Recolour

How the recolour works

Whatever is in your image is a shape with soft edges. This tool paints that shape in the colour you choose and keeps the edges soft. In a cut-out PNG the transparent background says where the subject is, so a black logo, a blue icon or a photographed object all recolour cleanly. A black or white logo on a solid background is read by how dark or light each pixel is. The tool picks the approach automatically, and you can nudge it. You get back a clean PNG, transparent or on a solid colour.

It runs entirely in your browser. The image is read, recoloured and saved by your own device, so nothing is uploaded, there is no account and there is no watermark. Change the colour as many times as you like and watch it update live, and hold the compare button to check it against the original.

When it works, and when it will not

This turns a subject into one flat colour, which is exactly what you want for logos, icons, symbols and cut-out graphics. What it cannot do is invent a shape that is not there: if your image is a photograph with the subject still sitting on its background, there is nothing separating the subject from everything else, so it cannot isolate just the thing you mean. For that you first need the background removed. It also keeps things flat by design, so it will not preserve shading or multiple colours within the subject. And if you have the original as a proper vector file (an SVG, EPS or AI), recolouring it there keeps it razor sharp at any size, which is always the better route when the artwork exists. If you are wrestling with brand files and would rather someone sorted them, that is part of what I do. There is a link below.
