Printing on a black and white printer, saving colour ink or submitting a document that must be monochrome? Our Grayscale PDF tool turns every colour in your PDF into the same shade of gray: text, shapes, gradients and pictures. Unlike tools that turn each page into a photo, it changes only the colours, so text stays sharp, selectable and searchable, and the file doesn't balloon in size. The black and white PDF opens in the Mega AI Studio, ready to download.

True grayscale

Text, shapes, gradients and pictures all become gray.

Text stays text

Nothing is flattened — you can still search, select and copy.

Small files

Only the colours change, so the file stays about the same size.
