The Image Recoloring Tool allows you to:
-
empower customers to remove the background from images*
-
enable or force them to recolor multi-color images or convert them to a one-color image
IMPORTANT
It only works with solid color backgrounds, the tool is not meant to work to clip images, it allows to remove a solid background and replace it with a transparency (mainly used for logos, cliparts, ... not for photos). See below an example:

Before you start
-
The tool is an Add-on. Depending on your subscription plan, you might need to activate it from the Addon section in your Zakeke back-office.
-
The tool works with PNG, JPEG, EPS, and PDF files.
-
You don't need this tool if you just want your customers to be able to change the colors of an SVG image because that is a default Zakeke feature. Learn more.
- The recoloring tool works only if uploaded images don't have more than 10 different colors.
Create and manage rules
In order to create and manage new rules you need to:
- Go to Zakeke's Tools
- Select Background remover + Image recoloring
- Click on Add Rule
Each rule defines how your customers can edit the image:
-
Force customers to convert images to one-color image: just choose between providing them a set of colors (if only one, the uploaded image will be automatically recolored in that color) or provide them with a color-picker.
-
Allow users to edit colors on multi-color images without forcing them to choose a one-color: check the option "enable multi recoloring images".
You then decide on which printing methods or products the tool should be activated.
IMPORTANT
When you create or update a rule it may take a few minutes to take effect in the customizer.
