docs.google.comFeatures
Built specifically for Google Docs and Sheets, not a generic page inverter. Your content stays exactly as it is, and collaborators still see the original formatting.
Unlike one-click dark modes, you control the look: brightness, contrast, sepia and grayscale.
Start from Classic Dark, Deep Dark, Warm Dark or Sepia, then fine-tune any preset to make it your own.
Works directly in Google Docs and Google Sheets. Your settings apply instantly to every open tab.
Switch dark mode on or off from the toolbar whenever you need the original look. Your settings are remembered for next time.
Dark mode switches off automatically while printing, so pages come out with a white background and black text.
It does not read, store or track your documents or browsing. It only changes how supported pages look in your browser.
Themes
Each preset is a starting point. Pick one in the popup and adjust the sliders until it feels right for your eyes, your screen and your lighting.
Balanced dark theme for everyday use.
Extra dark interface for minimal glare.
Slightly warm tones to reduce eye fatigue.
Soft, paper-like reading experience.
