How to replace a color in an image
Open an image, click the color to replace, select “Replace color,” choose its new color, tune tolerance, then download the edited PNG.
Click the image to sample a color
Your image, minus one color.Drop a PNG, JPG or WebP to begin.
For complex photos, hair, fur, busy scenes, or a background that shares important colors with the subject.
Pick a known color.
Keep control.
Use this page when the specific outcome is recoloring: replacing a known flat shade with another rather than deleting it to transparency.
What this tool changes
Image Color Remover compares every pixel with the color you select. Pixels inside the selected range become transparent in the downloaded PNG. Start with a narrow tolerance, then widen it only when nearby shades need to be included.
Because the processing happens in your browser, the source image is not uploaded, stored, or edited in place. The download is a new PNG and the original remains untouched.
How to get a clean result
Click a clean representative area of the unwanted color. Keep tolerance low for logos, icons, diagrams, and exact digital fills. For anti-aliased edges or uneven lighting, increase tolerance gradually while watching the checkerboard.
Use a small amount of edge softness only when a hard outline remains. If an important area begins to disappear, lower the tolerance or sample a different pixel.
When this is the right method
Swap one flat brand-color fill in a logo while retaining its original shape and transparent background.
This method is deterministic: it follows the color range you choose instead of guessing which object is the subject. That makes it useful for artwork and flat backgrounds where you need predictable pixel-level control.
Important limitation
Similar shades may need a wider tolerance, while gradients and photographic lighting can make a single color range affect unintended pixels. Check the preview before exporting.
Export as PNG to preserve transparency. JPEG cannot store transparent pixels.
Quick workflow
Open the image → click the unwanted color → adjust tolerance → inspect the transparent preview → download PNG. For a transparent result rather than a recolor, use make a color transparent.
Focused jobs.
One chosen color.
These examples work when the unwanted area is mostly one flat or consistently shaded color.
Refresh a logo color
Swap one flat brand-color fill in a logo while retaining its original shape and transparent background.
Create a quick recolor
Test a new flat accent on a product mockup or graphic before making a source-file edit.
Change one illustration fill
Replace a single consistent fill in simple vector-like artwork, icons, or diagrams.
Reuse a campaign graphic
Adapt one asset to a different color palette without uploading it to a third-party service.
Make one color
transparent.
Small adjustments are safer than a broad threshold, especially near important edges.
Open the source image
Choose PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WebP. Keep the original file as your backup.
Sample the unwanted color
Click a clear pixel, or enter a six-digit HEX value when you know the exact color.
Tune the matching range
Raise tolerance only enough to catch related shades; add slight softness for anti-aliased edges.
Download transparent PNG
Check the result against the checkerboard, then save a new PNG with transparency preserved.
Common questions
Replace Color in Image Online FAQ
How do I replace a color in an image?
Choose “Replace color” in the tool, sample the original color, pick the replacement color, then adjust tolerance until the preview looks right.
Can I replace a color in a JPG?
Yes. You can open JPG, PNG, JPEG, or WebP files. The edited download is PNG so the result is preserved consistently.
What happens to pixels that are already transparent?
They stay transparent. The edit only changes visible pixels that match the selected original color range.
Still seeing white edges?
For an already transparent PNG with pale fringes, try the white halo cleaner. Compare edge colors against dark and light backgrounds before downloading.
