Solid Color Backgrounds
Generate a plain, solid colour image at any size. Pick a swatch or type a hex code, choose a preset resolution or your own dimensions, and download a PNG, JPEG or WebP. There is nothing to upload and nothing to install.

What this tool does
It creates an image file that contains one colour and nothing else. That sounds trivial until you need one: most people end up opening a full image editor, making a new document, filling it, and exporting, for a file that takes two clicks here.
What you need
A colour and a size. If you are matching a brand, have the hex code to hand; the text field accepts it with or without the leading hash.
How to download a solid colour background
- Choose the colour. Click a swatch, use the colour picker, or type a hex code.
- Choose the size. Square, Full HD, portrait, QHD, 4K, or custom dimensions.
- Pick a format and download. The preview is scaled down; the file is full size.
When you actually need one of these
- A placeholder while a real image is still being shot or licensed.
- A plain backdrop for a video call, a slide, or a phone wallpaper.
- A flat base to composite a logo or text onto in another tool.
- Testing how a layout handles an image of a given aspect ratio.
- A colour block behind a transparent PNG to check its edges.
What it will not do
- Gradients. One flat colour only. A two-stop gradient needs a real editor.
- Transparency. Every pixel is filled. A fully transparent PNG is not something this generates.
- Exact print colour. These are RGB files. Print work needs CMYK from a print-aware application, and the on-screen colour will not match the ink.
- Text or shapes. Composite those on afterwards.
How this differs from the other tools here
The square image converter also has a solid-colour mode, but there the colour fills the space around a photo. This page produces the colour on its own, at any aspect ratio rather than only 1:1. If you want a whole photo on a coloured square for a profile picture, the Full DP maker is the right one.
Frequently asked questions
Which format should I download?
PNG for a flat colour: it is lossless and a single-colour PNG is only a few kilobytes whatever the dimensions. JPEG re-encodes the colour and can leave faint blocking on a saturated hue. WebP is the smallest of the three and fine for the web.
Will the colour match my hex code exactly?
In PNG and WebP, yes. JPEG is lossy, so a strong red or blue can shift by a value or two. If the colour has to be exact for a brand, use PNG.
What is the largest size I can make?
10,000 pixels on either edge. Past that a browser canvas can run out of memory, and a flat colour that large is almost never what you actually need.
Can I make a transparent image instead?
Not here; this generates a filled rectangle. For a transparent area around a picture, use the rounded corners tool and export as PNG.
Does this send anything to a server?
No. There is nothing to upload. The rectangle is drawn on a canvas in your browser and saved from there.
