If you're someone who prefers dark mode, you really prefer dark mode. You probably wince a little when you glance at someone else's blindingly bright white screen.
And if you spend hours every day reading research papers, those stark white pages can feel particularly harsh on tired eyes.
Now you can switch any PDF to night mode in Paperpile’s PDF viewer—turning bright white pages into a softer, darker hue. Dark mode has been available for a while in the PDF viewer, but night mode goes further by turning the actual pages black for more comfortable reading.
Switch between light and night mode instantly
The PDF viewer now includes a night theme option in the Settings menu that instantly transforms your reading experience.
Annotations still stand out
Don't worry about losing your colorful highlights—they will still pop against the darker background.
The highlighting tools work seamlessly in night mode, so you can continue annotating and marking important passages just as you always have.
What's next
Ready to try it out? Just open any PDF in Paperpile and change the light theme to night in the PDF viewer.
Night mode for PDF reading is just the beginning. We're actively working on bringing dark mode to our mobile apps next, followed by the web app. Your entire Paperpile experience will soon be as easy on the eyes as you need it to be.
