White Screen

Fill your entire display with pure white in one click. Use it as a quick lightbox, a soft fill light for video calls, or the fastest way to spot dust and dead pixels. Runs full-screen in your browser — nothing to install.

Press the button for a full white screen, or pick another solid color. Once full-screen, use the arrow keys or on-screen swatches to change color and Esc to exit.

Tip: turn your brightness up for a lightbox or fill light.

What a White Screen Is For

A plain, full-brightness white field is surprisingly useful. Because there's nothing else on screen, it doubles as a light source and as a test pattern.

1

Find dust and dead pixels

Against solid white, trapped dust looks like dark specks and a dead pixel shows as a tiny black dot that never lights up. It's the quickest first check on a new or used monitor.

2

Lightbox & fill light

Turn brightness to maximum and the screen works as a lightbox for tracing or checking negatives, or as a soft fill light to brighten your face on a video call.

3

Clean background

A pure white screen is a tidy backdrop for photographing small objects, or a blank canvas to rest your eyes and check for screen glare and reflections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a white screen used for?
It's a fast lightbox for tracing or checking negatives, a soft fill light for video calls, a clean background for photographing small objects, and the easiest way to spot dust or a dead pixel — faults stand out clearly against pure white.
How do I make my whole screen white?
Press Go Full-Screen White above (or tap the white swatch). The page fills your entire display with solid white and hides the browser. Use the arrow keys to switch color and press Esc to exit.
Can I switch to black or other colors?
Yes. Pick any swatch before you start, or once full-screen use the ← → arrow keys or the on-screen swatches to move between white, black, red, green, blue and gray. For a full palette, try the color screen.
Does it upload anything or need an install?
No. Everything runs in your browser — no upload, no account, nothing to download — and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
