# Background Color
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Set a solid background color behind all existing content in your PDF. The tool creates a colored rectangle on each page and layers the original content on top, so text, images, and graphics remain fully visible against the new background.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How It Works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Upload your PDF file.
|
||
|
|
2. Pick a background color using the color selector. The default is a light yellow (#FFFFCC).
|
||
|
|
3. Click **Change Background Color** to process.
|
||
|
|
4. The updated PDF downloads automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Background Color** -- A standard color picker for choosing any solid color. Defaults to light yellow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Applies a uniform background color to every page
|
||
|
|
- Preserves all original content (text, images, vector graphics) on top of the colored layer
|
||
|
|
- Maintains original page dimensions
|
||
|
|
- Works with documents of any page count
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Use Cases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Adding a light cream or ivory background to give documents a softer, paper-like appearance
|
||
|
|
- Color-coding document sets by applying different background colors to different categories
|
||
|
|
- Creating visually distinct versions of the same document for different audiences
|
||
|
|
- Adding a light background tint to improve readability when projecting documents on screen
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Light, muted colors work best. A very dark background can make text hard to read unless the text is already light-colored.
|
||
|
|
- If you want to change both the background and text color, apply the background color first, then use [Change Text Color](./text-color) on the result.
|
||
|
|
- This tool works at the PDF structural level (not rasterization), so text remains selectable and searchable in the output.
