VisuallyHidden

A container that is visible to screen readers but visually hidden. Commonly used for assistive descriptions, form validation hints, and other accessibility scenarios.

Basic usage

Visually hidden text

SubmitThis form can only be submitted once. Please confirm the content is correct before submitting.

Example

Reveal on focus (focusable)

With focusable, content stays visually hidden by default but appears when focused — the skip-link scenario (keyboard users Tab to a "skip to main content" link and it becomes visible). Tab to the link below to see it appear:

Reveal on focus

Skip to main content

↑ Hidden by default; appears when the link is focused via Tab
