Add Background Color to PDF — Free Online Tool

FusionPDF's background color tool adds a solid color behind all pages of your PDF in seconds. Whether you want a warm cream for reading comfort, a dark theme for night reading, or a custom brand color, this tool handles it instantly — with no server upload.

How It Works

Drop your PDF, choose a background color using the color picker or one of the preset swatches, and click Apply. The tool embeds each original page as a transparent layer on top of the colored background using pdf-lib's page embedding. This preserves all text, images, and annotations exactly as they were.

Use Cases

Common uses include: adding a cream/beige tint for dyslexia-friendly reading, applying a dark background for night mode, branding documents with a company color, or preparing PDFs for printing on colored paper.
