Creating Infographics

Infographics are one of the hardest types of content to make accessible. When using an infographic, always make sure to include a transcript or text version of the content represented in the infographic.

You can incorporate the transcript in any of the following ways:

• Hide it behind the image using HTML or CSS
• Display the transcript below the image infographic. See an example at WebAim Links to an external site.
• Link to the transcript. Write up the transcript on a separate page using simple text. Provide a link to that transcript directly below or above the image infographic.
