What is a PDF color editor?

Whenever you need to highlight important ideas, add some character to your content, and improve readability, you may just change the color of the text in a PDF. Our service allows you to work with your document without modifying it entirely. The original quality and structure remain the same. You'll edit directly in the area – only the text you select changes.

There's a great palette on our platform, which allows you to choose from 17 default colors and apply a custom one. Pick a color and apply it to the selected text. Save the PDF to your device and use it anytime.

How to darken text in PDF

It's hard to read on screen and worse on paper when the text in your file is too light or faded. There's not enough contrast between a pale text and a white background, and that's why you'll find it difficult to interpret the content. Papers often look like this because of poor scanner settings, low resolution, or worn originals.

However, you can make PDF text darker online on our platform and get a more readable version. Replace light grey with black, and you'll see the improvement. Check your file before downloading to make sure that all sections are clear.


How to change color in PDF for printing

Our tool allows you to download your papers or print them directly from the workspace. Using dark font on a white background reduces ink usage, while light text on a colored background has the opposite effect. Here's how to change PDF text color for printing:

  1. Select the written content and apply a dark color.

  2. Remove color images using our Delete Image tool, if needed.

  3. Check pages before printing.
