To make the Udemy website dark in Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari, install Night Eye, open udemy.com and refresh the page if it was already open. Night Eye can darken the website’s bright backgrounds and give you adjustable brightness, contrast and saturation. The extension is most useful for browsing courses, opening My learning and using other Udemy pages that do not offer a consistent built-in dark theme.
Does Udemy have dark mode? Yes, but it depends on where you use it. Udemy lists native dark mode for its iPhone and Android apps. A redesigned desktop course experience also has a dark interface, and some accounts include a Dark mode control. The wider desktop website does not have an equivalent universal theme switch. Your course player may look different depending on the course and your account.
Udemy dark mode: desktop, iPhone and Android
| Platform | How to get dark mode |
|---|---|
| Desktop website (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) | Use Night Eye to darken Udemy's website pages. Some courses already have a dark redesigned player; avoid applying two dark themes to the same area. |
| iPhone / iPad app | Native dark mode is supported in Udemy's iOS app. Check the app's appearance controls and the device appearance setting; the exact control may vary by app version. |
| Android app | Native dark mode is supported in Udemy's Android app. Check the app's appearance controls and the phone's dark-theme setting. |
These distinctions are based on Udemy's platform feature comparison and new course experience guidance.
How to enable Udemy dark mode on the website
- Install Night Eye for your desktop browser from the official browser store using the links below.
- Open Udemy. You can use it on the homepage, search results, course pages and My learning.
- Refresh the page once if Udemy was already open before installing the extension.
- Open Night Eye's browser-toolbar icon. Leave the website in Dark mode, or select it if you previously changed the site's mode.
- Customize the appearance. Adjust brightness, contrast or saturation to keep lecture text and interface controls easy to distinguish.
Get Night Eye for Chrome, Edge or Safari | Add Night Eye to Firefox
You do not have to install an extension to use a dark-themed Udemy course if its built-in experience already suits you. Night Eye provides more consistent control over the rest of the website.
How to make Udemy dark in Firefox
- Open the official Night Eye listing on Firefox Add-ons and choose Add to Firefox. Review and accept the browser's permission prompt.
- Go to udemy.com. If it was already loaded, refresh it.
- Select the Extensions button in the Firefox toolbar, find Night Eye and open it. You can pin it to the toolbar for faster access.
- Use Dark for Udemy's website pages. If the course player already uses a native dark design, compare it with Night Eye in Normal mode before deciding which appearance is easier to read.
A Firefox browser theme changes Firefox's own interface; it does not necessarily change the background of websites such as Udemy. Night Eye operates on supported webpages instead. Learn more in the Night Eye setup guide.
Does Udemy have a built-in dark mode?
Mobile apps: Udemy's documented feature comparison marks Dark Mode as available on both the iOS and Android apps. The app is separate from the mobile website, so do not assume the same settings apply to Safari or Chrome on a phone.
New desktop course experience: Some learners see Udemy's redesigned, naturally dark course interface. Udemy's guidance says that a subset of accounts has a Dark mode toggle in Course overview → Course details → three-dot menu. The control may be absent on other accounts. If the toggle exists, you can switch the course experience's dark appearance off to return to light mode.
Other desktop pages: The homepage, course catalog, shopping pages and account pages do not share a universal website-wide native dark-mode setting. Night Eye is a practical option if you want to darken these pages as well as course content that remains light.
Udemy has been rolling out the redesigned learning interface by course and learner account. If yours looks different, it does not necessarily mean that a setting is broken. See Udemy's explanation of the new course experience.
Udemy dark mode with Night Eye: website examples
These screenshots show examples of Udemy website pages displayed with Night Eye. Udemy's layout has changed over time, so your menus and course-player controls may not match these older examples exactly.
Udemy dark mode not working? Troubleshooting
Part of the page remains white
Refresh the Udemy tab after installing Night Eye. Open the Night Eye extension and confirm that Dark is selected for udemy.com. If a separate video frame, document, embedded editor or newly loaded panel remains light, it may have its own styling. For an unreadable area, choose Normal mode for that page and use Night Eye's built-in support option to report the affected URL.
Udemy's dark theme and Night Eye overlap
If you already have Udemy's native dark course player, applying a second dark transformation can make some colors or highlights less useful. Try Night Eye in Normal mode for that course, or change Udemy's built-in Dark mode switch if your account provides one. Keep the version that gives the best contrast for text, tabs and subtitles.
The theme changes between lectures or after opening a new page
Some course content loads inside a new panel or opens in a separate location. Reload the page and check the extension's site-specific mode. If the behavior persists, note the page address and contact Night Eye support.
How do I restore Udemy's light mode?
Open the Night Eye toolbar icon while on Udemy and select Normal to show the site's original appearance. If your redesigned Udemy course has its own Dark mode switch, open Course overview → Course details → three dots and switch it off. Where Udemy doesn't show that option, only the available course display can be changed.
Firefox extension is installed but not changing Udemy
Open Firefox's Extensions menu and confirm Night Eye is enabled and allowed to run on Udemy. Refresh the tab. If you are using a private window, Firefox may require separate permission for the extension there. You can manage installed add-ons at about:addons.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Udemy dark mode without Night Eye?
Yes, if you are using Udemy's Android or iOS app, or a desktop course experience that already has a dark interface. Night Eye is for people who also want dark website pages and extra appearance controls.
Does Udemy have one dark mode switch for the entire desktop website?
Udemy does not document a single built-in switch that darkens every page of the desktop website. The redesigned player and any available Dark mode toggle are specific to the course experience.
Will Night Eye change the colors in Udemy lecture videos?
Night Eye is designed to restyle website interface elements. Video footage, screenshots shown by an instructor and some documents can keep their original colors. Always prioritize legible subtitles and learning materials.
Can I customize Udemy's dark theme?
With Night Eye, you can change brightness, contrast and saturation, set website-specific behavior and switch between Dark, Filtered and Normal modes. Adjustments are made locally in your browser; Night Eye does not collect browsing history.
