Free PDF Colour Inverter & Grayscale Converter

Welcome to Web tool Bazar's dual‑mode PDF processor. You can now either invert all colors (producing a negative) or convert to grayscale (black & white) any PDF document up to 1GB. Both operations run entirely in your browser – no upload, no privacy concerns.


🎯 Why Use These Modes?

  • Full Colour Inversion: Creates a negative effect. Great for dark mode reading, artistic projects, or saving printer toner when printing dark pages.
  • Grayscale Conversion: Removes all colour, leaving a classic black‑and‑white PDF. Ideal for printing on monochrome printers, reducing file size, or creating a uniform look.

⚙️ Technical Details

For colour inversion, we compute the complement of each RGB channel: new R = 255 - old R, etc. For grayscale, we use the standard luminance formula: gray = 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B. All pages are rasterized at 1.5x scale, then saved as JPEG (quality 0.9) inside a new PDF.

🧐 FAQ

Will the output be searchable?

No, text becomes part of an image. If you need searchable text, this tool is not suitable.

Can I choose a different quality?

We use a fixed high quality (0.9). You can compress the output later with our Compress PDF tool.

Is it really private?

Absolutely. All code runs locally; no data is sent to any server.
