Frequently asked questions

What does this tool produce?

It finds a CSS filter chain that recolors a black source element to your target hex, which is how you tint monochrome SVG or icon fonts with CSS alone.

Why does the result start from black?

The filter math assumes a black starting pixel. Set your icon or SVG fill to black first, then apply the generated filter.

Why is the color slightly off?

The solution is computed by optimization, so it converges very close but not always pixel-perfect. Regenerate for a closer match if needed.

When should I use currentColor instead?

For inline SVG, setting fill to currentColor is simpler and exact. Use the filter approach when you cannot edit the SVG markup, such as a background image.

Does it work on photos?

No. It is meant for solid single-color graphics. Applying it to a photo just shifts all its colors.

Is any data uploaded?

No. The filter is computed locally in your browser.
