Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does inverting colors affect the text readability?
No, text remains fully legible — only the color values are flipped, turning white backgrounds dark and dark text light.
Q: Can I invert colored images inside the PDF too?
Yes, the inversion applies to the full rendered page, including embedded images and diagrams.
Q: Is this the same as a PDF reader’s built-in dark mode?
It achieves a similar visual effect, but the inversion is baked into the file itself so it looks dark in any viewer, not just ones with a dark mode toggle.
Q: Is the file processed without uploading?
Yes, color inversion runs entirely client-side in your browser.
