How to Remove a Background from a PDF

Remove or replace an unwanted background colour from a PDF page. Free, no Acrobat needed.

To replace an existing background in a PDF, use FixMyPDF's background tool to overwrite it with the colour you want (typically white).

How It Works

The tool adds a coloured rectangle layer behind existing content. By choosing white, it effectively "erases" any visible background colour and replaces it with white.

Steps

Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/background-color-pdf. Upload. Select white or your desired replacement colour. Apply to all pages. Download.
