Use Dark Mode for Google Docs to turn bright pages into a comfortable dark theme and give your eyes a break while you write, edit, and read online.
🌙 Dark Mode for Google Docs – Eye-Friendly Writing in Your Browser
Dark Mode for Google Docs is a Chrome extension that lets you toggle dark mode on and off on any website, including Google Docs and Google Sheets. Switch to a sleek dark theme in a single step so you can focus on your work without harsh white backgrounds.
🔆 The Problem: Bright Pages, Tired Eyes
Most editors and productivity tools, including Google Docs and Google Sheets, use a bright white background by default. If you spend hours reading, writing, or working in front of the screen, that constant brightness can cause eye strain and make it harder to stay comfortable—especially at night or in low light.
✅ The Solution: Dark Mode for Google Docs & Google Sheets
This extension applies a dark mode to the pages you visit in Chrome. You can quickly toggle dark mode on or off on any website, with special focus on Google Docs and Google Sheets, so you can work in a calmer, easier-on-the-eyes environment.

- Loruski
- Very good implementation of theming across all google docs websites, only flaw that made me remove the extension is the behavior of adding a pinned google trends tab every time the browser initializes the extension, probably a paid sponsorship?
- IIgar Gadirov
- Thank you! It's work with Google Docs! Great
- Yusuf Chowdhury
- This extension is amazing, No colour inversions either. My only problem is that it will sometimes open a new pinned google trends tab whenever I open a new window. I had to uninstall and reinstall it for it to go away. Also did the extension get renamed?
- Rommel Jr. Sapno
- Really works well even with google sheets
- Dragos Pacurar
- Great, works as it should, just click and go!
- Gabrielle Moretti
- Works very well and as expected. Wish it worked on the chrome web store page itself. In google sheets, parts will be left white, like the search section in Google sheets, where you'll find your list of sheets, and sometimes in the forumla bar in sheets as well. Thank you creating it ! Would be great if these small glitches would be fixed 🧡
