The website and app should support a Dark Mode to allow users with sensitive eyes to better immerse themselves in learning sessions. This is a standard of any modern website and it's a real shame Khan Academy does not natively support it. There are workarounds such as manual dimming, or dark mode mimicking browser add-ons, but they are far from perfect.
Thanks for reading my suggestion. I hope I'll see it some day.
Everyone!
I was able to make Khan Academy into Dark Mode without adding extensions to my browser (Edge).
Here's how I did it:
Dark mode on Bing in MS Edge. Not just in Bing but in just about any website you visit, all will be in dark mode. Go to edge://flags and change "Auto dark mode for web contents" to Enabled and you are good to go. For chrome, it will be chrome://flags.
Happy Learning (:
Paola, this helped thank you!!! For anyone who needs dark mode that's the best answer!!

add this to extentions this will do
For App users, i found a work around (on anroid devices).
You can force dark mode on the app via the Developer Options.

Works great for me, hope it helps. Cheers
*Chrome solution without add-ons*
Paste this in your URL bar and hit enter:
chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark
It will show you the hidden settings currently named "Auto dark settings for Web Contents". If your OS's dark mode is already set to be inherited by Google Chrome, but it's not working on Khan Academy, you may want to try a few different setting options.
So instead of 'enabled', possibly 'enabled with selective image inversion' might do the trick for you.
As others have already commented 4 years in future and no dark mode choice for Kahn that is largely white screen. Browser already in dark mode but that doesn’t help the largely white background of Kahn that mostlly very young eyes are using. Using Edge the Paola suggestion of edge://flags and change "Auto dark mode for web contents" to Enabled worked and affects all pages in browser verses just the one want affected.
Please have a dark mode function at Khan Academy. Although there are Chrome Extensions and other features, I would really appreciate it if there was a dark mode implemented. There have been many other requests and it would benefit not only me but countless other users. I mainly use Khan Academy on a laptop or computer so I would love to see it on a computer or laptop setting.
Hi everyone,
Thank you for continuing the conversation and sharing your thoughts about dark mode!
I wanted to clarify that the Dark Reader browser extension we recommend is actually free to use. While the developers suggest a $9.99 donation, it’s completely optional—not required. The extension is also open-source, so schools and organizations can modify it if needed. Additionally, it does not collect any user data. I’ve tested this extension myself and found that it works reasonably well on Khan Academy, especially when using the "Dynamic" theme generation mode.
As for adding an official dark mode directly to Khan Academy, we definitely understand how helpful it would be, especially for those studying at night. It’s something our team has explored. However, implementing a dark mode across a platform as large and complex as Khan Academy would require significant engineering and design resources. We’d need to:
Because we focus most of our engineering and design resources on developing core learning features and keeping Khan Academy free for everyone, we haven’t been able to prioritize this yet, and it’s unlikely that a native dark mode will be available in the foreseeable future.
That said, we truly value your feedback and have shared it with our team so they can consider it as we plan future improvements. We have an existing tracker for Dark Mode requests and will continue to add new user feedback/posts to it in the future.
Thanks again for your input and for helping make Khan Academy better!
Please add a Dark Mode option. My eyes feel like they are on fire and it is much more painful than you probably realize. Please listen to the many comments asking for it as it will help us all so much and improve the experience for those who need it for accessibility purposes.
Personally because of settings my school has placed on all of our chromebooks and computers I cannot download or use extensions. Neither can I access the 'chrome://flag' action as they also restrict that. Please give us a dark mode.
Have you and/or your parents/guardians tried petitioning your school's technology team to allow use of the Dark Reader browser extension? I suggest emphasizing to the tech team that the extension is free, and that it is an issue of disability access, so covered by the ADA if in the US.
