Convert fully colored PDFs to Black & White in Windows 11/10
There are four ways in which a colored PDF can be saved in a grayscale tone, one is via a web browser and the rest require you to use an online tool. Let’s look at each one of them in detail:
1] Convert PDF to black & white using Chrome or Edge
The primary way, and the one that doesn’t require using an online tool, is with a help of a web browser. For this purpose, you can use either Chrome or Microsoft Edge:
You’ll now be given the option to save this Black and White PDF file. Select the destination of your choice and click on Save. You will now have a black and white copy of the same PDF file. You can replicate this process if you’re using a MacOS device too.
2] Convert PDF to black & white using Online2PDF
There are several online tools that provide the same service as a web browser, one of them being Online2PDF.com. Here’s what you have to do:
Depending on how big the original file is, the conversion will take a proportional time and once done, it’ll automatically download the grayscale file on your computer.
3] Convert PDF to black & white using Sejda.com
Another online tool, which works much like Online2PDF, is Sejda. Here’s how you can use that to convert your PDF files to a black & white color.
Once the processing is done, you get an option to either download your file locally or print it out.
4] Convert PDF to black & white using Adobe Acrobat

How do I turn off grayscale in Windows 11?
Same as it is with PDFs, you can change your Windows PC to have a grayscale color tone/theme as well. In order to enable or disable grayscale on your Windows 11 computer, open your Windows Settings with the Win + ‘I’ key combination > Select the Accessibility tab from the options to the left of the screen > select the color filters option > if you want grayscale to be turned off, toggle the Color filters option off. Similarly, if you want to use your PC in a grayscale theme, toggle the option on. If you do choose to turn on grayscale, you can apply selective color combination filters to your PC like red-green, blue-yellow, etc. We hope this post sufficiently answered all your doubts about converting your PDF files to a black-and-white color code in Windows.
