Accessibility Statement

1. Commitment

Alexandru Jungean intends File Compression (https://compress.alexjungean.com) to be usable by as many people as possible, including people who use keyboards, screen readers, zoom, and reduced motion. The target for published routes is Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA.

This statement is prepared with Directive (EU) 2016/2102 as a reference model and with the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) in mind for consumer digital services. The Service is a small, free tool operated by a natural person. We still publish this statement because the compressor is a public product.

2. Conformance status

Partially conformant. Automated axe checks with tags wcag2a, wcag2aa, and wcag22aa run on the published routes. Chromium and Firefox are required release browsers. A keyboard path exists for adding files, opening Advanced settings, changing quality, and reaching Download. A skip link is present on every page. Focus is visible. Body hint contrast on the tool surface uses the muted token #9a9a9a against the lifted surface.

We do not claim full WCAG 2.2 AA conformance in every browser, assistive technology, or unreleased local change. WebKit capability, privacy, and offline proofs remain an open project gate and are not treated as production evidence.

3. Measures taken

• Semantic HTML for the tool, results list, and legal documents;
• one main landmark per page and a skip-to-content link;
• text alternatives for the logo and for before/after previews (filename-based);
• native file input as the keyboard and mobile source of truth;
• per-file errors in text, not colour alone;
• prefers-reduced-motion honored for decorative motion;
• no third-party widgets that would trap focus or inject inaccessible chrome;
• legal documents in English and Romanian on the same URL, with a jump link to the Romanian version.

4. Technical specifications and compatibility

The Service is a static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript artifact. It is designed for current Chromium and Firefox releases. Internet Explorer is not supported. Some encode/decode features depend on the browser. If a format capability probe fails, that format stays disabled and the page says so in text.

5. Known limitations

• WebKit is not yet a required release proof, so Safari behaviour may differ.
• Compression quality and size depend on the browser encoder; we cannot make every output identical.
• Before/after images are visual. The accessible name includes the filename; we do not describe picture content, because we never see it.
• Very large images may be rejected by local resource ceilings. The error is per file and in text.
• This statement does not cover alexjungean.com or the host’s own control panel.

6. Feedback and accessible alternatives

If you find a barrier, write to alex.jungean@gmail.com. Include the URL, the browser and assistive technology if you use one, and what you could not do. We will answer within a reasonable period and, where we can, describe a workaround.

Because files never leave your device, we cannot process an image for you as a substitute service. We can fix the public interface and explain a local workaround.

7. Enforcement

If you are not satisfied with our reply, you may contact Autoritatea Națională pentru Protecția Consumatorilor (ANPC) (https://anpc.ro) and, where designated, the market-surveillance authority responsible for digital accessibility under the national transposition of Directive (EU) 2019/882.

8. Preparation of this statement

Prepared on 20 August 2026, version 1.0, by the operator, based on automated axe tests, keyboard review, contrast tokens, and the project’s documented interaction and quality rules. It will be reviewed when a published route or a material interface change ships.
