Overview

What is Docutomic?

Docutomic is a modern, free, and privacy-first online PDF toolkit and Image to PDF converter engineered to run entirely inside your modern web browser. Unlike traditional online document tools that upload your private files to remote cloud servers, Docutomic utilizes high-performance browser APIs and WebAssembly to process, convert, edit, and compile documents directly on your device. With Docutomic, you can convert JPG, PNG, and WebP images to PDF, customize page margins and layouts, change PDF background colors (including white-to-black and black-to-white color inversion for dark mode and eco-printing), merge multiple PDFs, reorder or delete pages, and compress documents under strict size limits like 200KB—all 100% free with no watermarks, no registration, and absolute data confidentiality.

Color & Background

Can I change my PDF background colour?

Yes, you can easily change your PDF background colour with Docutomic. Standard PDF documents and digital whiteboards often feature glaring white backgrounds that cause eye fatigue during extended reading, while dark-themed PDFs waste ink when printed. Docutomic provides a dedicated Change PDF Background Color tool that allows you to tint white pages with soothing ergonomic shades (such as warm beige, soft cream, or sepia), switch documents to an eye-friendly dark mode, or use our smart color inverter to transform black or dark backgrounds into ink-saving, printer-ready white backgrounds. The color is placed cleanly behind your document content, keeping text crisp and vector graphics sharp.
