How it works

Paste your SVG code into the input area. The tool scans the SVG for color attributes including fill, stroke, and stop-color values used in gradients.

Use the color pickers to select which color to find and what to replace it with. You can enter hex codes directly or use the visual color picker. Click Replace to change only the specified color, or Replace All to swap every color in the SVG.

What gets replaced:

fill attributes: Shape fill colors
stroke attributes: Outline and border colors
stop-color: Gradient color stops

When You'd Actually Use This

Creating dark mode icon variants

Quickly generate dark theme versions of your icons. Replace white backgrounds with dark colors, adjust light elements for contrast. Maintain two icon sets effortlessly.

Branding icon customization

Adapt stock icons to match brand colors. Change a blue icon set to your brand's purple without opening a vector editor. Perfect for client work with specific color requirements.

Generating icon state variations

Create hover, active, and disabled states from base icons. Replace the primary color with hover shades. Faster than designing each state from scratch.

Preparing icons for different backgrounds

Adjust icon colors for use on light vs dark backgrounds, colored sections, or images. Ensure sufficient contrast for accessibility compliance.

Creating seasonal theme variants

Update your app icons for holidays or seasons. Change colors to match Halloween orange, Christmas red/green, or spring pastels. Quick thematic updates.

Fixing exported icon colors

Icons exported from design tools sometimes have wrong colors. Batch-fix hex codes without re-exporting. Correct designer mistakes in seconds.

What to Know Before Using

Color matching is exact.The tool matches exact hex codes. #000000 and #000 won't match each other. Normalize your colors first if you have mixed formats.

Replace All affects everything.Every color in the SVG gets replaced with your new color. Use for monochrome conversions. For selective changes, use the specific Replace function.

Named colors aren't detected.Colors like "red", "blue", "transparent" won't be found. The tool searches for hex codes only. Convert named colors to hex first.

Gradients may need multiple changes.Each gradient stop color must be changed individually. Replace All will change gradient colors too, which may not be desired.

Pro tip: For icons with multiple colors, change one color at a time. Start with the dominant color, then adjust accent colors. This gives you more control over the final appearance.

Common Questions

Can I change multiple colors at once?

Use Replace All for a single target color. For multiple different colors, run the tool multiple times or edit the SVG code directly.

Does this work with RGB or HSL colors?

Currently the tool focuses on hex colors. For RGB/HSL, convert to hex first or edit the SVG code directly in a text editor.

What if my icon uses currentColor?

currentColor inherits from CSS and won't be changed by this tool. That's intentional - it allows dynamic coloring via CSS.

Can I undo color changes?

Keep your original SVG file. The tool doesn't modify the input, only creates new output. Re-paste the original to start over.

Will this affect opacity values?

No, opacity attributes are preserved. Only color values (fill, stroke, stop-color) are modified. Transparency settings remain unchanged.

Can I batch process multiple icons?

This tool handles one SVG at a time. For batch processing, consider command-line tools like svgo with custom plugins or desktop software.

Why use this instead of a design tool?

Faster for simple color swaps. No software to open, no learning curve. Perfect for developers who need quick color adjustments without design tools.
