What do you want?

Colours in your logo

Open a logo to see its colours.

No single background colour found around the edges. Use the button next to the colour you want to remove.

In an SVG a transparent colour is removed everywhere it is used.

Hard to read: the two main colours have a contrast of only :1.

Your logo has no transparent background, so a one-colour version fills the whole box.

No single background colour found. Switch to “Change colours” and pick the colour to remove.

Only recolour logos you own or have permission to use.

How to use the Make Logo Black

  1. 1

    Choose your logo (PNG, SVG, JPG, WebP or AVIF) or drop it on the page. Nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Pick what you need: change each colour, make a colour transparent, or make a white, black or one-colour version. Check it on light, dark and coloured backgrounds.

  3. 3

    Download a PNG, WebP or (for SVG files) SVG at full size, or send it straight to the favicon generator.

Frequently asked questions

Will the edges of my logo stay smooth?

Yes. Edge pixels are blends of two colours; each one is re-mixed between the two new colours at the same ratio, so curves and small text stay crisp instead of getting jagged or blotchy.

Is my logo uploaded anywhere?

No. The colours are changed in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.

Why does it warn me about contrast?

Some colour pairs are hard to read, for example white on light green. The checker measures the contrast between the two main colours and suggests a readable one.

Can I make the background of my logo transparent?

Yes. "Make the background transparent" removes the colour around the edges of your logo (usually a white box). The same colour inside the logo, like the holes in letters, is kept, and the edges blend into any background without a white halo.

Does it work with SVG logos?

Yes, and exactly: in an SVG the colour values in the file are replaced (fills, strokes and gradient stops), so you can download a clean SVG as well as PNG and WebP.

When should I use a white or black logo?

A white logo is for dark backgrounds (a dark website header, slides, a T-shirt); a black one for light backgrounds and print. They work best when your logo has a transparent background.
