Recolor Studio
Recolour a PSD or raster design: quick intensity shifts, a palette remap with library snapping, or a full colorway where you choose every target colour.

Options & Settings
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mode | Pills | Basic = lighter/darker/warmer/cooler. Palette = remap to a textile palette + duotone + full remap. Colorway = extract dominant colors and remap each to a target. BasicPaletteColorway |
| Intensity | Slider | How strong the shift is in Basic mode (Lab L/b axis). 10-100 |
| Seasonal Palette | Buttons | Built-in textile palettes used in Palette mode. SpringSummerAutumnWinterEarthOceanCustom |
| Color Harmonies | Buttons | Derive a palette from the design's own dominant colour by colour-wheel relationship, instead of picking a seasonal one. ComplementAnalogousTriadicSplitMono |
| My Palettes | Buttons | Palettes you have saved. Save as stores the current colours under a name so a house colourway can be reused across jobs. |
| Snap to Texloom colours | Toggle | Round palette colours to the nearest Texloom library colour before applying. |
| Smooth blend | Toggle | Palette mode. Diffuses banding on gradients in the Duotone and Full Remap variants. |
| Extract Colors | Dropdown | How many dominant colors Colorway mode extracts. The Smart button extracts them and applies suggested settings with a complementary harmony in one click. 45678 |
| Textile Presets | Buttons | Colorway mode. Starting settings tuned for a kind of product. Fashion PrintHome TextileDenim/WorkwearSportswear |
| Color Tolerance | Slider | Colour-difference threshold for which source pixels each mapping captures. Tight is precise; loose covers more. 10-100 |
| Edge Blending | Slider | Soft transition between recolored regions to avoid hard banding. 0-100 |
| Chroma Preservation | Slider | Keep saturation of original pixel highlights/shadows when mapping to a flat target color. 0-100 |
| Preserve luminance | Toggle | Colorway mode. Keeps the original shading and texture. |
| Process layer-by-layer | Toggle | PSD only — recolor each named layer independently for cleaner separations. |
| Download Format | Buttons | Opens on your account's default format, else PNG. PSD is offered only when the source is a PSD, and keeps its layers. The ZIP of every variant is PNG or JPG. PSDPNGJPG |
When to Use
- Generating seasonal colorways from a single base pattern
- Adapting one artwork to multiple brand palettes
- Recoloring layered PSDs without re-painting in Photoshop
- Finding production-safe library colours for screen colours
- Producing a duotone or limited-palette version of a complex design
Pro Tips
Drop a PSD to keep layers — PNG/JPG/WebP also work but flatten the result
Switch modes as you like: each mode keeps its own variants, so nothing has to be generated twice
Use Extract Colors before generating in Colorway mode — without mappings the run is rejected
Click any variant to preview it on the main canvas; the original stays for hover-to-compare
Download All ZIP (icon button beside Download) bundles every variant in the chosen format
Variants auto-save for 24h — refresh or switch tools and they restore
Hold edits before pressing Generate Variants — the button only re-enables when settings (or color edits) actually change
What to Expect
Best Results
- PSDs with named, flat-color layers
- Designs with 3–8 distinct colors
- RGB sources (CMYK PSDs are converted)
- Raster images with strong color separation
Limited Results
- Photographic images with thousands of subtly varying colors (colour grouping struggles)
- Heavy gradient artwork (recolor looks blotchy without high Edge Blending)
- Near-monochrome images (Colorway extraction warns and may produce only one mapping)
- PSDs with smart objects, adjustment layers, or non-standard blend modes
Real-World Examples
Seasonal Pack from One PSD
A floral PSD with named layers was generated into Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter colorways via the seasonal palette presets, then exported as four layered PSDs with one ZIP click.
Brand-Specific Recolor
Colorway mode extracted 6 dominant colors, each remapped to a brand's library-snapped hex via the color picker. Edge Blending = 60 kept the soft watercolor edges intact.
Raster Pattern, No PSD
A flat PNG mockup was dropped in, Palette mode generated Primary / Secondary / Duotone / Full Remap variants in one shot, and PNG/JPG download worked even though there was no PSD source.
