SVG Color Reducer
Simplify busy SVGs into clean, controlled palettes — merge near-duplicate colors, remap shades and cut file size.
About this tool
Vector files exported from design tools and auto-tracers often contain dozens of nearly identical colors. The SVG Color Reducer analyzes your file's palette, groups similar shades, and lets you merge or remap them — turning a noisy 60-color SVG into a clean 6-color asset.
Fewer colors means smaller files, easier theming and cleaner cutting paths for plotters and vinyl. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so proprietary artwork stays on your machine.

Frequently asked questions
Why reduce the colors in an SVG?
Auto-traced and exported SVGs often carry dozens of near-identical colors that bloat files and complicate editing, theming and plotting. Reducing them gives you a clean, manageable palette.
Will reducing colors distort my artwork?
No — paths and shapes are untouched. Only fill and stroke colors are merged or remapped.
Is my SVG uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is processed locally in your browser.
