What is the Black Blank Screen?
The Black Blank Screen makes your entire screen go completely black with just one click. Think of it like turning off your screen, but your computer stays on. The buttons above let you create a black screen instantly - perfect for taking a quick eye break, checking if your display has any bright spots, or just enjoying a moment of darkness while keeping your device running.

About This Tool
This tool places a black layer over your screen content. In fullscreen mode, it covers your entire screen.
On mobile devices, it uses your device’s built-in video player to show a completely black video, giving you a clean experience without browser elements visible.
For the best experience, use in a dimly lit room where you can easily see the edge of your screen.
