About This Tool

This tool replaces a defined source color in an uploaded image with a target color, preserving shading and texture to maintain photorealism. It serves designers, marketers, product photographers, and social media editors who need rapid palette updates for branding or experimentation without a full image editor. It supports single swaps per operation and can be used on photos, banners, or thumbnails.
Core operation identifies pixels close to the source color using perceptual color distance and swaps them to the chosen target color while preserving luminance. Users set a tolerance to control how broadly the replacement applies and may apply optional masks to restrict changes to regions, such as a product silhouette or background.
Algorithms run in a perceptual color space and use Delta E (CIEDE2000) to measure similarity. The replacement respects shading and texture by adjusting chroma while leaving luminance intact, with outputs saved in web-friendly PNG or JPEG formats. Outputs support straightforward branding workflows and asset reuse.
Audience and differentiators: branding teams, asset studios, freelancers, and e-commerce managers benefit from a fast, repeatable workflow that maintains image quality. Distinct value comes from perceptual color matching, non-destructive previews, and simple inputs that enable rapid testing of color options and consistent branding across assets.

How to Use

  1. Upload the image and specify the source color to replace.
  2. Choose the target color and set tolerance to control swap breadth.
  3. (Optional) apply a mask to limit changes to regions.
  4. Run the color swap and review the preview.
  5. Export the final image in PNG or JPEG.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What formats are supported for input and output?
Input accepts PNG, JPEG, and WebP. Output is provided as PNG or JPEG, with color integrity preserved for typical web usage.
How is color similarity determined?
Similarity is evaluated in the perceptual Lab color space using Delta E (CIEDE2000). Pixels within the tolerance distance from the source color are swapped to the target color while preserving luminance.
Can I swap multiple colors in one operation?
A single operation targets one source color. To swap several colors, perform multiple sequential runs or use masking to constrain regions for successive swaps.
Will the swap degrade image quality?
The algorithm preserves shading and texture by operating in a perceptual space and limiting chromatic changes, yielding high-quality results suitable for web and print with standard outputs.
