PerfectVector
Free local SVG organizer

Group SVG shapes by color—without changing the artwork.

Choose a supported SVG and download one editing-friendly SVG with matching fill colors organized into safe groups. The tool checks the visible result before enabling download.

Public beta

Choose the file you want to organize.

The browser checks the SVG, groups matching solid fills when draw order allows it, and verifies the visible result before download.

Structure, not appearance

What changes—and what stays exactly where you expect it.

The two previews should look identical. The useful difference is inside the SVG: matching solid fills become easier to select and edit together where that reordering is safe.

01

Before

Matching colors can be scattered through mixed source containers.

Mixed parent 1

Mixed parent 2
C · green circleD · yellow pill
Mixed parent 3
E · coral diamondF · light rectangle
02 · Organized safely

After

Safe same-color shapes share color-pure SVG groups; necessary single shapes stay independent.

Preserved

  • Visible fill colors and geometry
  • Canvas, sizing, transforms, and fill rules
  • Verified rendered appearance

Changed

  • Organizational SVG containers
  • Safe draw order when dependencies allow it
  • Repeated fill placement for easier selection

A deliberate safety rule

Why one color can need more than one group.

“Group by color” does not mean forcing every matching shape into one container. Paint order still controls what appears in front.

  1. 1Two red shapes use the same fill.
  2. 2A blue shape sits between them in paint order and touches their boundary.
  3. 3Moving either red shape across blue could alter antialiasing or overlap.
  4. 4The safe result keeps the red shapes separate and reports the reason.

Choose the right color tool

Grouping, separating, and recoloring solve different jobs.

Choose based on the file you need at the end, not just the fact that your SVG contains colors.

Three local steps

From a messy SVG to one verified, editing-friendly file.

The complete transformation and its checks run in your browser.

01

Choose a supported SVG

The browser checks the SVG Normalizer contract and whether the visible artwork can be transformed safely.

02

Review the organization

Compare both previews and inspect the receipt, including colors that required multiple safe objects.

03

Download one verified SVG

Download unlocks only after structural, visual, and independent replay checks pass.

Current tool support

A bounded beta that stops instead of guessing.

The shared processor prepares supported SVG features for this solid-color tool. If preparation changes the artwork, you compare the original and result before grouping begins.

Supported now

  • Static visible shapes with solid fills, plus supported strokes converted to outlined paths
  • Affine transforms, fill rules, per-shape opacity, authored viewBox, and trusted physical size
  • Existing groups and mixed parent structures when every visible fragment maps exactly

Stops safely for

  • Features outside the solid-color contract are removed from the candidate; visible differences require your review
  • Processing stops when preparation leaves no usable solid geometry or the grouped result cannot be verified
  • Mandatory security cleanup, resource limits, timeouts, and unresolved semantics remain hard boundaries

No partial SVG and no approximate fallback are offered. A stopped file remains unchanged on your device.

Private by architecture

The document stays in this browser.

There is no sign-in, credit use, presigned upload, or backend conversion job. Source text, filenames, paths, colors, previews, and output are excluded from logs and analytics.

Normal static application files may load from PerfectVector when the page opens.

Questions before you begin

What this organizer does—and deliberately does not do.

The beta favors a verifiable result over accepting every possible SVG.

What does Group SVG by Color change?

It rebuilds supported visible shapes into color-pure SVG groups or necessary single shapes. It may safely adjust draw order when the dependency checks prove that appearance is preserved.

Does it recolor, merge, or union paths?

No. It does not change the palette, combine geometry, simplify paths, repair paths, or split the artwork into multiple files.

Why can one color appear in more than one group?

Matching shapes sometimes sit on opposite sides of artwork they touch or overlap. Combining them could change paint order, so the tool preserves multiple safe objects for that color.

How does the tool check that the artwork still looks the same?

It validates the output structure, renders the accepted source and candidate, requires zero changed pixels, and compares a second independent grouping run before enabling download.

How is this different from SVG Color Separator?

Color Grouping returns one organized SVG. Color Separator returns one aligned SVG file for each exact color.

Which SVG features are supported?

The shared processor preserves supported solid geometry, converts supported strokes to paths, and removes features outside the grouping contract. If the verified candidate looks different, you compare it before continuing. The tool releases a download only after grouping and replay checks pass.

Does my SVG leave my device?

No. The SVG document and generated result stay in disposable browser workers and local Blob URLs. No document-data request is needed.

Can I open the result in an SVG editor?

The result is a standards-based SVG using normal group containers, but applications can present SVG groups differently. This beta does not yet promise behavior in any named editor.
