Frequently asked questions
How do I print dark-mode code screenshots?
Put the screenshots into a PDF with Image to PDF, then convert on this page with Black & white output ticked.
How much ink does converting Dark code screenshots notes save?
A dark page covers most of the sheet in toner; the converted page only prints the writing. For typical board-style notes that is roughly 50–70% less ink per page, and printing 2 or 4 per sheet cuts paper by half or more on top of that.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in Chrome on Android and Safari on iPhone. Large PDFs (300+ pages) are faster on a laptop.
