About Remove Fill

Remove all solid and gradient fills from SVG elements, leaving only wireframes or stroke outlines for technical diagrams and icon sets. It strips XML `fill` attributes as well as inline CSS `fill:` properties across the entire document. Stripping hardcoded fills enables effortless dynamic styling using CSS stylesheets.

How It Works

01

Paste your SVG markup.

02

The cleaner removes fill attributes and styles.

03

Copy the outline SVG.

Fill removal notes

Remove Fill strips hardcoded fill values when you need an outline-first asset or want a stylesheet to control the fill later. The operation can make shapes invisible if they have no stroke, so inspect the result in the target context.

What this tool does

  • Removes supported fill attributes and inline CSS fill declarations.
  • Leaves path and shape geometry available for later styling with CSS or a separate stroke pass.
  • Creates a focused output without changing the underlying coordinate data.

Review before publishing

  • A shape with no stroke may disappear when its fill is removed.
  • Fill values inside complex styles, definitions, or external stylesheets may need separate review.
  • Removing a fill does not automatically create a visually balanced outline or choose a replacement color.
