Change Background

Change white background to custom colors

What is Change Background?

Adding a background color to a PDF's pages changes their appearance — from plain white to a color that suits your branding, reading preference, or design context. Choose a color from the picker or enter a hex value. The background is added behind all existing content as a new layer, not replacing the original page. Use cases: adding a brand color background to a certificate or award document, creating a sepia or light-yellow reading background for a long document, preparing a PDF for a branded presentation context, or adding a colored background to a white-background document for visual distinction.

Practical tips

Softer reading with cream

A cream background such as #FFF8F0 is easier on the eyes than bright white for long reading.

Text and images stay the same

Only the page background changes; content is kept on top unchanged.

Brand certificates and handouts

Use a brand color for certificates or event materials without redesigning the file.
