  1. How to make your PDF into monochrome

  2. What is the difference? When you’re a graphic designer, there’s a tendency to be obsessive-compulsive about colors and how to turn a design from gray to monochrome. But to every average joe, both may seem the same. What is the difference between the two anyway and why is it so important to do the right procedure?

  3. Monochrome V.S. Gray When you look for the term monochrome in Google, you will probably end up seeing a noun that is defined as a “black and white” photo in varying tones of one color. Doesn’t quite help you, doesn’t it? Because of our understanding, it's pretty much the same as grayscale which is defined in Google as a noun that means “gray shades from white to black.”

  4. In Printing The difference here lies in the application. In printing, monochrome is said to be a combination of colors to produce blacks and whites while grayscale uses blank ink only. In photography, grayscale is an accurate term for black and white, portraying shades of gray from black to white while monochrome means “single color” therefore defined as a photograph that consists of only one color in its brightest and darkest hues.

  5. Grayscale images can be called monochrome however not all monochrome images can be declared grayscale. Confused? To further explain, the difference can also depend on the color - where monochrome doesn’t have to depend entirely on black and white, rather can be in different lightness or darkness of red or any other color. Make sense now? What Color?

  6. TRIVIA Did you know that the term monochrome actually came from the Greeks in the term called monochromos – literally meaning “having one color.”

  10. To turn your PDF into monochrome, you can convert your PDF into an image file first. You can use DeftPDF’s PDF to JPEG converter online.
