Color edits are visual transformations; verify contrast, branding compliance, and accessibility against your design system before release.
Skip to SVG color editorLoading tool…
Free SVG color editor — detect fill and stroke colors across your file, replace them with a live preview, undo changes, and download or copy updated SVG markup. Upload or paste SVG; processing runs entirely in your browser with no server upload and no signup required.
The editor parses SVG markup with the browser DOMParser, walks every element for fill and stroke attributes (including inline style), normalizes colors to hex, and builds a replacement map. When you change a palette entry, every matching attribute is updated before export.
Drop an .svg file or paste SVG markup. The tool sanitizes the file and renders a live preview on a checkerboard background.
Every unique fill and stroke color appears as a swatch with usage counts (e.g. 3 fills · 1 stroke). Click a swatch—or click a shape in the preview—to select it.
Use the color picker, type an exact hex code, or apply a preset. Changes update the preview instantly and replace that color everywhere in the file.
Download the recolored .svg file or copy the updated markup to your clipboard. Use Undo (Ctrl+Z) or Reset colors to revert.
Input
24×24 navigation icons · fill #1e293b (slate-800)Output
Same icons · fill #f8fafc (slate-50) for dark toolbarOne palette entry per icon color means a single hex change re-themes an entire icon library—faster than editing each SVG in a design tool.
Input
Wordmark SVG · stroke #000000Output
Wordmark · stroke #4f46e5 (brand indigo)Entering an exact hex from your design system ensures exported SVG matches brand guidelines before embedding in a React component or email template.
Common real-world scenarios where this tool saves time.
Designers
Swap palettes across SVG icon sets for light and dark themes without re-exporting from Figma.
Frontend developers
Bake explicit fill colors into SVG before embedding in components—especially when currentColor inheritance is unreliable.
Marketing teams
Recolor source artwork for seasonal promotions while keeping vector sharpness at any size.

Understanding which attribute to edit prevents surprise outline-only changes.
| Attribute | What it paints | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| fill | Interior of closed shapes | Icon bodies, solid logos, chart segments |
| stroke | Outline along the path | Line icons, borders, diagram connectors |
| fill="none" | Transparent interior | Outline-only icons (stroke carries the color) |
How you embed SVG affects whether CSS can recolor at runtime.
| Method | CSS can recolor? | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Inline <svg> in HTML | Yes — currentColor and CSS fill work | React/Vue components, themeable icons |
| <img src="icon.svg"> | No — external file is isolated | Simple static images, email-safe assets |
| Exported hex from this editor | Baked into file — works everywhere | PDF, email, img tags, design handoff |
Use SVG Color Editor to swap solid fill and stroke colors across an SVG. Use SVG Viewer to inspect structure, SVG Path Editor for path d debugging, and SVG to PNG when you need a raster export.
| Related tool | Use this tool when | Use related tool when |
|---|---|---|
| SVG Viewer | You need to change fill or stroke hex values across an icon set or illustration with live preview. | You only need to preview, zoom, or inspect SVG dimensions and markup without editing colors. |
| SVG Path Editor | Colors are correct but you need to debug or tweak path geometry. | Path data is final and you only need palette-level color replacements. |
| SVG to PNG | You are still editing vector colors in SVG markup. | Recoloring is done and you need a PNG raster for slides, email, or OG images. |
WCAG AA requires 4.5:1 contrast for normal text. A brand swap on icons near text may fail accessibility—check with a contrast checker.
Download recolored files with a new name (e.g. logo-recolored.svg) so you can revert or branch variants.
Embedded SVG in email or PDF cannot inherit CSS color reliably—bake fills into the file for predictable output.
This tool edits solid fill and stroke attributes only. Gradients live inside <linearGradient> or <radialGradient> elements—edit those in a vector editor or by hand in the markup.
fill="currentColor" inherits CSS color from the parent. Add an explicit fill hex in this editor, or set color in CSS at runtime.
Grouped elements may share one fill on the <g> wrapper. Ungroup in Illustrator/Figma if you need per-path colors.
Likely cause: SVG uses currentColor, gradients, or external CSS classes only.
Fix: Add explicit fill/stroke hex values in a vector editor, or paste markup with inline colors.
Likely cause: Invalid viewBox, zero dimensions, or all fills set to none.
Fix: Open the file in SVG Viewer to inspect dimensions and structure.
Likely cause: Design tool may apply its own CSS or font rendering on text elements.
Fix: Embed fonts as paths in the source SVG, or test inline in the target environment.
Gradient stops and pattern fills are not detected by the palette. Use Illustrator, Figma, or edit gradient markup directly.
This tool changes colors only—not shapes, strokes widths, or viewBox. Use SVG Path Editor for path debugging.
After recoloring, use SVG to PNG or SVG to JPG to produce a raster thumbnail—not this editor.
Yes. Color edits preserve vector paths because output remains SVG—no rasterization occurs.
Yes. The palette lists every unique fill and stroke color. Changing a swatch updates all elements using that original value, whether it was fill or stroke.
Solid-color edits are supported. Complex gradients inside <linearGradient> or <radialGradient> are not detected—adjust those manually or in a vector editor.
Yes. Type an exact hex (e.g. #4f46e5) in the input or use presets. Copy the exported SVG to verify in your design system.
Icons using fill="currentColor" inherit parent CSS color and may not appear in the palette. Replace with an explicit fill hex to preview and export a fixed palette.
Yes—each unique color appears as one palette swatch. Click a shape in the preview to jump to its color. Grouped elements may need ungrouping if one wrapper sets fill for all children.
Yes—only edited fill and stroke values change. Transparent backgrounds and fill="none" remain as in the original.
No. Parsing, preview, and export run entirely in your browser. SVG files are read locally and never sent to EverydayTools servers.
Yes. Use Undo (Ctrl+Z), Redo (Ctrl+Y), or Reset colors to restore the original palette.
Gradients, patterns, filters, masks, and CSS classes referenced externally are not rewritten. Solid fills and strokes in attributes or inline style are supported.
All parsing, preview, and export run in your browser. SVG files are never uploaded, stored, or transmitted to EverydayTools servers.
Solid fill and stroke replacements match the hex you select. Gradients and currentColor are left unchanged.
DOMParser → color scan → attribute replace → XMLSerializer. Your Network tab stays empty during editing.
