Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an audit take?

Most audits complete within 2-5 minutes. Complex emails with many images or large file sizes may take up to 10 minutes.

What happens to my email content?

Your email content is processed for accessibility analysis and then stored according to your retention settings (default: 60 days). You can adjust retention from 1-365 days in your account settings.

Can I audit the same email multiple times?

Yes! Each audit counts toward your monthly limit, but you can test iterations of the same email as you make accessibility improvements.

Do you support team collaboration?
