    ARIA Graphics Roles (part of WAI-ARIA Graphics Module) define the accessible structure of graphical content like SVGs. They include graphics-symbol (for icons/signs), graphics-document (complex standalone graphics), and graphics-object (sub-parts). They help screen readers interpret visual information correctly.
    
          
    
          
    
            
    
            
    Without a proper role, assistive technologies may treat an SVG as a meaningless image or ignore its content entirely. Adding role="img" with an aria-label or graphics-document makes the graphic perceivable and operable for all users.
    
          
    
          
    
            
    
            
    role="img" is a general image role. graphics-symbol is more specific for icons and simple graphics that convey a single idea (like a gear icon). It tells assistive tech that the graphic is symbolic, often used with aria-label for a short text alternative.
    
          
    
          
    
            
    
            
    Yes! It is recommended. For example: <svg role="graphics-symbol" aria-label="Settings">...</svg>. The role defines the type of graphic, and the aria-label provides the accessible name.
    
          
    
          
    
            
    
            
    It parses your SVG code in the browser and inspects each element. It flags missing roles on root <svg>, missing accessible names when roles are present, and <g> elements without role="group" when they contain relevant structure. It also suggests roles based on element type (e.g., <path> with aria-label → graphics-symbol).
    
          
    
          
    
            
    
            
    Auto-fix only adds or modifies ARIA attributes; it doesn’t change your graphic design. But always review the output. It adds role="img" or graphics-symbol where appropriate, and inserts an aria-label placeholder if missing. You should replace the placeholder with meaningful text.
