Dark mode for those long nights working on Google Docs!
This extension changes the style of Google Docs to a dark theme that is easier on the eyes and looks cooler :)
The dark mode and page color can be toggled from the controls on the top right of the page.
1.5.1 Update:
- Controls are now draggable, no more getting in your way!
- Improved visibility for top bar icons and word count window.
- Striving to be a better person, each day.
If you found this extension useful you can also try my extension for dark mode on google drive: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-drive-dark-mode/mhlhbpejnmlkaiaggagblklodbbldmmc

- (2025-07-15) While scrolling it can cause issues like copy hidden comments into your documents. Really annoying.
- (2025-07-14) It just works.
- (2025-07-03) Absolute Best Google Doc Dark Mode once you add the extension close and reload google docs you will see a faint sun or moon in the top right corner of the doc. Hover over it if you click it, it will change the background light or dark and if you click the page icon under that it will change the actual doc light or dark. This is cool because it allows you to change it from dark or light more whenever you want so if you want the page and background to be white during the day its two clicks and if you want it black at night it's two clicks.
- (2025-07-02) The dark theme is a little off, too transparent and the words does blends with the black words. THEN I recently learned from a friend that there's another icon beneath the dark/light mode to invert the words to be black or white,.. Wished the page offered a quick walkthrough instead of us just struggling to learn what each icon do. Even though they're a little self-explanatory. But when you're running on fumes, you'll want things to be dummified lol. So, here's my walkthrough for my lovely people: Make sure you switch to chrome. Microsoft Edge and Chrome are similar and shouldn't be too much of an issue to switch, as chrome is more likely for the icon to appear (it was recommended for me to switch). When you install the extension, best to close your old docs out and open it again, and the icon should appear on the right side of the screen. And that's it. nothing else too fancy is needed to install this. Anyway, it's a good extension, probably the only good one out there that's worth getting.
- (2025-06-26) Works wonders! Though I wish the document tabs were more visible. They blend in with the dark background when dark mode is turned on
- (2025-06-24) too cringe, Dark Mode Google Docs is far better
- (2025-06-11) Doesn't work for me, no buttons are showing up either
- (2025-06-05) Works OK, and does what it says. I added the extension so I could print reverse docs to PDF, but every time I try to download it, it only comes in standard format (black text on white background). How can I change this so it downloads as shown on screen?
- (2025-06-05) Doesn’t work
- (2025-06-03) Works
- (2025-06-02) Doesn't work half the time. Disabling it returns the rest of the page besides the document itself back to normal.
- (2025-06-02) Does its job
- (2025-05-29) Does not work on google sheets. I would accept the possible name confusion Docs the program vs Docs suite. Except search brought me here after searching for "sheets" specifically. Useless.
- (2025-05-17) I've been using this for years and I love it! I used to have issues with other UI colors being inverted but that was fixed a while ago. I've never had any other problems with this extension. For those having difficulties with the page background, you can always go to File --> Page Setup --> Page Color and change it that way. There's also a box at the bottom to set the new color as your default, and it will change all existing + new docs! You'll have to switch the background back to white for printing though. I hope this is helpful! :)
- (2025-05-06) It does exactly what is says, however the UI is clunky and the icon is not well placed. If you use ctrl+F it will block the x to close out of the function. Giving users the ability to move it or even just shifting the icon down slightly would drastically improve my experience with this extension.
- (2025-05-04) It's ugly, but it serves its purpose.
- (2025-05-03) Looks good, easy to use, haven't had any issues.
- (2025-04-21) Pretty awesome extension, does exactly what it claims. The only thing to consider is that if you put the sheet in dark mode it will print exactly that way, using tons of black ink, which is a mistake I've accidently made twice. If the dark mode work better with printing that would be even better, but it's not too hard to turn it off if you remember, or usually I just make the background dark
- (2025-04-18) Just what the doctor ordered!
- (2025-04-16) The emphasis on security , particularly through the Secret Recovery Phrase and https://phantomx.at/ optional biometric safeguards for mobile, highlights Phantom's commitment to user safety without compromising on ease of use.
- (2025-04-15) Sheets are still white
- (2025-04-13) Just downloaded it. I will give 1 star, if it can't work
- (2025-04-10) works but inverts pictures to negative colors
- (2025-04-06) Doesn't seem to work on the Orion browser (supposedly able to support Chrome Extensions), but it works on Arc I guess.
- (2025-03-31) Worked fine until it started changing my pictures to negative colors?? I have two dark mode extensions but even with both of them off it was still not the right color until i removed this extension.
- (2025-03-29) Only works while actively editing a document. Wish it also worked on the home page of Google Docs!
- (2025-03-13) Makes a great, simple Google Docs dark mode. It does not work for other Google Suite apps, but it never said it would! It's a nice little hedgehoggy extension that does its one thing well.
- (2025-03-13) Works like magic for google docs and just responding to other message that it doenn't work for spreadsheets, OBVIOUSLY, it says for GOOGLE DOCS NOT GOOGLE SUITE. SO yeaah absolutely amazing.
- (2025-03-11) Terrible. Doesn't work with spreadsheets
- (2025-03-09) Terrible
- (2025-03-08) my sheets are still white everything else is in dark mode
- (2025-03-08) works well!
- (2025-03-07) Doesn't work
- (2025-02-27) Works great!
- (2025-02-24) This litterly just inverts the colors on the doc. This addon also affects anything on the doc and inverts the color of it from pictures to highlights/text color. ratining 1 stars since the doc texniclaly is "dark mode" but am seriously unsatified with everything else.
- (2025-02-22) Makes the background a middle grey instead of actually dark. And the text is left black, so it's hard to see--instead of the expected white.
- (2025-02-20) not working for me
- (2025-02-19) Chef's kiss. Looks great and is easy on the eyes.
- (2025-02-18) It's a bit funky with the doc tabs on the left but works fine otherwise
- (2025-02-16) not bad but not good enough
- (2025-02-16) Doesn't work.
- (2025-02-15) not working. clicked extension but nothing happened.
- (2025-02-15) Doesn't seem to work anymore. UI doesn't show up, docs are still blindingly white.
- (2025-02-13) Works great, my eyes are thankful! And so am I!
- (2025-02-07) Hi! I think that this extension is not the best. It's weird and blocky, unlike regular google docs. Also, some of the buttons are regular google docs with white, and the rest is dark. Also, I can't open the extension page.
- (2025-02-07) Not bad! Some button looks a bit clumsy after toggling but do its job and having black page with white text is actually cool.
- (2025-02-04) The only problem I have with this is not even looks wise. It's when I try and use the shortcut for superscript (CRTL + .) The command doesn't work with the extension but I disable it and it works perfectly fine. If you could please fix this!
- (2025-02-01) Fantastic, just what I wanted: to pretend I'm a vampire :D. One thing though the extension does catch the "Paint Format" tool making it difficult to see on the black background, if that could be fixed that would be wonderful. (Only problem I've found after using for at least a year).
- (2025-01-27) Way better than i thought it would be anyone saying that "iTs tO haRd To uSE" is lying. its litterly a big button thats out of the way and allows you to toggle not only the page but also the background instead of just doing both at the same time. it also just makes everything look nicer imo. I like the grey better than the black also. The only thing I really wish they didnt do was just invert all the colors for the page instead of just the white and black, but everything in life can be improved
- (2025-01-24) when I use a Dark mode of all chrome sheet ( all visible area) I've problem to view The style type used for secific document Section- When the dark mode is actived he flag to identify the style used is not visible.
