# Change Text Color

Replace the color of text throughout your PDF. The tool identifies text regions on each page and recolors them to your chosen color while preserving the document layout and non-text content.

## How It Works

1. Upload your PDF file.
2. Pick a new text color using the color selector. The default is blue (#0000FF).
3. Click **Change Text Color** to process.
4. The recolored PDF downloads automatically. A progress indicator shows which page is being processed.

## Options

- **New Text Color** -- A color picker for selecting the replacement color for all text in the document.

## Features

- Recolors text on every page in the document
- Per-page processing with progress feedback
- Color picker with full hex color support
- Preserves page layout and non-text elements

## Use Cases

- Changing black text to dark blue for a softer, more modern document appearance
- Recoloring text to match brand guidelines before distributing documents
- Converting text to a specific color for accessibility compliance
- Making text visible against a newly applied background color

## Tips

- This tool renders pages at 2x scale for quality, then reconstructs the PDF. The output is image-based, so text will no longer be selectable or searchable.
- For documents where you need to keep selectable text, consider editing the PDF directly with the [PDF Editor](./edit-pdf) instead.
- Processing time increases with page count since each page is rendered individually.
