audit
Run a website through an series of accessibility rules and easily discover elements in your website that do not comply with them.
- Tab-tracker
Key website features should be navigable solely via the keyboard (tab button), while not making the user jump through hoops to get to a feature. With the tab-tracker, you can visually track the flow of navigation through a website.

- (2023-08-16) Max Rempel: Doesn't work. The shortcut CHrl Shif I also doesn't activate it.
- (2023-08-15) MAC: Absolutely useless ! Never worked, even once. Real sh** extension !
- (2022-10-27) Andrew Avery: Really great if a bit unclear how to use at first. Once installed, you need to hit Ctrl+Shift+I as others have said in this thread. Then for me I had to click more tabs before ChromeLens appeared and I was able to activate the features
- (2022-03-03) Dorinda Owenby: Absolute Garbage! it denies me the ability to actually find a picture quickly and easily. If I could give Negative Stars it would have negative 10,000 and that's me being kind. It's only made a perfectly functioning search for images a nightmare. now I have to try to disable this garbage just to find an image. delete it Google. I can't search for images with this trash programming. it was so much easier to search google for an image and now I can't do any image searching at all because of Google lens.

- (2022-01-03) Murray Collingwood: I like this extension because it gave me lots of good results. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be measuring against the WCAG "AA" standard.
- (2020-07-25) Joshua Hargrave: I can't find how to actually activate any of the options, I've got the extension but i can't work out how to use the avaliable things it provides. tl;dr How do I activate and deactivate the provided tools?
- (2020-03-14) Desiree' Abbott: Nice free extension which lets you simulate the different kinds of color blindness. Perfection.
- (2019-03-03) Laurence Lewis: May have been useful, however it reflects ARIA 1.0 which was superseded by 1.1 some reporting is wrong. Case in point it does not recognize aria-current="page"
- (2019-02-28) Johan Idstam: This helped me soo much to make my corporate web site with statistics available for more of the concerned people.
- (2018-02-16) Alec Ostheimer: Great Work. I love it. Only annoying thing is that you are not able to clear the lines from the tracing the tabs. If you could add that feature that would be much appreciated.
- (2016-07-26) Nishita Wojnar: This is an excellent addition to the existing DevTools within Chrome. Unlike third party products and services (e.g. Photoshop), it covers a greater range of visual disabilities. I consider this extension a must for front-end web developers and designers. It's a great way of testing accessibility. Note to all users who are considering downloading this extension: - Although the extension icon appears at the top of the browser, once added, it can only be accessed from "DevTools" (Ctrl + Shift + I).
- (2016-07-13) Ed Torba: It simply works great and it's easy to use it.
- (2016-07-11) Guilherme Nascimento (WebDeveloper, fullstack): Excellent, I tested all options that could, works very well.
