Frequently asked questions

Is it free to change PDF colors?
Yes. The tool is completely free with no signup and no watermark. You can invert or replace colors in as many PDFs as you need.
Is it safe and private?
Yes. The work happens in your browser, so your PDF is not uploaded to a server. Your document stays on your device and private to you.
Does inverting colors lower the quality?
No. Recoloring is just a color change, so text stays sharp and your pages keep their original layout and resolution.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers — no app to install.
What is the difference between invert and replace?
Invert flips every color in the document, which is great for a dark-mode, white-on-black look. Replace swaps one specific color for another across the file.
Will the new colors stay in the file?
Yes. The color change is saved into the downloaded PDF, so it looks the same in any reader or device, not just here.
