About Color Blindness Simulator

Color Blindness Simulator applies a color vision deficiency model to an image so you can check whether a design still reads for people who see color differently.

It runs in the page. The image is drawn to a canvas in your browser and never uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Drop in an image or pick a sample.
  2. Choose a deficiency type and strength.
  3. Compare the original and the simulation with the slider.

Common questions

Which types are covered?

Protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia, their milder anomalous forms, and full achromatopsia.

How accurate is it?

It uses a widely cited linear model. It is a good guide for design review, not a clinical test.

Can I save the simulated image?

Yes. The compare view has a Save PNG option for the current result.

Is the image uploaded?

No. It is processed on a canvas in your browser.
