PaperbackKit· for publishers & authors

Make your EPUB EU accessibility-ready — in seconds

Since June 2025 the EU Accessibility Act requires ebooks sold in the EU to be accessible, and stores can delist titles that aren't. Drop an EPUB below: we fix the machine-checkable requirements automatically and hand you a clear report and the corrected file.

What gets fixed

Accessibility metadata

Writes schema.org accessibility metadata (access modes, features, hazards) and a human-readable summary — the fields EU stores now read.

Language & titles

Declares the document language and page titles on the package and every content file, so assistive tech reads the book correctly.

Image alt-text (AI)

Finds images with no alt attribute and writes descriptive alt-text with AI, leaving your existing markup untouched.

Navigation

Generates a proper EPUB 3 navigation document with a table of contents and landmarks if one is missing.

A whole catalogue? Use the API

Publishers with a backlist can remediate in bulk. Send a single EPUB to POST /api/v1/remediate or a zip of titles to POST /api/v1/remediate-batch, authenticated with your x-api-key header. You get the corrected files plus a per-title report you can keep for your records.

Honest about what this is

PaperbackKit is an automated accessibility service: it fixes and verifies the requirements a machine can check — metadata, language, alt-text, navigation and structure. Automated tools only cover part of accessibility; things like whether an alt-text truly describes an image, or whether reading order makes sense, still need a human eye. So this is a tool, not a legal certificate — responsibility for each published title stays with the publisher, exactly as it does with any formatting or publishing tool. We surface anything that needs a human look in the report.
