Yes, LinkedIn has free built-in dark mode on desktop, iPhone and Android. Open Settings & Privacy → Account preferences → Display → Dark mode and choose Dark mode. LinkedIn saves your choice automatically.
Want a dark mode you can customize? LinkedIn offers three preset theme choices. Night Eye lets you customize how LinkedIn.com looks in your browser using brightness, contrast, saturation, dimming and warmth controls. It does not change the native LinkedIn mobile app.

How to customize LinkedIn dark mode with Night Eye
LinkedIn’s native dark mode is a simple free option, but it does not provide fine-grained display controls. Night Eye gives you more control over the appearance of LinkedIn.com in a supported browser.
Option 1: Make a custom dark theme
- Install Night Eye for your browser.
- Open LinkedIn.com. If LinkedIn’s native dark mode is enabled, switch LinkedIn to Light mode to avoid applying two dark transformations.
- Open Night Eye from your browser toolbar and select Dark.
- Customize brightness, contrast, saturation, dimming, warmth and colors to suit your display.
- Keep a different appearance on LinkedIn than on other websites, if you prefer.
Option 2: Fine-tune LinkedIn’s native dark appearance
- Keep LinkedIn’s built-in Dark mode enabled.
- In Night Eye, select Filtered, rather than Dark.
- Adjust brightness, contrast, warmth and dimming while retaining LinkedIn’s own theme colors.
Which mode is right for you? Choose Night Eye Dark to create a customized dark treatment, Filtered to fine-tune LinkedIn’s existing appearance, or Normal to leave the website unchanged. Saturation and custom color-conversion options belong to Dark mode, not Filtered mode.
Night Eye customizes websites in supported browsers, including supported mobile browsers. It cannot change the native LinkedIn iOS or Android app. Appearance adjustments are applied locally in your browser.

Why LinkedIn dark mode is not working
LinkedIn stays light after choosing Device settings
Device settings follows the current system appearance. If your device is set to light, select Dark mode directly instead.
Dark mode is missing on another browser or device
LinkedIn stores this preference locally for each device or browser, rather than syncing it everywhere. Set the theme separately on each device and browser.
LinkedIn dark mode reset
Clearing browser cookies or changing browser profiles can reset the saved choice. Return to Account preferences → Display → Dark mode and select it again.
I cannot find the setting
Check Account preferences → Display, update the mobile app if needed, and consult LinkedIn’s official instructions. Old claims about limited country availability are no longer useful troubleshooting guidance.
Images and videos still look bright
Dark mode changes the interface; it does not necessarily recolor photos, videos or uploaded content.
How to turn off LinkedIn dark mode
Open Settings & Privacy → Account preferences → Display → Dark mode and select Light mode, or choose Device settings to follow your system. If using Night Eye, set its website mode to Normal to disable its visual changes.

LinkedIn dark mode FAQ
Can I change the colors of LinkedIn’s native dark theme?
LinkedIn offers its three native options, not detailed color controls. Use Night Eye Dark on LinkedIn.com for a customized dark appearance, or Filtered to adjust LinkedIn’s own appearance.
Can I apply different dark mode settings to different websites?
Yes. Night Eye allows website-specific appearance preferences.
Can Night Eye customize the LinkedIn iPhone or Android app?
No. Night Eye changes LinkedIn.com in a supported browser, not LinkedIn’s native app.
Does dark mode prevent eye strain or improve sleep?
Dark mode is an appearance preference, not a medical treatment. Choose the appearance and contrast you find most comfortable and readable.
