About this tool
Make a PDF cheaper and clearer to print. Choose grayscale to keep the shades, or black and white for sharp text on scanned pages. Each page is turned into a picture, so the text can no longer be selected. Works in your browser, up to 150 pages.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still select the text?
No. The pages become pictures to remove the colour. Keep your original if you need to copy text.
Which setting is best?
Grayscale for pages with photos, black and white for text-only scans.
