Change PDF Background Color
Upload a PDF, choose your preferred background color, adjust sensitivity, and export a recolored PDF with the same page layout and order.
Higher values recolor fewer pixels.
How threshold works
Pixels that are very close to white are replaced by your selected color. Tune the threshold to control how aggressively background regions are recolored.

About Change PDF Background Color
What this tool does
Change PDF Background Color helps you replace light page backgrounds with a custom color while preserving page count and ordering.
How processing works
Each page is rendered in-browser, near-white pixels are detected based on threshold settings, and recolored output is rebuilt into a new PDF.
Color and threshold control
You can choose a hex color and tune sensitivity to decide how broadly the replacement applies across light background regions.
Privacy and security
Processing occurs in your browser environment. Files are not uploaded to external services during conversion.
Output expectations
The output preserves page layout structure but is rebuilt from rendered page images to apply color changes consistently.
When this is useful
Use this tool for branding updates, readability improvements, and creating visually consistent versions of existing PDF documents.
