Inverts colors on PDFs
Make PDFs easier on the eyes.
Lightweight, simple, and easy to use. Turn your normal chrome pdf reader into one that can invert colors.
IMPORTANT:
To invert colors on locally downloaded PDFs, make sure to "allow access to file URLs" in the extension manager.

- (2023-06-08) Shady Medic: Works well enough, just one complaint: It also inverts the colour of highlighting, which isn't exactly wanted (see screenshot: https://prnt.sc/4-bvva7YCDD_). Thumbs up for inverting images though.
- (2023-02-25) 阿毛: make shure let it access the url of downloaded pdf file, or it won't work. Nice plugin.
- (2023-01-18) Dennis: nice
- (2022-12-12) Bharath Bera: This extension just changes the PDF color to the opposite one, for example white to black and red to blue and vice versa. If someone find that it is not working, then give permission to read file and whenever you a PDF then click on the extension. I found it very helpful because while reading black color is preferred as it has less strain.
- (2022-11-26) Henry Post: It works great! Make sure to follow the instructions ( chrome://extensions/?id=ikkeapgomkpbcpaiompapjdlhmafgkpg > Allow Access to file URLs)
- (2022-07-02) Forya Beats: Inverts even images in a PDF. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
- (2022-06-06) brtogl: it either didn't work at all, or it cant modify large PDFs.
- (2022-04-17) EpicFailv2: You really should note in description that it does not actually modify (or even touch or is in any way related to) the PDF. All it does is add another HTML tag, which covers all content and inverts all shown colors - this would work for anything opened in Chrome...
- (2022-02-15) Dylan Barone: Wanted to clarify some things, because I thought it wasn't working, when it really was. I clicked "allow access to file URLs" and the pdfs I was viewing still didn't invert. So I googled something random that I knew would bring up pdfs in the results. It worked for these ones. The pdfs I was viewing (the ones that didn't work) were secure, and you had to log in to view them, but it worked on the ones that anyone could pull from the internet. I assume that this was issue, maybe the extension didn't have access to the ones that I had to log in to see. I checked this with other pdf inverters, and the same thing happened. Just guessing to what the issue is, but it doesn't seem like it's the fault of the extension and it works well for what it's supposed to work for.

- (2021-10-13) Mohamed Magdy: not working
- (2021-09-28) Darshika Singh: How do I print/ download the INverted PDF, it inverts the colours but prints in original ones so no use then.
- (2021-09-20) Space Babe: Best app ever.
- (2021-09-15) Chetan Chauhan: it doesn't work don't waste time here
- (2021-09-12) Alex Barnes: With some difficulty, I found the place where I could "allow access to file URLs" and then when I click on the 'PDF Color Inverter' extension, the window in Chrome changes to its color inversion. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to print or save inverted version of the file.

- (2021-04-15) Chin Hoi Wong: The accessibility function in adobe acrobat reader and foxit reader don't work for some pdf files. This app solves the problem and is much faster when switching.
- (2020-12-07) MAURICIO YEPEZ: Très intéressant et utile. On regarde les documents en noir avec plaisir. Rappelle-vous de permettre l'accès de l'application à l'url ainsi elle marche bien.
