How it works
The tool loads your PDF with pdf-lib and draws a full-page overlay using the PDF “Difference” blend mode — a white overlay turns every color into its exact inverse (black text becomes white, photos become negatives), while sepia or blue tints produce warmer or cooler night themes. The overlay sits above existing text, vector graphics, images, and scans, so everything on the page inverts consistently. A new dark-mode copy is saved for download; the original stays untouched.
Everyday uses
- Night readers — convert ebooks and research papers to dark mode for comfortable bedtime reading.
- Students — invert lecture slides and past papers to reduce eye strain during late study sessions.
- Developers — read white-background spec PDFs in a dark room without the glare.
- Travelers — dark PDFs are easier on the eyes and draw less attention on dim flights.
Frequently asked questions
Will text stay selectable after inverting?
Yes. The inversion is a blend-mode overlay above the original content — text, links, and structure are fully preserved.
Why do photos look like negatives?
Difference blending inverts every pixel, including images. That is the correct behavior for true dark mode; use a tinted mode if pure negatives feel harsh.
Is my document uploaded anywhere?
Never. pdf-lib runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
