SVG Recolor Guide
This page edits the SVG as text in your browser. It extracts a palette, applies replacements, and outputs a cleaned SVG you can download. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Upload an SVG or paste SVG markup. This tool extracts the actual palette (fill and stroke), lets you replace specific colors, recolor everything to one color, or convert icons to currentColor for CSS theming. Runs client-side.
What gets detected
The palette is built by parsing the SVG markup and counting colors found in common paint locations.
- Presentation attributes:
fill=""andstroke="" - Inline style attributes:
style="fill: …; stroke: …" - Style tags (best effort):
<style>rules that set fill or stroke
What is skipped (on purpose)
Some SVG paints are references or effects rather than literal colors. These don’t behave like solid fills, so the tool avoids rewriting them unless you build a dedicated feature for that.
- Paint servers like
url(#gradient)for gradients, patterns, masks - External CSS (classes that rely on styles outside the SVG)
- Special cases like filters and complex effects that aren’t simple fill/stroke paints
Modes
Builds a mapping from From to To and only rewrites colors that match (after normalization). Great for multi-color SVGs and brand swaps.
<style>.Forces everything (fill/stroke depending on “Apply to”) to one color. Useful for turning a complex icon into a single-color glyph.
Sets targeted paints to currentColor so the icon inherits CSS color from its parent. Ideal for hover states, dark mode, and UI systems.

SVG Recolor Tool: practical workflow notes
Replace SVG fill and stroke colors quickly with live preview and copy-ready output. Use this page when that specific output is the fastest path, then jump to the related tools below if you need a different export, cleanup, or craft-file workflow.
Best for
- recolor svg
- Cleaning, checking, editing, or exporting existing SVG markup
- Web, app, print, design-system, and handoff workflows
- Fast local SVG adjustments before export
Settings to try
- Use the visible controls for the exact SVG attribute or export behavior you need.
- Preview the output before copying or downloading.
- Run SVG cleaner or minifier when file size or editor markup gets in the way.
Useful limits
- SVG utility tools edit SVG markup and do not trace raster images.
- Complex filters, external references, or missing fonts can affect browser previews.
- Use image-to-SVG tools when your source is PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WebP.

FAQ
Will this upload my SVG to a server?+
No. Recoloring runs in your browser. The SVG text is edited locally and you download the updated file.
Do I have to guess the colors?+
No. The tool extracts the SVG palette automatically and lists each detected color with a count. Click a swatch to create or update a replacement rule.
Why does part of my SVG not recolor?+
Some SVGs define colors in CSS (style tags) or inline style attributes. Enable those toggles under Replace mode. If it uses external CSS classes, currentColor mode is often the cleanest solution.
What is currentColor mode used for?+
It converts icons to inherit CSS color from the parent element. This is ideal for UI icons, hover states, and dark mode.
Can I paste SVG code instead of uploading a file?+
Yes. Paste SVG markup anywhere on the page, or open the paste box and click Apply.
