Images can enhance accessibility. The expression “a picture is worth a thousand words” very much applies to accessibility as well. Complex concepts and content can be presented through images, illustrations, charts, graphs, etc. Icons can present complex functionality or information in a very small amount of space. As long as images are given appropriate alternative text and are presented in accessible ways, they can greatly improve the functionality, understandability, and accessibility of a web page.
