How to Fix Inverted Images in Dark Mode Extensions
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Images get inverted when a dark mode extension flips a page's colors and doesn't flip the pictures back.
Modern Dark Mode flips images, videos, canvases, SVGs, embedded frames and anything with "logo" or "icon" in its class name back to normal. Images a site sets as backgrounds in its stylesheet can still slip through and appear inverted, and it has no option to fix single elements. If that ruins a site, tick "Exclude this site" in the popup, or use the site's own dark theme if it has one.
