Use Google Docs Dark Mode to turn bright pages into a comfortable dark theme and give your eyes a break while you write, edit, and read Google Docs.
🌙 Google Docs Dark Mode – Eye-Friendly Writing in Your Browser
Google Docs Dark Mode is a Chrome extension that lets you toggle dark mode on and off specifically for Google Docs. Switch to a sleek dark interface in a single click so you can focus on your work without harsh white backgrounds.
🔆 The Problem: Bright Pages, Tired Eyes

✅ The Solution: Google Docs Dark Mode
This extension applies a dark theme directly to Google Docs. Toggle dark mode on or off anytime to create a calmer, more comfortable writing and reading environment.

- works great! Probably the best extension to use for dark mode.
- RJ H
- Worked great for a long time but now has a bug where it pins either Google.com or trends.google.com to Chrome on startup. Other reviewers below cite the same bug. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!
- Precious
- Great! Exactly like the dark mode on mobile!
- Elie Guillao
- great !!
- Tyler
- Works great.
- 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 🧡
