Where SVG Palette Extractor fits

SVG Palette Extractor lists explicit colors found in SVG markup so you can audit or reuse a file palette.

Detected values

The first version detects common hex, rgb, hsl, currentColor, transparent, and basic named color values.

Computed versus explicit colors

The extractor reads colors explicitly written in the markup. Inherited or default colors that browsers apply implicitly are not listed — that is why an occasionally rendered icon shows fewer colors than the report.

Read-only diagnostics, computed locally your document Report elements · bytes · viewBox · ids exactly as parsed — nothing uploaded Diagnostics, not verdicts: judge findings where the SVG ships.
SVG Palette Extractor reports metrics exactly as parsed in your browser — diagnostics to act on, not verdicts.
A document flowing into a metrics report with element, byte, and viewBox counts, illustrating the read-only diagnostics SVG Palette Extractor provides.

Use cases

Use it before recoloring, theme conversion, design audits, or creating color token documentation.

From palette to tokens

The JSON output maps straight to design tokens: copy it into your theme file, name the entries, and both documentation and code share one source of truth.

What the inspector reports

SVG Palette Extractor reads the document locally and reports the metrics relevant to this view — structure, values, and counts exactly as they exist in the file.

Reading the results

Treat the output as diagnostics rather than verdicts. Numbers describe the file; whether they matter depends on where the SVG ships and how it is consumed.

How to use

  1. Paste SVG. Paste an SVG with color attributes or styles.
  2. Review palette. Inspect the extracted color list.
  3. Audit. Check for off-palette colors before shipping.
  4. Copy JSON. Copy the palette report.

Frequently asked questions

Does it parse external CSS?
No. It analyzes the SVG source you paste.
Does it include duplicate colors?
No. The palette report is unique and sorted.
Can I export the palette?
Yes. Copy the JSON output.
Does it extract colors from embedded images?
No. Only colors written in the SVG markup are detected.
Why do I see currentColor in the list?
It is a real value in the file. The report flags it so theme-dependent icons are obvious.
Does case matter for hex values?
The report keeps the original casing so values match the source exactly.
Can I recolor from here?
Pair the report with SVG Recolor or the editor to apply changes.
Is SVG Palette Extractor free?
Yes. SVGKit tools are free to use with no account required.
