Grayscale PDF
Convert a PDF's pages to black and white, entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
This tool re-renders each page as a grayscale image, so pages are no longer text-selectable or searchable in the result. If you need to keep selectable text, this isn't the right tool.

FAQ
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF never leaves your device.
Why isn't the text selectable in the result?
This tool converts by re-rendering each page as an image with a grayscale filter applied. That's what makes it black and white, but it means text can no longer be selected or searched in the output.
Why would I want a grayscale PDF?
Common reasons: printing on a black-and-white printer, reducing file size, or removing color for accessibility or design reasons.
