How does the Set Page Background Color work?
Set the background colour of every page. Useful for: cream-paper look on novel drafts (#fff8dc), dark-mode reading PDFs (#1f1f1f), themed prints (brand colour). Content sits ON TOP of the colour rectangle so text and images keep their original rendering. Runs in your browser — works on any non-encrypted PDF.
🔒 Security & Privacy
All processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your browser, never touch our servers, and are not stored anywhere. Close the tab and the file is gone.
📱 Use it on any device
Works in any modern browser — Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android, and tablets. No installation, no app to download. Just open the page and start.
⚡ Quick & easy
Drag, drop, click. Most files process in seconds, not minutes. No watermarks added to your output, no per-day limits, and the tool always shows the result before asking you to download.
🎁 Always free, no signup
Free to use, every time. No account creation, no email required, no “trial” that converts to a paid plan. We make money from ads so you don’t have to pay.
