How to remove the background from an SVG

Add your SVG. Drop one or more SVG files, paste SVG code, or try a sample. Nothing is uploaded.

Check what was found. The background is detected and removed automatically. Untick anything you want to keep.

Remove the rest. Remove a colour such as white from traced logos, click any part in the preview, or clean up a photo inside the SVG.

Download. Save as a transparent SVG, a PNG, or both - with a new background colour if you like. Several files come as one ZIP.

Want it as an app or website icon afterwards? Turn the transparent SVG into an icon with SVG to ICO or SVG to Favicon.

Where SVG backgrounds hide

An SVG background can be built in several ways. The tool checks for all of them.

Background	Typical source	How it is removed
Full-size shape	Illustrator, Figma, Canva exports	Found automatically - a rectangle or shape that covers the canvas behind the artwork
CSS background	Hand-written or web-exported SVG	Found automatically - only the background rule is removed
White shapes	Traced or converted logos	Remove by colour - white around the artwork
Picture inside	PNG or JPG wrapped in an SVG	AI subject or Edge fill on the picture itself

Not sure what is inside your file? The SVG Analyzer lists every element, colour and embedded image.

Tips for a clean result

Check on pink. Switch the preview background to pink - leftover white shows up at once.

Click, don't hunt. Choose Pick parts and click anything left over. Removed parts stay faintly visible, so one more click brings them back.

Keep holes in letters. Leave Only shapes touching the edges on when you remove white from a logo.

Save a PNG too. SVG + PNG gives you a vector for the web and a transparent PNG for documents and social posts.

Shrink it after. Removing a background often leaves editor leftovers - Compress SVG trims the rest.

If the SVG holds a photo or bitmap, the background is inside that picture - switch on Remove the background inside the image. You can also click any part in the preview to remove it.

Open Colours and click the white swatch. With Only shapes touching the edges on, the white around the logo goes but white details inside it, like the holes in letters, stay.

Turn that switch off to remove every white shape. Made the SVG with our PNG to SVG converter? This is the quickest clean-up.
