Replace a Color in an Image

Replacing a color swaps every matching pixel for a new one while leaving the rest of the image alone. It's the quick way to change a background fill, recolor a flat logo, switch a product variant, or clean up a stray color. You set the target by clicking the color directly in the image — the most accurate way to grab the exact shade — or by choosing it manually.

The tolerance slider controls how forgiving the match is. A low tolerance changes only pixels that are nearly identical to the target; a higher tolerance also catches close shades, which matters for photos and gradients where a single color spans many subtle values. The tool feathers the edge of the match so the swap blends in instead of leaving a hard ring.

The change previews live, so you can balance tolerance against accuracy by eye before exporting. Output is saved at full resolution as PNG, JPG, or WebP. For solid-fill graphics the result is clean; on detailed photographs, replacing a color is approximate by nature, so use a moderate tolerance and check the edges.

How to replace a color in an image

  1. Add your image — drag & drop, paste, or choose a file.
  2. Set the target — click the color in the image, or pick it manually.
  3. Choose the new color — and raise tolerance to include similar shades.
  4. Download — save the edited image as PNG, JPG, or WebP.

Tip: click the image to nail the target shade

Picking the target by clicking the actual pixel is far more reliable than guessing a hex code — a color that looks like one flat tone is often several near-identical shades, and clicking grabs the real one. Then nudge tolerance up until the whole region is covered.

Replace colour: how it works

What it does
Swaps every pixel matching one colour for a new colour, leaving the rest of the image untouched.
Colour output
An edited image with the targeted colour replaced, downloadable as PNG (which keeps transparency), JPG, or WebP at the original resolution.
How it works
You set the target by clicking the colour directly in the image (the most accurate way to grab the exact shade) or by entering a hex value, then pick a replacement. A tolerance slider (0 to 60) controls how close a pixel must be to the target to count as a match, measured as a percentage of the maximum possible RGB distance; the match is feathered over its last stretch so the swap blends in instead of leaving a hard ring.

What you can use it for

  • Changing a flat background fill or recolouring a solid-colour logo.
  • Switching a product to a different colour variant.
  • Cleaning up a stray or unwanted colour in a graphic.
  • Quick colour edits where opening a full image editor would be overkill.

Frequently asked questions

How do I replace one color with another in an image?

Click the color you want to change in the image (or pick it manually), choose the replacement color, set a tolerance, and the matching pixels update live. Then download the result.

What does tolerance do?

It sets how close a pixel must be to the target to be replaced. Low tolerance changes only near-identical pixels; higher tolerance also catches similar shades.

Why are some edges not fully replaced?

On photos, a color spans many subtle shades and anti-aliased edges blend into neighbours. Raise the tolerance to catch more, and the feathered edge keeps the swap from looking harsh.

What formats can I export?

PNG, JPG, or WebP at the original resolution. PNG keeps transparency.
