Dark mode PDFs
without destroying your
histology slides
True dark mode that understands your document.
Text inverted, images kept intact.
True dark mode that understands your document.
Text inverted, images kept intact.
What happens when you drop a PDF
The text in your document is selectable. The text trapped inside images isn't. Until now.
Veil scans images inside your document and makes their text selectable. Chart labels, axis numbers, figure captions. Copy them like any other text.
Your dark PDF, everywhere. Download with dark mode baked in, open it on any device, send it to anyone.
Built for the researcher reading papers at 2 AM, the medical student reviewing slides before rounds, and anyone who thinks a PDF reader should respect both their eyes and their images.
If veil saved your session, your support keeps it free.
