How to Change the Color of an Image Online

Published 2026-07-13 by Image Color Changer

If you need to change the color of an image online, begin by deciding whether you want to replace a color everywhere or recolor only one object. Global color replacement is useful for simple graphics and distinct hues. Object-level editing needs masking or selection tools.

1. Pick the Right Source Image

Choose a PNG, JPG, or JPEG with a color that is clearly different from nearby content. The cleaner the separation between the source hue and the rest of the image, the easier it is to get a useful result. Use the image color editor to begin.

For transparent icons and graphics, read how to recolor a PNG. For a photo, use the JPG color changer.

2. Set Source and Target Colors

Enter the HEX value of the existing color and the HEX value you want to use instead. Start with a narrow tolerance. This limits the match to colors close to the source hue and reduces the chance of changing unrelated details.

3. Preview, Then Adjust

Apply the replacement and inspect the image. Look especially at shadows, gradients, small text, outlines, reflections, and regions where the source hue appears more than once. If part of the intended area remains unchanged, increase tolerance gradually. If unrelated content changes, reduce it.

4. Download a Checked PNG

When the preview looks right, download the PNG result. Existing PNG transparency is retained. The tool accepts JPG and JPEG input too, but exports the processed file as PNG.

For logos, use the logo recoloring guide. For product images, review product color-change limitations before publishing a color variant.
