SVG Recolor Tool
Swap, replace, or bulk-recolor all colors in an SVG file. Perfect for theming icon libraries or adapting brand assets.
- Color swatch detection
- Bulk color replace
- Theme presets
- Export with new palette
Recolor a whole palette, or one layer at a time
Click a shape on the canvas or pick it from the layer list, then set its fill, stroke and opacity on their own — two shapes that happen to share a hex stay independent. Or work globally: swap a swatch everywhere it appears, apply a curated palette, or rotate the whole document around the colour wheel.

Per-Layer Precision
The document is parsed into addressable layers, so two shapes that share a hex code stay independent — and a fill can be changed without dragging the stroke that matched it along.
Global HSL Vectors
Instead of manually updating dozens of similar swatches, you can adjust the Hue degree slider to rotate the color wheel coordinates globally in seconds.
Zero Extra CSS Classes
All color changes are written straight into the source XML properties. This ensures the output remains minimal, valid, and fully compatible with downstream optimizers.
How The SVG Recolor Tool Simplifies Branding & Handoff
When building visual identity systems, designers often export SVGs in standard black or generic hex codes. To adapt these vectors for different marketing campaigns, user roles, or dark modes, you need a quick way to recolor shapes without launching software like Adobe Illustrator or Figma.
Picking A Single Layer
Click any shape in the preview, or choose it from the layer list, and the appearance panel targets that layer alone: fill, fill opacity, stroke, stroke width, stroke opacity and layer opacity. Gradient-filled layers expose their individual stops. Because the edit is addressed to the layer rather than to a color value, the other shapes that happen to use the same hex are left exactly as they were.
Why Global HSL Adjustments Matter
HSL stands for **Hue, Saturation, and Lightness**. Shifting colors using HSL parameters keeps the relative contrast ratios intact. For instance, shifting the Hue of a complex multi-tone illustration by 180 degrees transforms it from a warm orange scheme into a cool blue scheme, while preserving the shade variations that define its gradients and shadows.
Best Practices for Accessible Icons
- Contrast Auditing: Ensure your foreground shapes maintain at least a
4.5:1contrast ratio against the background to satisfy WCAG AA standards. - Dynamic Dark/Light swap: Instead of hardcoding colors, consider replacing hex properties with CSS variables (e.g.
var(--brand)) to support theme toggling.
