Invert Logo Colors — Dark Mode in One Click

How to invert a logo's colors

1. Export your logo as a PNG — keep the background transparent if it has one.
2. Drop it above and press Invert All for a full negative, or flip single RGB channels if you want to steer the shade.
3. Press Download Image to save the inverted logo at the exact export size, transparency intact.

Start from an SVG? Export it first

An SVG is not an image in the pixel sense — it is a set of drawing instructions, so a color inverter has nothing to grab onto until it becomes a bitmap. That is the one extra step: open the SVG in your design tool (Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape) and export it as a PNG with the transparent background kept. Export at twice the size it will be displayed — 320 px for a 160 px header slot — so the inverted version stays crisp on retina screens.

Turning a black logo white (and icons too)

The most common job here is the black-to-white flip: a dark wordmark or symbol that vanishes on a dark header becomes a clean white version in one click, and the same pass turns a white mark black for light surfaces. App and UI icons behave the same way — inverting a monochrome glyph is the standard trick for generating the dark-mode variant of an icon set. Transparency rides along untouched, so the white logo still floats on any background instead of sitting in a white box. Two workflow notes: run one logo at a time (this tool inverts one file per pass — the homepage inverter is the place for batches), and keep the original export safe, since inversion is its own undo and a second pass restores the source colors exactly.

When an inverted logo is handy

A quick negative is the fastest way to see how a mark behaves on the opposite background: dark logos get a candidate white version for dark-mode sites, email signatures and video overlays, and light logos get one for paper and light UI. It is also a good sketching trick for rebrands — the inverted mark often exposes balance problems the original hides. For anything client-facing, treat the inversion as a preview and fine-tune the real color values afterwards; inverted brand colors rarely match a style guide exactly. And keep the division of labor in mind: flipping all colors is this page's job, while repainting the logo to one specific brand shade belongs to the PNG color changer.

More free image tools

Every Negato tool runs on the same local, watermark-free engine — including the rest of the invert family. Invert image colors of any format, invert a PNG with transparency preserved, flip the colors of a PDF page, or edit PNG colors by replacing specific shades instead of flipping all of them — all free and processed entirely in your browser.
